| | United Kingdom: Corporation Tax Regime Changes Finalized - Deloitte Statsautoriseret Revisionsaktieselskab |
 | | The existing separate tax regime for foreign exchange gains and losses of companies is to be ended, and exchange gains and losses are to be taxed in accordance with the provisions relating to corporate debt and derivative contracts. |
 | | The existing corporate tax regime for financial instruments, which applies primarily to currency and interest rate contracts, would be extended to cover all types of derivative contracts, including options, warrants, forwards, futures and contracts for differences. |
 | | With respect to shares, unit trust schemes and corporate debt representing specified convertibles, exchangeables and asset-linked securities, the contracts would come within the derivative contracts regime if they are either dealt in as part of a trade or derivatives that form part of a scheme to produce either an interest like or guaranteed return. |
