I posted the below in the tax forum a couple of days ago, but received no responses. I’m trying to ascertain if there is a CGT liability when converting and can’t seem to get a definitive answer from other sources (inc an accountant). I’d be interested to hear if anyone else has been down this road?
F&C Managed Portfolio Investment Trust consists of two pools of assets - Growth and Income. Shareholders in either of the two pools are able to convert some or all of their shares into the other pool on an annual basis by notifying F&C.
It is not a spilt capital trust. UK residents are not liable for HMRC CGT after converting (lucky them).
Each one has a unique ISIN:
GB00B2PP3J36 (Income shares)
GB00B2PP2527 (Growth shares)
As you would expect, the ‘Growth’ shares don’t pay dividends, the ‘Income’ shares do.
As a resident in Ireland, say I held a number of ‘Growth’ shares for many years, and decided to convert these shares to ‘Income’.
Is CGT payable?
