{#IDAKDIFE}

Other tax avoidance rules

Apart from the ‘unallowable purposes’ rule, the arm’s length rules and the regime-wide anti avoidance rule (CFM38010), there are a number of other rules, in the loan relationships legislation and elsewhere, intended to address avoidance schemes.

• The ‘disguised interest’ rules in CTA09/PT6/CH2A (CFM42000), which are a successor to the ‘shares as debt’ rules formerly in CT09/PT6/CH7 (CFM45000). Note that these rules take precedence over the arbitrage’ rules involving ‘hybrid securities F(No.2)A05/SCH3).
• The ‘transfers of income streams’ rules in FA09/SCH25 (CFM77000).
• ‘Late-paid’ interest (CFM35800).
• Company migration (CFM33250).
• ‘Structured finance arrangements’ or ‘factoring’ legislation (CFM73000).
• Index-linked gilt-edged securities (CFM39100)
• Derecognition schemes (CFM39200)
• Group mismatch schemes (CFM77500)
