There are a number of reasons why UK residents may use a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). Often an SPV is a UK or offshore company although not necessarily. An offshore foundation or specific type of company such as a protected cell company could be used.
Some of the the main occasions when an SPV could be used include:
• To hide ownership (eg by using an offshore company/foundation to hold particular assets)
• To isolate assets from financial risk
• To crystallise capital gains
• To separate assets for tax purposes
• To allow shares rather than underlying assets to be transferred.
In this mini guide we'll look at some of these in a little more detail.
