The independent investment manager conditionsU.K.

818The independent investment manager conditionsU.K.

(1)The independent investment manager conditions are met in relation to an investment transaction carried out on behalf of a non-UK resident by an investment manager in the United Kingdom if—

(a)conditions A to F are met, if this section applies for the purposes of section 813, or

(b)conditions A to E and G are met, if this section applies for the purposes of section 816.

(2)Condition A is that at the time of the transaction the investment manager is carrying on a business of providing investment management services.

(3)Condition B is that the transaction is carried out in the ordinary course of that business.

(4)Condition C is that, when the investment manager acts on behalf of the non-UK resident in relation to the transaction, the relationship between them, having regard to its legal, financial and commercial characteristics, is a relationship between persons carrying on independent businesses dealing with each other at arm's length.

(5)Condition D is that the requirements of the 20% rule are met (see section 819).

(6)Condition E is that the remuneration which the investment manager receives in respect of the transaction for the provision of investment management services to the non-UK resident is not less than is customary for that class of business.

(7)Condition F is that the investment manager does not fall for the purposes of section 126 of, and Schedule 23 to, FA 1995 to be treated as a UK representative of the non-UK resident in relation to any other income which is chargeable to income tax, or amounts which are chargeable to capital gains tax, for the same tax year as the transaction income.

(8)Condition G is that the investment manager does not fall to be treated as a permanent establishment of the non-UK resident company in relation to any other transaction of any kind carried out in the same accounting period of the non-UK resident company as the transaction in question.

819Investment managers: the 20% ruleU.K.

(1)The requirements of the 20% rule are met if conditions A and B are met.

(2)Condition A is that in relation to a qualifying period it has been or is the intention of the investment manager and the persons connected with the investment manager that at least 80% of the non-UK resident's relevant disregarded income should consist of amounts to which none of them has a beneficial entitlement.

(3)Condition B is that, so far as there is a failure to fulfil that intention, that failure—

(a)is attributable (directly or indirectly) to matters outside the control of the investment manager and persons connected with the investment manager, and

(b)does not result from a failure by any of them to take such steps as may be reasonable for mitigating the effect of those matters in relation to the fulfilment of that intention.

(4)This section needs to be read with—

  • section 820 (meaning of “qualifying period”),

  • section 821 (meaning of “relevant disregarded income”), and

821Meaning of “relevant disregarded income”U.K.

(1)This section applies for the purposes of this Chapter.

(2)If section 819 applies for the purposes of section 813, the “relevant disregarded income” of the non-UK resident for the qualifying period is the total of the non-UK resident's income for the tax years comprised in the qualifying period which derives from the transactions mentioned in subsection (4).

(3)If section 819 applies for the purposes of section 816, the “relevant disregarded income” of the non-UK resident company for the qualifying period is the total of the non-UK resident company's income for the accounting periods comprised in the qualifying period which derives from the transactions mentioned in subsection (4).

(4)The transactions referred to in subsections (2) and (3) are investment transactions—

(a)carried out by the investment manager on the non-UK resident's behalf, and

(b)in relation to which the independent investment manager conditions are met, ignoring the requirements of the 20% rule.

822Meaning of “beneficial entitlement”U.K.

(1)This section applies for the purposes of this Chapter.

(a)an interest (whether or not an interest giving a right to an immediate payment of a share in the profits or gains) in property in which the whole or any part of the relevant disregarded income is represented, or

823Treatment of transactions where requirements of 20% rule not metU.K.

(1)This section applies in the case of an investment transaction in relation to which the independent investment manager conditions are met, except for the requirements of the 20% rule.

(2)This Chapter has effect as if the requirements of that rule were met in relation to the transaction but only in relation to—

(a)so much of the transaction income of the non-UK resident as falls within subsection (3), if this section applies for the purposes of section 813, or

(b)so much of the income of the non-UK resident company deriving from the transaction as falls within subsection (3), if this section applies for the purposes of section 816.

(3)Income falls within this subsection if it does not represent income—

(a)which is relevant disregarded income of the non-UK resident, and

(b)to which the investment manager or a person connected with the investment manager has or has had any beneficial entitlement.

824Application of 20% rule to collective investment schemesU.K.

(1)This section applies if amounts arise or accrue to the non-UK resident as a participant in a collective investment scheme.

(4)If the scheme is such that the assumed company would not be regarded for tax purposes as carrying on a trade in the United Kingdom in relation to the appropriate relevant period, the requirements of the 20% rule are treated as met in relation to a transaction carried out for the purposes of the scheme.

(5)If the scheme is such that the assumed company would be so regarded for tax purposes, sections 819 to 823 have effect in relation to a transaction carried out for the purposes of the scheme with the modifications in subsection (6).

(6)The modifications are—

(a)for references to the non-UK resident substitute references to the assumed company, and

(b)for references to the non-UK resident's relevant disregarded income for a qualifying period substitute references to the sum of the amounts that would, for relevant periods comprised in the qualifying period, be chargeable to tax on the assumed company as profits deriving from the transactions—

(i)carried out by the investment manager, and

(ii)assumed to be carried out on behalf of the company.

(7)In this section—
