Structure of this Part 85B The structure of this Part is as follows— This Chapter contains preliminary provisions; Chapter 2 deals with entry into the Funds Investing in Non-Reporting Offshore Funds regime (“FINROF regime”); Chapter 3 deals with the tax treatment of FINROFs and of participants in FINROFs; Chapter 4 deals with exceptions, etc from the charge to tax; Chapter 5 deals with disposal of units in FINROFs; Chapter 6 deals with income gains and computation of income gains; Chapter 7 deals with deduction of income gains in computing chargeable gains; Chapter 8 deals with leaving the FINROF regime. Interpretation 85C In this Part— “gross asset value” means the value of the investments comprising the scheme property of the authorised investment fund before the deduction of specified liabilities, but does not include cash awaiting investment; “non-reporting fund” has the same meaning as in the Offshore Funds Regulations ; “offshore fund” means a fund within the meaning of section 40A(2) of the Finance Act 2008 ; “Offshore Funds Regulations” means the Offshore Funds (Tax) Regulations 2009 ; “reporting fund” has the same meaning as in regulation 50 of the Offshore Funds Regulations. The investment condition 85D 1 The investment condition is met in relation to an authorised investment fund if the total amount invested in non-reporting funds or FINROFs is more than 20% of the gross asset value of the authorised investment fund. 2 This regulation is subject to regulation 85E. Interests in funds treated as not being interests in non-reporting funds 85E 1 For the purposes of regulation 85D(1) the interests specified in paragraph (2) shall not be regarded as interests in non-reporting funds. 2 The interests specified are— a any interest in an offshore fund in respect of which, by virtue of regulation 29 of the Offshore Funds Regulations (interests in transparent funds), no liability to tax would arise under regulation 17 of those Regulations (the charge to tax) on a disposal of that interest, and b any interest in an offshore fund that is treated as creditor relationship rights under section 490 of CTA 2009 . Elective FINROFs 85F 1 An authorised investment fund which does not meet the investment condition may elect to be treated as a FINROF (an “elective FINROF”). This is subject to paragraph (4). 2 An election under paragraph (1) must— a be made in writing to HM Revenue and Customs by the manager; and b specify the date from which the fund is to be so treated. 3 But the manager must not specify a date which is more than 3 months before the date of the election mentioned in paragraph (2). 4 Before making an election, the fund must have obtained any necessary regulatory approval in respect of the instrument constituting the fund and the prospectus. CHAPTER 2 Entry into Funds Investing in Non-Reporting Offshore Fund (“FINROF”) regime Entry into FINROF regime: the basic rule 85G This Part applies to an authorised investment fund from— a the date on which the fund first met the condition in regulation 85D (the investment condition); or b the date specified in the notice given under regulation 85F (elective FINROFs), whichever is the earlier. The requirement to notify where regulation 85D is satisfied 85H 1 The legal owner of an authorised investment fund which is a FINROF by virtue of regulation 85D must notify HM Revenue and Customs of the date on which the fund first met the investment condition within a period of 3 months beginning with the date on which the fund first met that condition. 2 For the purposes of paragraph (1), no account shall be taken of the period before the date of any previous valid election under regulation 85Z9 (leaving the FINROF regime). 3 An authorised investment fund that fails to comply with this regulation is liable to a penalty not exceeding £3,000 determined in accordance with section 100 of TMA 1970 . 4 Sections 100A, 100B, 102, 103(4) and 118(2) of TMA 1970 apply to a penalty determined in accordance with paragraph (3). 5 This regulation is subject to regulation 85J (inadvertent fulfilment of investment condition). The requirement to notify participants when a fund enters the FINROF regime 85I 1 The legal owner must notify the participants in a fund that the fund has entered the FINROF regime and inform them that any gains made on the disposal of units in the fund shall be treated as an income gain rather than a capital gain, in accordance with Chapter 3 of this Part. 2 The notification under paragraph (1) must be given within a period of 3 months beginning with the date on which this Part first applied to the fund. 3 For the purposes of paragraph (2), no account shall be taken of the period before the date of any previous valid election under regulation 85Z9 (leaving the FINROF regime). 4 An authorised investment fund that fails to comply with this regulation is liable to a penalty not exceeding £3,000 determined in accordance with section 100 of TMA 1970. 5 Sections 100A, 100B, 102, 103(4) and 118(2) of TMA 1970 apply to a penalty determined in accordance with paragraph (4). 