Recognised stock exchanges
Find out what is meant by a 'recognised stock exchange' and the legislation that applies.
What is a ‘recognised stock exchange’
The term ‘recognised stock exchange’ occurs throughout the Taxes Acts and in various tax regulations. For example, it’s used in the definition of investments which may be held in Individual Savings Accounts and in the qualifying criteria for the quoted Eurobond exemption. Recognised stock exchange legislation is found under S1005 Income Tax Act (ITA) 2007.
HMRC will consider the designation of a stock exchange as a recognised stock exchange under S1005 ITA 2007 on receipt of a request made by a stock exchange. The fact that a particular exchange is not recognised may simply mean that recognition has not been requested.
