EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Section 150 of the Finance Act 2003 (c. 14) imposes obligations in relation to corporation tax on the UK representative of a non-resident company. Section 148 of that Act explains the concept of permanent establishment for the purposes of the Tax Acts. Paragraph 3 of Schedule 26 sets out circumstances in which an investment manager is not to be regarded as a UK representative but as an independent agent.
These Regulations designate some financial swap contracts as investment transactions for the purposes of paragraph 3 of Schedule 26. The effect is to extend the scope for regarding investment managers as independent agents for the purposes of paragraph 3 of Schedule 26.
Regulation 1 provides for the citation and commencement of the Regulations.
Regulation 2 designates some swap contracts for the purposes of paragraph 3 of Schedule 26.