6 This regulation is subject to regulation 85J. Inadvertent fulfilment of investment condition 85J 1 If this regulation applies a fund shall be treated as if it had never met the investment condition and consequently none of the provisions of this Part (including the penalty provisions in regulations 85H and 85I) apply to the fund. 2 This regulation applies where— a an authorised investment fund meets the investment condition but as soon as possible after becoming aware that the condition is met, the legal owner gives notice in writing to HM Revenue and Customs of the steps that the fund has taken, or proposes to take, to ensure that the fund no longer meets that condition, b the fund ceases the meet the investment condition before the end of a 4 month period beginning with the date that the fund first met the condition and the legal owner gives notice in writing to HM Revenue and Customs that the fund no longer meets the condition, and c HM Revenue and Customs issue a notice in writing that this regulation applies. 3 HM Revenue and Customs must, within a period of 28 days beginning with the date on which they receive notice from the legal owner that the fund no longer meets the investment condition, issue a notice in writing to the legal owner that— a this regulation applies, or b this regulation does not apply as HM Revenue and Customs are not satisfied that the conditions in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of paragraph (2) are met for the reasons specified in the notice. Appeal against refusal to provide written notice 85K 1 A legal owner to whom a notice is issued under paragraph (3)(b) of regulation 85J (a “refusal notice”) may appeal. 2 The notice of appeal must be given to HM Revenue and Customs within a period of 28 days beginning with the day on which HM Revenue and Customs issued the refusal notice. 3 On an appeal that is notified to the tribunal, the tribunal shall determine whether it was just and reasonable for HM Revenue and Customs to issue the refusal notice. 4 If the tribunal determine that it was just and reasonable for HM Revenue and Customs to issue the refusal notice, this Part applies to the fund from the date on which it first met the investment condition and the legal owner must notify the participants in the fund in accordance with regulation 85I. 5 If the tribunal determine that it was not just and reasonable for HM Revenue and Customs to issue the refusal notice, paragraph (1) of regulation 85J shall apply. Disposal of an interest in an authorised investment fund prior to its becoming a FINROF 85L 1 This regulation applies if an authorised investment fund either meets the investment condition or becomes an elective FINROF in accordance with regulation 85F. 2 A participant in the fund may make an election to be treated for the purposes of TCGA 1992 — a as disposing of all the units that they hold in the authorised investment fund on the deemed disposal date, and b as immediately upon that disposal, acquiring units in the FINROF. 3 The disposal referred to in paragraph (2)(a) is treated as made for a consideration equal to the market value of the participant’s holding of units in the fund on the deemed disposal date. 4 The acquisition referred to in paragraph (2)(b) is treated as made for a consideration equal to the consideration for the disposal referred to in paragraph (2)(a). 5 If the participant is chargeable to income tax, the election mentioned in paragraph (2) must be made by being included in a return made for the tax year which includes the deemed disposal date. 6 If the participant is chargeable to corporation tax, the election mentioned in paragraph (2) must be made by being included in the participant’s company tax return for the accounting period which includes the deemed disposal date. 7 In this regulation— a “company tax return” has the same meaning as in Schedule 18 to the Finance Act 1998 , and b “deemed disposal date” means the date on which this Part begins to apply to the authorised investment fund. CHAPTER 3 Tax treatment of FINROFs and of participants in FINROFs The charge to tax The charge to tax: general provisions 85M 1 There is a charge to tax if— a a person disposes of an asset, b either condition A or condition B is met, and c as a result of the disposal, an income gain (see regulation 85Z) arises to the person making the disposal. 2 Condition A is that the asset consists of units in a FINROF at the time of the disposal. 3 Condition B is that— a the asset consists of units in an authorised investment fund that had been a FINROF for some of the material period; and b no valid election under regulation 85Z11 (participant’s power to elect for deemed disposal) was made in relation to the asset. 4 In paragraph (3) “the material period” means a period beginning with the date of acquisition of the asset and ending with the date of the disposal. The charge to tax: further provisions 85N 1 The income gain arising is treated for all purposes of the Tax Acts as income which arises at the time of the disposal to the person making the disposal (or treated as making the disposal). 2 The tax is charged on the person making the disposal (or treated as making the disposal). 3 In the case of a person chargeable to income tax, tax is charged under Chapter 8 of Part 5 of ITTOIA 2005 (miscellaneous income: income not otherwise charged) for the year of assessment in which the disposal is made, but sections 688(1) (income charged) and 689 (person liable) of ITTOIA 2005 do not apply. 