Important information for UK resident tax payers

The following information applies to UK resident tax payers and other Reporting Funds.

This information is relevant to share classes within the UBS Funds which have obtained 鈥楻eporting Fund鈥 status for UK tax purposes.

UK tax resident investors investing in a 鈥楻eporting Fund鈥 must include in their UK tax return both the actual distributions received from their investment as well as the 鈥榬eported income鈥 (broadly, their proportionate share of the fund鈥檚 reported income in excess of the sums actually distributed). UK investors will be liable to income or corporation tax as appropriate on the total of these sums.

If you invest in a share class which has 鈥楻eporting Fund鈥 status for UK tax purposes you are required to review the periodic information contained on the UBS website (see below) and include the relevant details on your UK tax return. 聽

Further instructions for investors:

UBS 鈥楻eporting Funds鈥 are required to provide a report to investors who hold units in the Fund at the end of the relevant accounting period, including details of the reported income of the relevant share class.

UK tax resident investors holding units in the Fund on the last day of the Fund鈥檚 accounting period are required to obtain the 鈥榬eported income鈥 calculation on this website (contained in the pdfs - see below) and include it in their UK tax return.

The report shows the dates and amounts per share class of all distributions paid during the Fund鈥檚 account period. 鈥楻eported income鈥 in excess of the sums actually distributed are deemed to have been received six months after the accounting year end of the Fund, on the 鈥楩und distribution date鈥, and should be included in the tax return for the relevant tax year.

Example

Investor acquired 1000 shares in the Fund (share class 鈥榅鈥) on 1 June 2010.
