An ACS co-ownership (CoACS) is based on a contractual agreement between the operator, the depositary and the investor. The definition of each system can be found in section 235A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Each investor in an SCA is responsible for all taxes incurred on their own share of income at their own tax rates, as if they directly owned the underlying assets of the system. CA CoACS is not transparent for the purposes of eligible benefits. Investors who submit to UK income tax are taxable on their share of income as soon as it occurs. See IFM08500. The rules that apply to authorized contractual co-ownership regimes (CoACS) are contained in Part 3 of the Authorized Contractual (Tax) Condominium Regimes Regulations 2017 (SI 2017/1209).

A reporting offshore fund is a fund in which the fund has adhered to a special regime managed by HMRC, which requires the fund to provide investors annually with details of their share of the fund`s income, whether distributed or not, and a report on how those returns were calculated to HMRC. Investors in a reporting fund are taxable on all income distributions received and their share of excess income for a given accounting period.
A non-reportable fund is an offshore fund that is not a reporting fund. For more information, see IFM08360.
