VCM90280 - CVS: general: qualifying issuing companies: qualifying trades

FA00/SCH15/PARA25

A trade is a qualifying trade if:

• it is conducted wholly or mainly in the UK,
• it is conducted on a commercial basis and with a view to profit,
• it does not consist, either completely or as to a substantial part (see VCM3010), of excluded activities,

For the meaning of ‘wholly or mainly in the UK’ see Statement of Practice SP3/00. The UK includes the territorial sea - that is, waters within 12 nautical miles of the coast - but does not include the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.

As regards excluded activities, see VCM3000 onwards.