4 In the case of a person chargeable to corporation tax, tax is charged under Chapter 8 of Part 10 of CTA 2009 (miscellaneous income: income not otherwise charged) for the accounting period in which the disposal is made. Application of certain provisions of TCGA 1992 85O The following enactments have effect in relation to income tax or corporation tax in respect of income gains as they have effect in relation to capital gains tax or corporation tax in respect of chargeable gains— a section 2(1) of TCGA 1992 (persons chargeable to capital gains tax); b section 10 of TCGA 1992 (non-resident with a United Kingdom branch or agency); c section 10B of TCGA 1992 (non-resident company with United Kingdom permanent establishment). Application of section 10A of TCGA 1992 85P 1 Section 10A of TCGA 1992 (temporary non-residence) applies for the purposes of this Part with the following modifications. 2 The section applies as if, in subsection (2)— a the reference to section 86A were omitted; b for the reference to capital gains tax there were substituted a reference to income tax; c in paragraph (a), for the reference to chargeable gains and losses there were substituted a reference to income gains; d paragraphs (b) and (c) were omitted; and e for the references to gains or losses there were substituted a reference to income gains. 3 The section applies as if, in subsection (3)— a for the reference to gains and losses there were substituted a reference to income gains; and b for the reference to any gain or loss there were substituted a reference to any income gains. 4 The section applies as if subsection (4) were omitted. 5 The section applies as if, in subsection (5)— a for the reference to gains and losses there were substituted a reference to income gains; b for the reference to any chargeable gain or allowable loss there were substituted a reference to any income gain; and c for the reference to section 10 or 16(3) there were substituted a reference to regulation 85O(b) (application of certain provisions of TCGA ). 6 The section applies as if subsection (6) were omitted. 7 The section applies as if, in subsection (7), for the reference to capital gains tax there were substituted a reference to income tax. 8 The section applies as if, in subsection (9C)— a for the reference to capital gains tax there were substituted a reference to income tax; and b for the reference to chargeable gains there were substituted a reference to income gains. CHAPTER 4 Exceptions, etc from the charge to tax Exceptions from the charge to tax 85Q 1 No liability to tax arises under regulation 85M (the charge to tax: general provisions) if condition A or B is met. 2 Condition A is that the participant is required to treat units in the FINROF as a loan relationship to which the provisions of Chapter 3 of Part 6 of CTA 2009 apply. 3 Condition B is that the participant is required to treat units in the FINROF as a derivative contract to which the provisions of Part 7 of CTA 2009 apply. Trading stock etc. 85R 1 No liability to tax arises under regulation 85M if condition A or B is met. 2 Condition A is that the units in the fund are held as trading stock. 3 Condition B is that the disposal of the units is taken into account in computing the profits of a trade. Long-term insurance funds of insurance companies 85S 1 No liability to tax arises under regulation 85M in respect of disposals of units of an insurance company’s long-term insurance fund. 2 In paragraph (1) “insurance company” and “long-term insurance fund” have the same meaning as in section 431(2) of ICTA . Charitable companies and charitable trusts 85T 1 A charitable company shall be exempt from corporation tax in respect of an income gain if the gain is applicable and is applied for charitable purposes. 2 A charitable trust shall be exempt from income tax in respect of an income gain if the gain is applicable and is applied for charitable purposes. 3 Paragraphs (4) and (5) apply if— a property held on charitable trusts ceases to be subject to charitable trusts, and b that property represents directly or indirectly an income gain. 4 The trustees are treated as if they had disposed of and immediately reacquired that property for a consideration equal to its market value. 5 An income gain accruing on the disposal arising under paragraph (4) is treated as an income gain not accruing to a charity. 6 In this regulation “charity” and “charitable company” have the same meaning as in section 506 of ICTA . CHAPTER 5 Disposal of units in FINROFs Application of this Chapter 85U This Chapter applies if a participant disposes of an asset and at the time of the disposal— a the asset consists of units in a FINROF, or b the asset consists of units in an authorised investment fund that is not a FINROF and the requirements specified in paragraph (3) of regulation 85M are met. Disposal of an asset: the basic rule 85V 1 There is a disposal of an asset for the purposes of this Part if there would be a disposal of an asset for the purposes of TCGA 1992. 2 Paragraph (1) is subject to the following regulations in this Chapter. Provisions applicable on death 85W 1 Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section 62 of TCGA 1992 (general provisions applicable on death: no deemed disposal by the deceased), where a person dies and the assets of which the deceased was competent to dispose at the time of death include units in a FINROF, then, for the purposes of these Regulations— a immediately before the acquisition referred to in paragraph (a) of that subsection, those units shall be deemed to be disposed of by the deceased for such a consideration as is mentioned in that subsection; but b nothing in this regulation affects the determination, in accordance with regulation 85U, of the question whether that deemed disposal is one to which this Chapter applies. 