The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal has ruled in favour of an investment fund that was prohibited from offsetting its losses against future profits because of a technical mistake it made when submitting its tax return.

The Nicholas Applegate South East Asia Fund is a Mauritius-based protected cell company (PCC). A PCC is an ordinary company that is statutorily authorized to segregate its assets into cells. A creditor of one cell can only proceed against the assets of that cell – a concept known as “ring-fencing”. PCCs are the most popular entity for use as collective investment vehicles across jurisdictions, especially in Europe. They are particularly useful when a fund manager desires to manage the assets of multiple funds and, at the same time, market the multiple funds as a single opportunity.
