Commentary on Sections Glossary Structure of Part 2 Section 18: Management of investment companies
139.This section is based on section 28 of CAA 1990. It defines the qualifying activity of “management of an investment company”.
140.Subsection (1) applies the definition of an investment company in ICTA. An investment company may carry on a trade or other qualifying activity. But subsection (2) provides that it is only a limited range of activities which are the “management of an investment company”. These are activities expenditure on which would fall within “expenses of management” in section 75 of ICTA. This defines the qualifying activity for capital allowances in line with the treatment of expenses.
141.Section 28(1) of CAA 1990 refers to “the management of the business of an investment company”. This has been shortened in this section and section 15(1)(g) to “management of an investment company”. This does not change the effect of the legislation. See Note 8 in Annex 2.
