(1)For the purposes of this Chapter, carried interest “arises” to an individual (“A”) if, and only if, it arises to him or her for the purposes of Chapter 5E of Part 13 of ITA 2007.
(2)But section 809EZDB of ITA 2007 (sums arising to connected company or unconnected person) does not apply in relation to a sum of carried interest arising to—
(a)a company connected with A, or
(b)a person not connected with A,
where the sum is deferred carried interest in relation to A.
(3)In this section, “deferred carried interest”, in relation to A—
(a)means a sum of carried interest where the provision of the sum to A or a person connected with A is deferred (whether pending the meeting of any conditions (including conditions which may never be met) or otherwise), and
(b)includes A's share (as determined on a just and reasonable basis) of any carried interest the provision of which to A and one or more other persons, taken together, has been deferred (whether pending the meeting of any conditions (including conditions which may never be met) or otherwise).
In this subsection, in a case where the sum referred to in subsection (2) arises to a company connected with A, the reference to a person connected with A does not include that company.
(4)Where—
(a)section 809EZDB of ITA 2007 has been disapplied in relation to a sum of deferred carried interest by virtue of subsection (2),
(b)the sum ceases to be deferred carried interest in relation to A, and
(c)the sum does not in any event arise to A apart from this subsection,
the sum is to be regarded as arising to A at the time it ceases to be deferred carried interest.
(5)But subsection (4) does not apply if—
(a)none of the enjoyment conditions is met in relation to the sum when it ceases to be deferred carried interest, and
(b)there is no reasonable likelihood that any of those conditions will ever be met in relation to the sum.
(6)The enjoyment conditions are—
(a)the sum, or part of the sum, is in fact so dealt with by any person as to be calculated at some time to enure for the benefit of A or a person connected with A;
(b)the sum's ceasing to be deferred carried interest in relation to A operates to increase the value to A or a person connected with A of any assets which—
(i)A or the connected person holds, or
(ii)are held for the benefit of A or the connected person;
(c)A or a person connected with A receives or is entitled to receive at any time any benefit provided or to be provided out of the sum or part of the sum;
(d)A or a person connected with A may become entitled to the beneficial enjoyment of the sum or part of the sum if one or more powers are exercised or successively exercised (and for these purposes it does not matter who may exercise the powers or whether they are exercisable with or without the consent of another person);
(e)A or a person connected with A is able in any manner to control directly or indirectly the application of the sum or part of the sum.
In this subsection, in a case where the sum referred to in subsection (2) arises to a company connected with A, references to a person connected with A do not include that company.
(7)In determining whether any of the enjoyment conditions is met in relation to a sum or part of a sum—
(a)regard must be had to the substantial result and effect of all the relevant circumstances, and
(b)all benefits which may at any time accrue to a person as a result of the sum ceasing to be deferred carried interest in relation to A must be taken into account, irrespective of—
(i)the nature or form of the benefits, or
(ii)whether the person has legal or equitable rights in respect of the benefits.
(8)The enjoyment condition in subsection (6)(b), (c) or (d) is to be treated as not met if it would be met only by reason of A holding shares or an interest in shares in a company.
(9)The enjoyment condition in subsection (6)(a) or (e) is to be treated as not met if the sum referred to in subsection (2) arises to a company connected with A and—
(a)the company is liable to pay corporation tax in respect of its profits and the sum is included in the computation of those profits, or
(b)paragraph (a) does not apply but—
(i)the company is a CFC and the exemption in Chapter 14 of Part 9A of TIOPA 2010 applies for the accounting period in which the sum arises, or
(ii)the company is not a CFC but, if it were, that exemption would apply for that period.
In this subsection “CFC” has the same meaning as in Part 9A of TIOPA 2010.
(10)But subsections (8) and (9) do not apply if the sum referred to in subsection (2) arises to the company referred to in subsection (2)(a) or the person referred to in subsection (2)(b) as part of arrangements where—
(a)it is reasonable to assume that in the absence of the arrangements the sum or part of the sum would have arisen to A or an individual connected with A, and
(b)it is reasonable to assume that the arrangements have as their main purpose, or one of their main purposes, the avoidance of a liability to pay income tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax or corporation tax.
(11)The condition in subsection (10)(b) is to be regarded as met in a case where the sum is applied directly or indirectly as an investment in a collective investment scheme.
(12)Subsection (2) does not apply in relation to any sum in relation to which the condition in subsection (8)(b) of section 809EZDB is met by virtue of subsection (9) of that section.
(13)Subsection (2) also does not apply if—
(a)it is reasonable to assume that the deferral referred to in subsection (3)(a) or (b) is not the effect of genuine commercial arrangements, or
(b)that deferral is the effect of such arrangements but it is reasonable to assume that the arrangements have as their main purpose, or one of their main purposes, the avoidance of a liability to pay income tax, capital gains tax, corporation tax or inheritance tax.
(14)In subsection (13), “genuine commercial arrangements” means arrangements involving A (alone or jointly with others performing investment management services) and external investors in the investment scheme.
(15)Section 993 of ITA 2007 (meaning of “connected”) applies for the purposes of this section but as if—
(a)subsection (4) of that section were omitted, and
(b)partners in a partnership in which A is also a partner were not “associates” of A for the purposes of sections 450 and 451 of CTA 2010 (“control”).]
