1 CB(1)504/12-13(01) Briefing for Bills Committee Inland Revenue and Stamp Duty Legislation (Alternative Bond Schemes) (Amendment) Bill
2 Why developing Islamic finance? Among the fastest growing segments in international financial system Help diversify products and services available to HK s financial markets HK s role as a leading IFC and asset management centre: matching the needs of fund raisers and investment demand for Islamic finance products from China, Middle East and other regions 2
3 Characteristics of sukuk Sukuk : financial instruments economically equivalent to conventional bonds but structured to conform with the principles of Islamic law ( Shariah ) The Shariah prohibition on interest means that the creation of a purely debt based saleable security is not possible A typical structure of sukuk (with special purpose vehicles and multiple asset transfer) may attract additional profits or property tax exposures, or stamp duty charges under HK tax laws 3
4 Objective of the Bill To amend the Inland Revenue Ordinance (IRO) and the Stamp Duty Ordinance (SDO) to provide a comparable taxation framework for sukuk vis-à-vis conventional bonds, thereby removing an impediment perceived by market to developing a sukuk market in HK Not conferring special tax favours simply ensuring financial instruments of similar economic substance are afforded similar tax treatments 4
5 Approach of the Bill Prescriptive Religion-neutral No specific references to Shariah terminologies Empower Financial Secretary to include additional types of sukuk and amend existing features by subsidiary legislation 5
6 Features of the Alternative Bond Scheme IRO: Schedule 17A, Sections 2-4 SDO: Section 47C Alternative Bond Scheme (ABS) = Bond Arrangement (BA) Investment Arrangement (IA) Features of BA and IA IRO: Schedule 17A, Sections 5-11 SDO: Section 47C Types of specified investment arrangements Lease (Ijarah) Purchase and Sale (Murabahah) Profits Sharing (Musharakah and Mudarabah) Agency (Wakalah) Alternative Bond Scheme Originator Bond-issuer Bond-holders General features Specific features (depending on the underlying structure) Specified Specified Alternative Bond Scheme Essential features 6
7 Example: Lease arrangement (Ijarah sukuk) Bond Arrangement Alternative Bond Scheme Investment Arrangement Seller acquisition cost (=bond proceeds) asset Bond-holders bond proceeds Bond-issuer Originator alternative bonds lease asset redeem alternative bonds Bond-holders Bond-issuer asset Originator coupon payments redemption payment investment return proceeds of disposal At the start of ABS term By the end of ABS term 7
8 We need to ensure A prospective ABS is economically equivalent to a typical conventional bond structure, hence its eligibility for the proposed tax treatment under HK laws Reasonable safeguards to minimise tax avoidance Encourage the sukuk benefiting from the taxation treatment would have a nexus with HK, hence directly promoting HK s financial market development 8
9 IRO: Schedule 17A, Sections SDO: Section 47D Qualified BA Reasonable commercial return BA as financial liability Hong Kong connection Maximum term length Arrangements performed according to terms Qualified duty relief applicable to a qualified investment arrangement Specified Alternative Bond Scheme Qualified duty treatment applicable to a qualified bond arrangement Qualified IA BI as conduit IA as financial liability a previously qualified investment a previously qualified bond 9
10 Tax treatments IRO: Schedule 17A, Section 20 SDO: Section 47E Qualified BA Qualified BA regarded as a debt arrangement (IRO) Bond proceeds regarded as money borrowed by bond-issuer from bondholders (IRO) Coupon payments regarded as interest payable on money borrowed (deductible) (IRO) Tax concession and exemption for qualifying debt instruments (IRO) Tax exemption for certain profits on nonresidents applicable to bond transactions (IRO) Exemption of stamp duty for certain bond transfer (SDO) Qualified duty relief applicable to a qualified investment arrangement a previously qualified investment Specified Alternative Bond Scheme Qualified duty treatment applicable to a qualified bond arrangement a previously qualified bond 10
11 Tax treatments IRO: Schedule 17A, Section 21 SDO: Sections 47F&47G Qualified IA Qualified IA regarded as a debt arrangement (IRO) Certain asset transactions among bondissuer, originator and their business undertaking disregarded for profits tax purposes (IRO) Stamp duty not chargeable on instruments relating to certain asset transactions; transactions disregarded in the specified period for determining special stamp duty liability (SDO) Related rental transactions disregarded for property tax purposes (IRO) Qualified duty relief applicable to a qualified investment arrangement a previously qualified investment Specified Alternative Bond Scheme Qualified duty treatment applicable to a qualified bond arrangement a previously qualified bond 11
12 a qualified BA IRO: Schedule 17A, Sections 12(3)&23 SDO: Section 47E a qualified BA IRO Consequence: never having been a qualified BA Special tax treatment withdrawn retrospectively SDO Consequence: special tax treatment ceases to apply Qualified duty relief applicable to a qualified investment arrangement a previously qualified investment Specified Alternative Bond Scheme Qualified duty treatment applicable to a qualified bond arrangement a previously qualified bond 12
13 a qualified IA IRO: Schedule 17A, Sections 12(4)&23 SDO: Section 47H a qualified IA IRO Consequence: never having been a qualified IA Special tax treatment withdrawn retrospectively Qualified Specified Alternative Bond Scheme Qualified SDO Consequence: relief deemed to be withdrawn Stamp duty chargeable to be paid within 30 days after the earliest IA disqualifying event duty relief applicable to a qualified investment arrangement a previously qualified investment duty treatment applicable to a qualified bond arrangement a previously qualified bond 13
