Guidance Note on VAT Exemption for Collective Investment Schemes in the Isle of Man
The Isle of Man Financial Services Authority issued this guidance note to clarify that managers of authorized and international collective investment schemes under the Collective Investment Schemes Act 2008 are exempt from charging VAT on management fees. The document explicitly states that this exemption does not apply to exempt schemes under Schedule 3 of the Act, which remain required to charge VAT. Although the guidance is not legally binding law, it serves as persuasive evidence of compliance with legislative provisions for licensees.
Guidance Note – Indirect Taxes
January 2017
VAT Exemption
The managers of authorised schemes under Schedule 1 to the Collective Investment Schemes Act 2008 (the “Act”) and international collective investment schemes under
Schedule 2 to the Act in the Isle of Man are exempted from the requirement to charge VAT
on management fees.
For the avoidance of doubt, exempt schemes under Schedule 3 to the Act are not exempted from the requirement to charge VAT on management fees. Status of Guidance: The Isle of Man Financial Services Authority issues guidance for various purposes, including to illustrate best practice, to assist licenceholders to comply with legislation and to provide examples or illustrations. Guidance is, by its nature, not law, however it is persuasive. Where a person follows guidance this would tend to indicate compliance with the legislative provisions, and vice versa.
