4.5 Disposal of Holding in Offshore Fund

This section is also used for income received from non-resident trusts and income received by trusts or companies abroad.  An offshore fund is a non-resident company or a foreign unit trust or other arrangement where the trust or estate holds a material interest. Do not enter detail of income arising from the offshore fund, that should be entered as foreign dividends or foreign interest. This section is for the income received on disposal. However, if the fund has been granted distributor status the gain on disposal will usually be subject to capital gains tax and be entered as a gain rather than income. Any unindexed gain on disposal should be entered as deemed income.

Description

The first line must be entered.

Dates

Not compulsory. If entered, the date of acquisition must be before the end of the tax year and the date of sale must be after the start of the tax year and after the date of acquisition.

Amount

Enter the income.

Trust is an offshore Trust

This box should only be selected if the Trust is an Offshore Trust and the disposal is not liable to income tax.

Selecting this box will prevent the income entered from being included on the Return or in the calculation, but it will still be shown in completion of Form 50(FS)

 

 

Income received from non-resident trusts and income received by trusts or companies abroad

Where the trustees have an absolute entitlement to income from a non-UK resident trust, enter any foreign source income in this section. (UK source income should be entered as if it were normal UK income.) Any discretionary payments from non-UK resident trusts should also be entered here.
