Gross nominee - enables clients/corporates , where permissible, to hold and trade investments via the gross nominee and receive fixed interest distributions/interest payments on cash holdings free of tax without any further form filling.
Product wrappers available with a gross nominee structure are SIPP, Offshore Bond and gross GIA (for appropriate trusts/corporates).
Often other offshore bond /SIPP providers have lengthy processes to reclaim tax (or no process at all and the tax is lost). Please see the attached factsheet for more information when transferring SIPP assets.
Net nominee – provides the structure where tax is deducted at basic rate in the usual way from cash holdings. The net nominee is the structure used for the net GIA.
Please note – income from equity derived sources is taxed at source (withholding tax) within both gross and net nominee structures.
ISA nominee – Novia ISAs operate within a separate ISA nominee structure. Monies within a cash ISA are held on deposit and receive interest gross of tax.
Any interest distributions on assets held within a stock and shares ISA will be paid net and any tax repaid to the client automatically after being reclaimed by Novia.
Monies held within the Cash Facility of a stocks and shares ISA (ie pending investment) will receive interest net of tax which cannot be reclaimed.
