The scope of the legislation \u201cOffshore Receipts in respect of Intangible Property\u201d is limited to territories with which the UK does not have a full tax treaty. A \u201cfull treaty territory\u201d is defined in the legislation as a treaty containing a non-discrimination provision. A non-discrimination provision is defined by reference to nationals of a state. Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man are not \u201cstates\u201d, they are territories for which the UK is responsible and so cannot meet that condition.<\/p>
<\/p>
It follows that the Crown Dependencies are within scope of the legislation. The government has committed to respecting its international obligations in respect of this measure.
