The taxation of offshore investment income is the subject of an increasing focus of legislative activity throughout the world. The reason is that offshore investment gives rise to problems of residence and of source, caused in particular by the interposition of non-natural persons between income and the natural person who enjoys the economic benefit of that income. For similar reasons, there are issues of deferral and of coverting income into capital. In short, there is a large gap, sometimes called an “ectopia”, between income as an economic benefit to an investor and that same income as defined by law. Legally speaking, the income often stays in the hands of a foreign company while the substantive economic benefit of the income rebounds to the benefit of natural persons. A foreign investment fund regime targets income of organizations that are based in another jurisdiction and that offer pooled investment opportunities. The country of residence of investors requires the investors to add a sum to their income to represent their accruing shares of the profits of the foreign fund.