2 Subject to paragraph (1), section 62 of TCGA 1992 applies for the purposes of these Regulations as it applies for the purposes of that Act, and the reference in that paragraph to the assets of which a deceased person was competent to dispose are to be construed in accordance with subsection (10) of that section. Application of section 135 of TCGA 1992 85X 1 Section 135 of TCGA 1992 (exchange of securities for those in another company treated as not involving a disposal) does not apply for the purposes of this Part to the extent that— a the interest in the entity that is company A for the purposes of that section that is exchanged is units in a FINROF, and b the interest in the entity that is company B for those purposes that is exchanged is not units in such a fund. 2 In a case where section 135 of TCGA 1992 would apply apart from paragraph (1), the exchange in question shall for the purposes of this Part constitute a disposal of units in the FINROF for a consideration equal to their market value at the time of the exchange. Application of section 136 of TCGA 1992 85Y 1 Section 136 of TCGA 1992 (scheme of reconstruction involving issue of securities treated as exchange not involving disposal) does not apply for the purposes of this Part to the extent that— a the interest in the entity that is company A for the purposes of that section that is exchanged is units in a FINROF, and b the interest in the entity that is company B for those purposes that is exchanged is not units in such a fund. 2 In a case where section 136 of TCGA 1992 would apply apart from paragraph (1), the deemed exchange in question shall for the purposes of this Part constitute a disposal of units in the FINROF for a consideration equal to their market value at the time of the deemed exchange. CHAPTER 6 Income gains and computation of income gains General provisions 85Z 1 An income gain arises to a person on the disposal of an asset if a basic gain arises on the disposal. 2 The disposal gives rise to an income gain of an amount equal to the basic gain on the disposal. 3 The following provisions of this Chapter explain how the basic gain is computed. The basic gain and its computation 85Z1 1 In the case of a participant chargeable to income tax, the basic gain is a gain of the amount which would be the gain on that disposal for the purposes of TCGA 1992 if the gain were computed without regard to any charge to income tax arising under this Part. 2 In the case of a participant chargeable to corporation tax, the basic gain is a gain of the amount which would be the gain on that disposal for the purposes of TCGA 1992 if the gain were computed— a without regard to any charge to corporation tax arising under this Part, and b without regard to any indexation allowance on the disposal under TCGA 1992. 3 The computation of the basic gain is subject to— a regulation 85W (provisions applicable on death); b regulation 85X (application of section 135 of TCGA 1992); c regulation 85Y (application of section 136 of TCGA 1992); d regulation 85Z2 (earlier disposal to which the no gain/no loss basis applies); e regulation 85Z3 (modifications of TCGA 1992); and f regulation 85Z4 (losses). Earlier disposal to which the no gain/no loss basis applies 85Z2 1 This regulation applies if— a a participant is chargeable to corporation tax, and b the amount of any chargeable gain or allowable loss which would arise on the disposal would fall to be computed in a way which, in whole or in part, would take account of the indexation allowance on an earlier disposal to which section 56(2) of TCGA 1992 (disposals on a no gain/no loss basis) applies. 2 The basic gain on the disposal is computed as if— a no indexation allowance had been available on any such earlier disposal, and b subject to that, neither a gain nor a loss had arisen to the person making such an earlier disposal. Modifications of TCGA 1992 85Z3 1 If the disposal forms part of a transfer to which section 162 of TCGA 1992 (roll-over relief on transfer of business) applies, the basic gain arising on the disposal is computed without regard to any deduction which falls to be made under that section in computing a chargeable gain. 2 If the disposal is made otherwise than under a bargain at arm’s length and a claim for relief is made in respect of that disposal under section 165 or 260 of TCGA 1992 (relief for gifts), the claim does not affect the computation of the basic gain arising on the disposal. Losses 85Z4 1 If the effect of any computation under regulations 85Z1 to 85Z3 would be to produce a loss, the basic gain on the disposal is nil. 2 Paragraph (1) applies notwithstanding section 16 of TCGA 1992 (losses determined in like manner as gains). 3 Accordingly, for the purposes of these Regulations, no loss is to be treated as arising on the disposal. CHAPTER 7 Deduction of income gains in computing chargeable gains Scope of this Chapter 85Z5 1 This Chapter applies if— a a disposal gives rise to an income gain, and b that disposal also constitutes the disposal of the units concerned for the purposes of TCGA 1992. 2 In this Chapter, the disposal specified in paragraph (1)(b) is called the “TCGA disposal”. Treatment of the TCGA disposal: general rules 85Z6 1 This regulation applies for the purposes of the computation of the chargeable gain arising on the TCGA disposal. 