Section 488: Meaning of “open-ended investment company” etc

1358.This section gives the definition of “open-ended investment company”. It is based on paragraph 8(7A), (7B) and (7D) of Schedule 10 to FA 1996 and regulation 95(2) of the Authorised Investment Funds (Tax) Regulations 2006.

1359.The definition is by reference to sections 468A(2) to (4) of ICTA because the definition in section 468A(2), read with section 468A(3) and (4), is in substance the same as that in paragraph 8(7A)(b), read with paragraph 8(7B) and (7D) of Schedule 10 to FA 1996 and any differences are negligible.
