Supplementary U.K.

1152 Investment managers: disregard of certain chargeable profits U.K.

(1) This section applies if—

(a) an investment manager carries out one or more investment transactions on behalf of a non-UK resident company (whether or not the investment manager also carries out other transactions of any kind on behalf of the company), and

(b) the investment manager falls to be treated as a permanent establishment of the non-UK resident company (whether because the independent investment manager conditions are not met in relation to such investment transactions, or otherwise).

(2) In determining under Chapter 4 of Part 2 of CTA 2009 the amount of profits attributable to the permanent establishment represented by the investment manager acting as an agent on behalf of the non-UK resident company, chargeable profits deriving from an investment transaction carried out by the investment manager on behalf of the non-UK resident company are to be disregarded in either of the following two cases—

• Case 1

  The independent investment manager conditions are met in relation to the investment transaction.

• Case 2

  The independent investment manager conditions, other than Condition D in section 1146(6) (the 20% rule), are met in relation to the investment transaction.

(3) But if Case 2 applies in relation to the investment transaction, chargeable profits deriving from the transaction are to be disregarded only to the extent that they do not represent relevant disregarded income of the non-UK resident company to which the investment manager or a person connected with the investment manager has or has had any beneficial entitlement.

(4) In subsection (3) “relevant disregarded income” and “beneficial entitlement” have the meanings given in section 1148.

1153 Miscellaneous U.K.

(1) For the purposes of this Chapter a person is regarded as carrying out a transaction on behalf of another if the person—

(a) undertakes the transaction, whether on behalf of or to the account of the other, or

(2) In the case of a person who acts as a broker or investment manager as part only of a business, this Chapter has effect as if that part were a separate business.
