9 Income taxes
The income tax charge represents UK corporation tax at a standard rate of 30
percent chargeable on the profits arising in ACP Capital (UK) Limited, the
controlling partner of the Group's adviser, ACP Capital UK LLP.
The Company and a number of the subsidiaries are registered in Jersey as exempt
companies and are, therefore, not liable to Jersey income tax on profits derived
outside Jersey. Confirmation has been obtained from the Comptroller of Income
Tax in Jersey that, by concession, the companies will be liable to tax in Jersey
only in respect of income, other than bank interest income, arising in Jersey.
During the year no income, other than bank interest income, arose in Jersey.
With effect from the 2009 year of assessment Jersey abolished the exempt company
regime for existing companies. Profits arising in the Group for the 2009 year of
assessment and future periods will be subject to tax at the rate of 0%. In the
prior year the Group was exempt from taxation under the provisions of Article
123A of the Income Tax (Jersey) Law 1961 as amended.
