Recent experience shows that now is the correct time to put the taxation position of UK securitization companies beyond doubt, while addressing the concerns of the industry that the UK market should remain competitive, argues Martin Shah of Simmons & Simmons

How the new EU has dealt with the tax challenges

Martin Shah, associate in corporate tax at Simmons & Simmons, the law firm, said: "This is clearly a relief for UK managers of non-UK open-ended investment companies and shows that Customs are prepared to listen to taxpayers, particularly when any change would have a potentially significant effect on the UK and its competitiveness as a financial centre."

However, the next step for the representatives of the industry, as Mr. Shah pointed out, must be to ensure the legislation is amended to reflect HMCE practices in that it is never advisable in the long term to rely on a concession.

The Simmons & Simmons team was led by corporate partners Alan Karter and Gavin Weir, assisted by Isabella Roberts and Stuart Hatcher, associates - corporate, Liz Farrington, associate - employment and Martin Shah, associate - tax.
