If the trustee earned the fee and then decided to give you part of that fee out of nothing more than love and affection, then that would be a gift from the trustee to you.
I wholeheartedly agree that you should consult with a local tax professional in that respect and disregard any advice or information from those who are not aware that trusts have trustees while estates do not.
