Irish, Director East Asian Legal Studies Center Volkman-Bascom Professor of Law University of Wisconsin Madison, USA crirish@wisc.edu July, 2008 1. Introduction. Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) have existed for a long time, but the sharp escalation in energy prices and the major trade imbalances of several East and Southeast Asian economies have generated significant government surpluses and corresponding growth in the SWFs. Based on information that is generally available, assets under management by SWFs now are approaching US$4,000,000,000,000 (US$4 trillion) and the IMF projects estimates that foreign assets under SWF management will grow to US$6 trillion to US$10 trillion by 2013.

SWFs also manage much smaller amounts than are held by pension funds (US$26 trillion), mutual funds (US$22 trillion) and insurance companies (US$17 trillion). SWFs have been in the news only partly because of their rapid growth. In recent months, SWFs based in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, China, South Korea, and Singapore have made several highly publicized investments to bail out Wall Street financial institutions, gain a share in Australias mining boom, and take a stake in British and American retail establishments. In 2007, SWFs made over 250 major investments totaling US$70,000,000,000 (US$70 billion). This combination of rapid growth and large, public investments have caused governments in many of the host (or potential host) countries to question whether politically influenced investment strategies of SWFs will have distorting effects on capital markets. The host government also are concerned that SWF investments and disinvestments might become threats to their national security. As a consequence, the OECD has recently issued guidelines for recipient countries policies towards SWFs and the IMF has started a project aimed at developing best practices for host country relations with SWFs. Some of the industrialized countries already have rules that restrict foreign government investments while others treat foreign government control as one of the factors to consider in their reviews of inbound direct investments. In the discussions about SWFs, however, two questions that have been largely ignored how SWFs are taxed and how they should be taxed. That is the object of this essay: specifically, to examine the current tax environment affecting SWFs with the view to identifying appropriate tax policies towards SWFs. First, however, we have to define what is meant by SWFs and then we need to take a brief look at the taxation of foreign investors generally. That is what is done in the next two sections. 2. What are Sovereign Wealth Funds? SWFs are essentially assets that governments have decided to keep separate from the usual processes of government budgeting and asset management. There is no single definition that distinguishes SWFs from the many other types of government owned investors active in international markets. Generally speaking, SWFs are actively managed, government-owned pools of capital originating in foreign exchange assets. The US Treasury defines SWFs as government investment vehicles funded by foreign exchange assets and managed separately from official reserves. The IMF also defines SWFs as government owned investment entities funded by foreign exchange assets, but it further differentiates the SWFs based on their purposes. The IMF has identified five categories of SWF: Stabilization funds are intended to insulate an economy from adverse changes in commodity prices. Savings funds invest the proceeds from the sale of nonrenewable commodities in diversified portfolios for the benefit of future generations. Reserve investment corporations are funded by official reserve assets, but are intended to earn greater returns than generally available for official reserves. Development funds are intended to support social or economic policies or industrial policies aimed at increasing economic growth. Contingent pension reserve funds are organized to cover governments contingent pension liabilities. While most political attention is directed at the large SWFs managed by national governments, the IMF definition of SWFs is sufficiently broad that it may include some government owned and managed pension and savings funds. On the other hand, some of largest state owned enterprises and public pension plans have opposed being characterized as SWFs because of the negative and often hyperbolic publicity associated with SWFs. Included among some of the larger government owned enterprises and public pension funds that are not regarded as SWFs are the US$431.5 billion managed by the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) and the US$93.8 billion managed by the State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB). On the other hand, the State of Alaskas Permanent Fund with US$39.8 billion, Albertas Heritage Fund with US$16.6 billion, and Wyomings Permanent Mineral Trust Fund with US$3.9 billion do fit within the definition of SWFs. 3. Taxation of Foreign Investors Generally. In order to better understand the special tax rules sometimes available to SWFs, it is necessary to review the taxation of foreign investors generally. Host country tax systems generally allocate the income of foreign investors into three categories. Under the first category, if a foreign investor is directly engaged in commercial activities in the host country, the income derived from the commercial activities is traditionally taxed in the host country on a net basis (i.e., after the cost of goods and expenses incurred in the production of income are deducted from the gross receipts). In such a circumstance, in international tax parlance, the foreign investor is deemed to have a permanent establishment in the host country and the income attributable to the permanent establishment is taxed on a net basis. The basic objective is to treat the income of a permanent establishment in the same fashion as the income earned by a domestic enterprise. Under the second category, outbound remittances of recurrent