HM 23: Exceptions for foreign PIE equivalents

You could also call this:

“When a PIE immediately loses its status for not following certain rules”

You will immediately lose your PIE (Portfolio Investment Entity) status if you don’t meet certain rules. These rules are:

You must follow the rules about where you live, as set out in section HM 8.

You need to meet the requirements about what kind of entity you are, which are explained in section HM 9.

You have to follow the rules about rights to investment proceeds, which are described in section HM 17.

If you fail to meet any of these rules, you will lose your PIE status straight away.
