Offshore funds regime

The Finance Bill 2007 will introduce legislation affecting the detailed tax treatment of offshore funds. In particular, it is now beyond doubt that where a loss occurs on the disposal of units in a non distributor fund, this loss will not be available for offset against income, but will be classified as a capital loss for tax purposes.

There are also some minor technical changes to definitions and structures of offshore funds.
 

Our view
The announcement clarifies the position that losses arising on disposal of offshore funds with non distributor status are to be treated as capital losses.