income, such as dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and compensation for services, are subject to gross withholding taxes. The gross withholding taxes usually only apply when the foreign investor either has no permanent establishment in the host country or the recurrent income is not attributable to the permanent establishment. In the United States, for example, the withholding tax rate applicable to outbound remittances of recurrent income is generally 30 percent of the gross remittance. In Malaysia, the withholding tax rates on the outbound remittances are between 5 and 27 percent. In Australia, the withholding tax rates range from 10 percent on interest to 30 percent on royalties and unfranked dividends. Singapore withholding tax rates range from 10 percent on royalties to 18 percent on management fees and technical assistance and service fees. Japan imposes withholding taxes of 15 percent on interest and 20 percent on dividends. Income that is neither attributable to a permanent establishment nor recurrent falls into the third category and is generally exempt from host country income taxes. The most common types of income that qualify for the exemption are: Gains from the sale of business inventory not attributable to a permanent establishment. Gains from the sale of stocks, bonds, and other securities. Interest paid to foreign investors on debt obligations and bank deposits. In summary, passive foreign investors, irrespective of their status as SWFs or not, often enjoy significant tax preferences in host countries. Both their gains from dealings in stocks, bonds and other securities and the interest they receive on debt obligations are often exempt from host country income taxes. In countries with low or no domestic taxes on dividends, such as Singapore and Australia (on franked dividends), the tax preferences for dividends also may be extended to foreign investors. 4. Taxation of Sovereign Wealth Funds. As mentioned Second 2, above, the distinction between SWFs and the many other funds owned or managed by governments is unclear. As a consequence, it is not surprising that SWFs generally are taxed in the same fashion as the other government owned or controlled funds. The tax systems applicable to SWFs and other governmental funds fall into three categories that are defined by their underlying policies. The three categories are: (i) unilateral exemption for passive investment income (i.e., dividends, interest and capital gains from dealings in stocks, bonds and other securities); (ii) reciprocal exemptions for passive investment income either under domestic law or as a result of bilateral tax treaties; and (iii) taxation to the same extent as private foreign investors. Each of these three categories is described in greater detail below. Unilateral Exemptions. In the first category are countries that provide unilateral exemptions for SWFs on their passive investment income. The exemption is granted as an extension of the doctrine of sovereign immunity. Because of the widespread adoption of the restrictive theory of sovereign immunity, with immunity no longer applying to commercial activities of foreign government enterprises, the unilateral tax exemptions typically only apply to passive investment income and do not apply to income from commercial activities. The United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom are in the first category. Under the domestic tax law, the United States grants a unilateral exemption to foreign governments. So long as the SWFs are either an integral part of a foreign government or an entity controlled by the foreign government, SWFs enjoy the benefit of the tax exemption. The exemption applies to interest, dividends and capital gains from dealings in stocks, bonds and other securities. The exemption also applies to capital gains received on the sale of stock in a US real property holding company. On the other hand, gains from the sale of a directly owned US real property interest would be subject to tax. In addition, royalty income, income directly received from commercial activities and dividends and capital gains from a controlled commercial enterprise do not qualify for the exemption. The Australian exemption for foreign governments is done administratively on a case by case basis. To qualify for the exemption, a foreign government or its agency must establish (i) that the person making the investment (and therefore deriving the income) is a foreign government or an agency of a foreign government, (ii) that the moneys being invested are and will remain government moneys; and (iii) that the income is derived from non-commercial activities. Income derived by a foreign government or by any other body exercising governmental functions from interest bearing investments or investments in equities is generally not considered to be income derived from a commercial operation or activity. In relation to a holding of shares in a company, a portfolio holding of 10 percent or less of the equity in a company is generally accepted as a non-commercial activity and dividends received from such holding are exempt from tax. Direct holdings of real estate are not within the exemption, however, so rental income received from Australian real estate and gains from the disposition of such real estate is not exempt from tax. The UK exemption for foreign governments also is done administratively. The UK Government has said that where a SWF is an integral part of a foreign government it will benefit from the exemption from UK taxes. Because the UK recognizes the principle of sovereign immunity under which one state does not attempt to tax the activities of another state, the current practice of the UK Government is to treat all passive income and gains beneficially owned by a foreign government as immune from direct taxes. Reciprocal exemptions. The second category consists of governments that exempt foreign governments and their SWFs only where the foreign governments extend a comparable exemption. The reciprocal exemption is accomplished either domestically or through inclusion in