Consultation description

The Hybrid and Other Mismatches rules at Part 6A of the Taxation (International and Other Provisions) Act 2010 contain an exemption for certain hybrid instruments issued by banks.

This exemption will fall away after 31 December 2022 by virtue of a sunset clause, which was required by an EU directive.
