Investment manager's exemption: carbon trading
Regulations have been
made by the Treasury to extend the types of business that UK investment
managers can undertake on behalf of non-residents without bringing the
latter into the UK tax net, to include trading in carbon emission credits
(legal entitlements to emit carbon) and similar instruments. Therefore,
these provisions will allow offshore hedge funds to invest in carbon
emissions credits through a UK investment manager. The new Regulations will
be laid before Parliament on 22 March 2007 and it is expected that they will
have effect on or after 21 days when the Regulations are laid. Until now, it
has not been possible for carbon emission credits to qualify for the
exemption, which has until now only applied to 'investment transactions'
(although transactions in derivatives based on them, such as futures and
options, may have been able to qualify). Although measured in tonnes of
carbon, they will be distinguished from physical commodities, which remain
excluded from the exemption.
