Capital Gains Tax in Investment Trusts/OEICs?

Hello,

I've just read that within Unit Trusts there are no CGT :D (you generate CGT when you sell units) :mad:. How this works with Investment Trusts and OEIC? -Any CGT within the fund there? :cry:

THX,

THE NOX

    CGT is a tax levied when you realise the gain i.e. when you sell them ... UTs, ITs OEICs (unless protected within an ISA)

    Yes, but I'm asking about CGT within funds payed by fund itself? I know that Unit Trusts don't pay this but what about Investment Funds and OEICs?

    No there is no CGT within Collective Investment Trusts

    Capital Gain Tax is liable when there is a chargable Gain

    The situation is different in the U.S.A. when some Gains made within Mutual Funds become chargeable gains for individuals depending on the Tax situation of the holder
