Article summary

The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) has published its response to HMRC’s consultation on its intention to expand the investment transactions list used by the investment manager exemption to provide tax certainty to UK investment managers seeking to include types of crypto-assets within their investors’ portfolios. Regarding the proposed definition of crypto-assets, STEP seeks clarity on non-fungible tokens; supports references to ‘similar technology’ to accommodate variations on traditional crypto-assets and, the inclusion of ‘interests in crypto-assets’.
