The list of applicable transactions (the ‘investment transactions list�) is contained in the Investment Transactions (Tax) Regulations 2014 � regulation 80, see IFM12557.

Tax-transparent Funds

The ‘investment transactions list� does not apply to tax-transparent funds as the income of such funds arises directly to their investors (regulation 49(3)).
