Following
the US Double Taxation Convention of 2001 HMRC entered into a competent
authority agreement with the IRS to give an expanded definition of “pension
scheme” for treaty benefits under Article 10(3)(b) (Dividends), notably to
include unit linked pension policies.
The text of this agreement can be hard to find. It is at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/competent_authority.pdf
on the IRS website and at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/dtmanual/dt19939zd.htm on the HMRC website.
