Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988

6(1)In any case where—

(a)in an account period of an offshore fund (in this Part of this Schedule referred to as the “primary fund”), the assets of the fund consist of or include interests in another offshore fund; and

(b)those interests (together with other interests which the primary fund may have) are such that, by virtue of subsection (3)(a) or, if the other fund concerned is a company, subsection (3)(b) or (c) of section 760, the primary fund could not, apart from this paragraph, be certified as a distributing fund in respect of that account period; and

(c)without regard to the provisions of this paragraph, that other fund could be certified as a distributing fund in respect of its account period or, as the case may be, each of its account periods which comprises the whole or any part of the account period of the primary fund;

then, in determining whether anything in section 760(3)(a) to (c) prevents the primary fund being certified as mentioned in paragraph (b) above, the interests of the primary fund in that other fund shall be left out of account except for the purposes of determining the total value of the assets of the primary fund.

(2)In this Part of this Schedule an offshore fund falling within sub-paragraph (1)(c) above is referred to as a “qualifying fund”.

(3)In a case falling within sub-paragraph (1) above—

(a)section 760(3)(a) to (c) shall have effect in relation to the primary fund with the modification in paragraph 7 below (in addition to that provided for by sub-paragraph (1) above); and

(b)Part I of this Schedule shall have effect in relation to the primary fund with the modification in paragraph 8 below.
