UK Reporting Fund Status

Background to UK Reporting Fund Status

The UK Offshore Funds Regulations came into effect on 1 December 2009 and provide that if an investor resident or ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom for taxation purposes holds an interest in an offshore fund and that offshore fund is a 'non-reporting fund', any gain accruing to that investor upon the sale or other disposal of that interest will be charged to United Kingdom tax as income rather than a capital gain. Alternatively, where an investor resident or ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom holds an interest in an offshore fund that has been a 'reporting fund' for all periods of account for which they hold their interest, any gain accruing upon sale or other disposal of the interest will be subject to tax as a capital gain rather than income.

A class must apply to HM Revenue & Customs ("HMRC") to become a reporting fund and once in the regime remains a reporting fund permanently so long as the annual duties are met. Reporting funds have an annual requirement to calculate and report to UK investors and HMRC the reportable income per share and distributions made for each share class. Provided the Fund complies with this annual reporting requirement, any gain accruing upon sale or other disposal of the interest by each UK shareholder will be subject to tax as a capital gain rather than income.

A shareholding in the relevant share class of the Fund constitutes an interest in an offshore fund from a United Kingdom ("UK") taxation perspective. Each Share Class is treated as a separate 'offshore fund' for these purposes.

What does this mean for investors?

Investors will be required to include on their tax return any distributions received during the year and their proportionate share of reportable income in excess of any distributions made in relation to the profits of the accounting period.

The deemed distribution date for excess reportable income over any cash distributions received is 6 months after the end of the accounting period.
