Grand-fathering investments held before 6 April 2006

Any loan advanced before 6 April 2006 will not be subject to the new rules (apart from the rules on debts) unless there is a change in terms of the loan.

Under the rules that applied up to 6 April 2006 pension schemes were permitted to hold interests both directly and indirectly in taxable property, broadly some types of residential property and in some cases tangible movable property. The taxable property provisions introduced from 6 April 2006 will not apply, subject to some conditions, to any taxable assets that were legitimately held under the rules operating before 6 April 2006 and which are not improved. For further details see page RPSM07109700.

All other assets will be subject to the new rules from 6 April 2006 in full.
