Automating capital gains tax analysisWhat is the Rapid Security Analyzer?The Rapid Security Analyzer (RSA) automates the process of analyzing your portfolios for capital gains liabilities at the financial instrument level. The RSA’s reports reflect the tax rate and associated rules, (including netting rules) as well as the tax considerations noted with the status of each security. Additional features include (1) a dashboard that provides a broad overview of the findings by country, region and red, amber or green (RAG) status and (2) a side-by-side comparison of taxation of different fund types and tax rates by date.

Pursuant to domestic law, capital gains on debt are treated as interest and, therefore, subject to 20% withholding tax.

Gain and loss netting/offset is permitted. In practice, interest income can be deducted from a loss arising from a sale transaction for the purpose of calculating the final income tax payable.

Pursuant to the Israel/Ireland treaty, capital gains from the alienation of portfolio investments are not taxable in Israel, except (1) where the investee company is land-rich, and (2) where the recipient has owned at least 10% of the capital at some time within the 12 months preceding the sale. If taxable, the rate is 26.5%. For treaty relief, consider treaty substance and procedural requirements.

Capital losses may be offset against capital gains. Furthermore, there is no requirement for the gains and losses to be from the same instrument type.

The Global Withholding Tax Reporter™ (GWTR) is an online tax reference tool that provides current and historical withholding tax information about portfolio dividends, interest, capital gains and mutual fund distributions in 96 markets of investment in 206 markets of investors (limited entity types).

Please visit www.globaltaxreporter.com.

The PFIC Analyzer quickly identifies PFICs to assist funds in managing tax liabilities. Since launching the service in 2003, the PFIC Analyzer team has analyzed more than 150,000 foreign issuers for PFIC status and the service has evolved to include extensive hands-on involvement, combined with the vast resources of EY member firms globally.

More details are available at www.pficanalyzer.com.

Mark-to-Market (MTM) is a service that can provide a fund with MTM book and tax adjustments at 31 October, the fund’s fiscal year-end and interim periods (if needed for monitoring income volatility). The PFIC MTM service includes Forms 8621 and respective attachments for filing with the tax return.

Automated PFIC mark-to-market service

OverviewStatutory guidance expressly allows mutual funds to mark all of their PFIC securities to market, whether held by the fund directly or indirectly. This election must be made in the initial year that the PFIC security was held by ling Form 8621 (Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Quali ed Electing Fund) with the original tax return for that year. “Late found” PFIC rules apply when the mark-to-market (MTM) election is made subsequent to the initial year of holding the PFIC stock.

PFIC MTM toolEY has developed an automated MTM tool that can provide a fund with MTM book/tax adjustments at 31 October and at the end of the fund’s scal year. The PFIC MTM Service will provide completed Forms 8621 and respective attachments to le with the tax return. Additionally, we can provide MTM exposure to the fund at various times during the year to help monitor the income volatility of PFIC holdings.

Our PFIC MTM team has deep experience in preparing and reviewing MTM calculations, including the impact of changes in PFIC status and corporate actions on the calculations.

Please contact the PFIC Analyzer Team for further information on the service and pricing.

Bene ts of the MTM Service • Cost-effective methodology —

streamlines the process of obtaining book/tax adjustments and tax return disclosures (Form 8621 and attachments) in an ef cient and timely manner

• Signi cant tax savings —compared to preparing MTM calculations manually in-house

• Ef cient monitoring — able to quantify impact of PFIC holdings at a given time for income projections and distribution planning
