Taxation of Loan Relationships and Derivative Contracts

Formerly known as "Taxation of Corporate Debt, Foreign Exchange and Derivative Contracts", this well-established work now appears in its 8th edition. It has been wholly rewritten, to take account of the radical legal and accounting changes resulting from the application of International Accounting Standards (IAS) and new UK GAAP. Written by David Southern, a leading expert in the field, and the PricewaterhouseCoopers team, headed by Derek Jenkins, it offers comprehensive coverage of: IAS 32/39 and FRS 25/26; loan relationships under IAS; impairment losses and connected company rules; the new derivative contracts rules; bifurcation of convertibles; transfer pricing domestic and international; the disregard rules on tax hedging; matching and functional currencies; reconstructions and mergers; repos and stock lending; and anti-avoidance rules. Particular emphasis is placed on providing worked examples and planning guidance.
