Investing in certain investment products and/or receiving financial services may have adverse tax implications depending upon a client's personal circumstances. The effect of a particular product or service on the client's overall tax situation may be difficult to assess. UBS is unable to give any guarantee or assurance regarding the potential tax implications of any investment product or service made available to its clients and accordingly shall not assume any responsibility or liability for any adverse tax implications whatsoever as a consequence of any such product or service. UBS recommends that clients consult with qualified tax advisors to assess the effect of particular products and services on their personal tax situation.
Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - The Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) includes rules (the “Offshore Investment Rules”) that may require an amount to be included in the income of an investor that holds an “offshore investment fund property”. The Offshore Investment Rules may apply where (i) an offshore investment fund property derives its value primarily from “portfolio investments” in certain assets, and (ii) one of the main reasons for the investment is to derive a benefit from portfolio investments in these assets in such a manner that taxes on the income, profits and gains from the assets are significantly less than the tax applicable under the Tax Act if such income, profits and gains had been earned directly by the investor. The income inclusion each year is generally equal to a prescribed rate multiplied by the “designated cost“ of the property to the investor, reduced by income (other than capital gains) from the offshore investment fund property determined under the other provisions of the Tax Act and included in the investor’s income for the year. Accordingly, if the Offshore Investment Rules apply to an investor, the investor may be required to include in taxable income amounts that the investor has not earned or received.
The Tax Act contains rules for the taxation of income of non-resident trusts (the "NRT Rules"). These rules will not apply in respect of “exempt foreign trusts” (as defined in the Tax Act). Subject to detailed provisions, exempt foreign trusts would generally include commercial trusts. Where, however, a non-resident trust is an exempt foreign trust because it is a commercial trust, an investor (x) that holds, either alone or together with (i) any persons not dealing at arm’s length with the investor or (ii) any persons who acquired their interest in the trust in exchange for consideration given to the trust by the investor, at least a 10% interest (as defined and determined based on fair market value) in such trust, or (y) that has contributed “restricted property” (as defined in the Tax Act) to such trust, will be required to include in income a percentage of that trust’s “foreign accrual property income” (as defined in the Tax Act, the "FAPI Rules"). Other investors in a commercial trust may be subject to the Offshore Investment Rules discussed above.
The foregoing summary provides a general description of the Offshore Investment Rules and the FAPI Rules, and should not be construed as advice to any particular investor regarding the implications of such rules in the investor’s particular circumstances.
If the total “equity percentage” (as defined in the Tax Act) of a Canadian investor (and related persons) is 10% or more in a particular corporation, the investor may be subject to the rules in the Tax Act which require the inclusion of a percentage of the foreign accrual property income of the corporation in computing the income of the investor, rather than the application of the Offshore Investment Rules.
Investors should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.
