Detail of outcome

We received 21 written responses, mainly from advisory firms, representative bodies and businesses affected by the rules.

The government is proposing several changes and clarifications to make the rules more proportionate and to ensure that they apply as intended. We are also proposing a new rule about dual inclusion income to minimise double taxation in certain circumstances.

We have also published draft legislation, an explanatory note and a tax information and impact note (TIIN).

Consultation description

This consultation was published on 19 March and was due to close on 29 May. We are grateful for the responses we have already received. The government recognises that many sectors with an interest in this policy are affected by COVID-19. We want to give all stakeholders time to submit their views, so we have extended the consultation. The closing date is now 29 August 2020 (11.45pm). However, we encourage early responses from stakeholders, where possible, to support our ongoing consideration of this policy.

The consultation considers the application of the hybrid and other mismatches legislation regarding:

• double deduction rules in chapters 9 and 10, along with the application of section 259ID income
• acting together definition in chapter 14
• application in respect of exempt investors in hybrid entities

• current legislation at Part 6A Tax (International Provisions and Other) Act 2010