2 The provisions of this regulation have effect in relation to the TCGA disposal in substitution for section 37(1) of TCGA 1992 (deduction of consideration chargeable to tax on income). 3 In the computation of the gain arising on the TCGA disposal, a sum equal to the income gain shall be deducted from the sum which would otherwise constitute the amount or value of the consideration for the disposal. 4 Paragraph (3) is subject to the following provisions of this Chapter. 5 Paragraph (6) applies if the TCGA disposal is of such a nature that, by virtue of section 42 of TCGA (part disposal), an apportionment falls to be made of certain expenditure. 6 No deduction is to be made by virtue of paragraph (3) in determining the amount or value of the consideration for the purpose of the fraction in section 42(2) of TCGA 1992. Modification of section 162 TCGA 1992 85Z7 1 This regulation applies if the TCGA disposal forms part of a transfer to which section 162 of TCGA applies (roll-over relief on transfer of business in exchange wholly or partly for shares). 2 For the purposes of subsection (4) of section 162 of TCGA 1992 (determination of the amount of the deduction from the gain on the old assets) “B” in the fraction in that subsection (the value of the whole of the consideration received by the transferor in exchange for the business) is to be taken to be what it would be if the value of the consideration other than shares so received by the transferor were reduced by an amount equal to the income gain. Application of section 128 of TCGA 1992 85Z8 1 This regulation applies if there is a disposal to which this Part applies by virtue of— a regulation 85X (application of section 135 of TCGA 1992), and b regulation 85Y (application of section 136 of TCGA 1992). 2 TCGA 1992 has effect as if an amount equal to the income gain to which that disposal gives rise were given (by the person making the exchange) as consideration for the new holding (within the meaning of section 128 of that Act (consideration given or received for new holding on a reorganisation)). CHAPTER 8 Leaving the FINROF regime Leaving the FINROF regime 85Z9 1 The provisions of this Part apply to a FINROF until the date specified in an election under this regulation made by the manager. 2 An election under this regulation must be made to HM Revenue and Customs in writing and must comply with the following provisions of this regulation. 3 An election may only be made in respect of a FINROF if— a the FINROF does not meet the investment condition— i at the date specified in the election, and ii at the date on which the election is made, b the FINROF has been subject to this Part for at least one complete accounting period, and c the fund has obtained any necessary regulatory approval of the instrument constituting the fund and the prospectus. 4 An election under this regulation must specify the date from which this Part ceases to apply to the FINROF. 5 But the date specified in paragraph (4) must not be earlier than the date which is 3 months before the date on which the election is made. Requirement to notify participants when a fund leaves the FINROF regime 85Z10 1 If an election is made under regulation 85Z9, the legal owner must notify the participants in a fund that this Part no longer applies to the fund but continues to apply to a participant unless an election is made in accordance with regulation 85Z11. 2 The notification under paragraph (1) must be made within a period of 3 months beginning with the date mentioned in regulation 85Z9(5). 3 An authorised investment fund which fails to comply with this regulation is liable to a penalty not exceeding £3,000 determined in accordance with section 100 of TMA 1970 . 4 Sections 100A, 100B, 102, 103(4) and 118(2) of TMA 1970 apply to a penalty determined in accordance with paragraph (3) . Participant’s power to elect for deemed disposal 85Z11 1 Notwithstanding an election made under regulation 85Z9, this Part continues to apply to a participant in a FINROF unless the participant makes an election in accordance with paragraph (2). 2 A participant in the fund may make an election to be treated— a as disposing of the units owned by the participant in the FINROF at their market value on the deemed disposal date, and b as acquiring units in the authorised investment fund on the deemed disposal date. 3 The income gain arising on the deemed disposal referred to in paragraph (2)(a) shall be determined in accordance with Chapter 6 of this Part. 4 The acquisition referred to in paragraph (2)(b) is treated as made for a consideration equal to the consideration for the disposal referred to in paragraph (2)(a). 5 An election may not be made under paragraph (2) unless the income gain arising on the disposal referred to in paragraph (2)(a) (determined in accordance with Chapter 6 of this Part) is greater than zero. 6 If the participant is chargeable to income tax, the election mentioned in paragraph (2) must be made by being included in a return made for the tax year which includes the deemed disposal date. 7 If the participant is chargeable to corporation tax, the election mentioned in paragraph (2) must be made by being included in the participant’s company tax return for the accounting period which includes the deemed disposal date. 8 In this regulation— “company tax return” has the same meaning as in Schedule 18 to the Finance Act 1998 ; and the “deemed disposal date” means the date on which, in accordance with regulation 85Z9, the fund ceases to be a FINROF.. .
