CA39700 - IBA: miscellaneous: enterprise zone property unit trusts

An enterprise zone property unit trust is a collective investment scheme that lets investors buy an interest in land or buildings in an enterprise zone.

Where the enterprise zone property unit trust invests in an industrial building it is the individual investors rather than the scheme itself who are entitled to the IBA. Similarly, it is the individual investors who are responsible for any balancing charge that may arise.
