35(1)Part 6A of TIOPA 2010 is amended as follows.U.K.
(2)In section 259A (overview of Part), after subsection (17) insert—
“(17A)Chapter 13A makes provision about the application of Chapters 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 11 in cases involving transparent funds (within the meaning of that Chapter).”
(3)After Chapter 13 insert—
(1)In this Chapter “transparent fund” means a collective investment scheme, or an AIF (that is not a collective investment scheme), if—
(a)were all of the profits or income of the fund to arise from sources inside the United Kingdom and
(b)were all of its participants within the charge to income tax,
its profits or income would be profits or income of its participants for the purposes of that tax.
(2)In this section—
“AIF” has the meaning given by regulation 3 of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/1773);
“collective investment scheme” has the meaning given by section 235 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000;
“participant”, in relation to a transparent fund, means a person who—
takes part in the arrangements constituting the fund, whether by becoming the owner of, or of any part of, the property that is the subject of the arrangements or otherwise, and
does not have day-to-day control over the management of the property, whether or not they have the right to be consulted or to give directions.
(1)This section applies where—
(a)Chapter 3, 4, 5 or 7 applies in respect of a payment or quasi-payment,
(b)the relevant structured arrangement condition is not met, and
(c)it is reasonable to suppose that a proportion of the payment or quasi-payment is attributable to a person as a result of that person's interest (direct or indirect) in a transparent fund that is the primary fund in relation to that person.
(2)For the purposes of this section, a proportion of a payment or quasi-payment is attributable to a person if, as a result of that payment or quasi-payment—
(a)ordinary income arises to that person, or
(b)would arise if the person were resident for tax purposes in the United Kingdom.
(3)The primary fund in relation to a person is—
(a)where the income arises or would arise because of an indirect interest the person has in a transparent fund as a result of another transparent fund, or a series of transparent funds, having an interest in that first fund, that first fund, or
(b)where the income arises or would arise because of a direct or indirect interest the person has in a single transparent fund, that fund.
(4)The relevant structured arrangement condition is the condition—
(a)where Chapter 3 applies, in section 259CA(6)(c),
(b)where Chapter 4 applies, in section 259DA(6)(c),
(c)where Chapter 5 applies, in section 259EA(7)(c), and
(d)where Chapter 7 applies, in section 259GA(7)(c).
(5)The Chapter in question applies subject to subsection (6).
(6)If it is reasonable to suppose that the proportion of the payment or quasi-payment that is attributable to a person as a result of the person's interest in the primary fund is less than 10% of the relevant amount, that proportion is to be ignored for the purposes of determining the extent of a mismatch under the Chapter in question.
(7)For the purposes of subsection (6) “the relevant amount” means the amount of ordinary income that it would, on the relevant assumption, have been reasonable to expect to arise to the primary fund as a result of—
(a)in the case of a payment, the payment, or
(b)in the case of a quasi payment, the circumstances giving rise to the relevant deduction (see section 259BB(2)).
(8)The relevant assumption is that the primary fund were a person to whom ordinary income would arise as a result of that payment or those circumstances.
(9)Where a person to whom a proportion of the payment or quasi-payment is attributable as a result of the person's interest in the primary fund is connected (within the meaning given by section 1122 of CTA 2010, ignoring subsections (4) and (7) of that section) to another person to whom a proportion is attributable as a result of that person's interest in that same fund, the rights and interests of those persons are to be aggregated (and accordingly if the proportion attributable between them is 10% or more of the relevant amount, that proportion is not to be ignored).
(1)This section applies where—
(a)Chapter 9 applies in relation to a hybrid entity double deduction amount (see section 259IA(4)) in respect of an investor in a hybrid entity,
(b)the condition in section 259IA(6)(b) is not met, and
(c)that investor in the hybrid entity is an investor in it as a result of an interest (direct or indirect) it has in a transparent fund (“the relevant fund”) that directly holds an interest in—
(i)the hybrid entity, or
(ii)another entity that is not a transparent fund and which holds a direct or indirect interest in the hybrid entity.
(2)Chapter 9 applies subject to subsection (3).
(3)If it is reasonable to suppose that—
(a)some or all of the hybrid entity double deduction amount that relates to the investor arises as a result of the investor's interest in the relevant fund, and
(b)the amount that arises as a result of that interest (“the relevant amount”) is less than 10% of the potential double deduction amount,
the relevant amount is to be ignored for the purposes of determining the extent of a mismatch under that Chapter.
(4)In this section “potential double deduction amount” means the hybrid double deduction amount that would arise in relation to the relevant fund if it were an investor in the hybrid entity.
(5)Where the investor is connected (within the meaning given by section 1122 of CTA 2010, ignoring subsections (4) and (7) of that section) to another investor with an interest in the relevant fund, the rights and interests of those investors are to be aggregated (and accordingly, if the sum of the relevant amounts in respect of each of them is 10% or more of the potential double deduction amount, that proportion is not to be ignored).
(1)Subsection (2) applies where—
(a)Chapter 11 applies as a result of sub-paragraph (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of section 259KA(6)(a) applying as a result of a payment or quasi-payment to which section 259MB would apply if the Chapter corresponding to that sub-paragraph applied in relation to that payment or quasi-payment, and
(b)the condition in section 259KA(9)(c) is not met.
(2)Where this subsection applies, section 259MB(6) applies for the purposes of determining the extent of a relevant mismatch under Chapter 11.
(3)The Chapters corresponding to the sub-paragraphs of section 269KA(6)(a) mentioned in subsection (1) are as follows—
| Sub-paragraph (i) | Chapter 3 |
| Sub-paragraph (ii) | Chapter 4 |
| Sub-paragraph (iii) | Chapter 5 |
| Sub-paragraph (iv) | Chapter 7. |
(4)Subsection (5) applies where—
(a)Chapter 11 applies as a result of section 259KA(6)(a)(vi) applying as a result of a hybrid double deduction amount to which section 259MC would apply if Chapter 9 applied in relation to that amount, and
(b)the condition in section 259KA(9)(c) is not met.
(5)Where this subsection applies, section 259MC(3) applies for the purposes of determining the extent of a relevant mismatch under Chapter 11.”