bilateral double taxation treaties. Revenue Canada has issued the following statement describing the exemption for foreign governments, including SWFs: 50. Under the Doctrine of Sovereign Immunity, the Government of Canada may grant exemption from tax on certain Canadian-source investment income paid or credited to the government or central bank of a foreign country. Written authorization not to withhold tax is given to the Canadian resident payer upon request after substantiation that such investment income (other than that already exempt under the Act and Regulations) is the property of the government or central bank of a foreign country. Investment income of a foreign government or its agency is exempt only if (a) the other country would provide a reciprocal exemption to the Canadian Government or its agencies; (b) the income is derived by the foreign government or agency in the course of exercising a function of a governmental nature and is not income arising in the course of an industrial or commercial activity carried on by the foreign authority; and (c) it is interest on an arm's length debt or portfolio dividends on listed company shares. Income such as rentals, royalties or direct dividends from a company in which the foreign government has a substantial or controlling equity interest does not qualify for exemption. The bilateral tax treaty between Singapore and Malaysia (effective January 1, 2007) is an example of a reciprocal exemption for governmental entities. Article 11 of the tax treaty provides that the withholding tax on interest paid to non-residents should not exceed 10 percent. Paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 11 then provide that Singaporean source interest paid to the Malaysian Government, the governments of the Malaysian states, Bank Negara Malaysia, local authorities, statutory bodies, and the Export-Import Bank of Malaysia Berhad is exempt from tax in Singapore. Malaysian source interest paid to the Singaporean Government, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation Pte. Ltd., and Singaporean statutory bodies is exempt from tax in Malaysia. Among countries with major government investment funds, including SWFs, reciprocal exemptions by bilateral tax treaties seem fairly common. The bilateral tax treaties between Singapore and Japan (effective January 1, 1996) and Norway and Russia, for example, contain reciprocal exemptions for interest paid to foreign governments, regional and local authorities and their agencies. Even though it provides a unilateral tax exemption for foreign governments and their agencies, the United States has obtained exemptions for its government funds, including subnational SWFs, such as the Alaska Permanent Fund, and subnational government investment funds that are not SWFs, such as CalPERS and SWIB. The recent amendment (May 2, 2006) to the US bilateral tax treaty with Denmark provides for reciprocal exemptions for dividends, while the original treaty provides a general exemption for interest paid to residents of the other country. The US tax treaties with Switzerland and the Netherlands also provide limited exemptions for pension funds, including government owned pension funds such as CalPERS and SWIB. No special exemptions. In the third category are countries that have no special provisions for SWFs and other government owned and controlled entities. Presumably the dominant policy underpinning this category is the notion of taxpayer equity. Under this policy, since all foreign investors, irrespective of their ownership or the source of their funds, obtain benefits from the host countrys infrastructure and the investment opportunities it offers, they all should be subject to the same level of taxation. Germany has no special provisions for foreign governments, including SWFs. The result is that foreign governments and their SWFs are taxed in the same fashion as foreign corporations investing in Germany. The absence of any special tax preferences is softened, however, by the generally benign tax system applicable to foreign investors. Under Germanys domestic tax laws, foreign investors interest income and capital gains from shares are generally exempt from tax. In addition, foreign corporations, including foreign governments and SWFs, are not taxed on 95 percent of the dividends they receive from German corporations. The net result is that all foreign investors in German actually pay little tax on their passive investments so the absence of special tax benefits for foreign governments and SWFs is not very notable. On the other hand, Taiwan, New Zealand, and South Korea do have significant withholding taxes imposed on outbound remittances of passive income and they appear to have no special tax preferences for foreign governments, including SWFs. It may be that if the markets for global capital become tighter these governments will feel pressure to offer some tax preferences to large government investment funds, including SWFs. 5. Conclusions and Recommendations. Governments attitudes towards SWFs certainly are not uniform. Some countries, such as Singapore and China, are awash in capital and may feel little pressure to unilaterally offer special tax preferences to SWFs and other government owned investment funds. On the other hand, as the home to some of the major SWFs, those countries are precisely the ones that are likely to be concerned about the tax treatment of their SWFs in other countries. This suggests that for such countries a policy that offers tax preferences only on a reciprocal basis would be attractive. It does appear that the United States, with its unilateral exemption, is overly generous. It may be that the American need for capital inflows currently is so great that the United States cannot jeopardize continuing investments from the Middle Eastern or Asian based SWFs. The current system does, however, put the many American based SWFs and other national and subnational government owned funds at a negotiating disadvantage as they seek tax preferences in other countries. If the other countries do not already grant tax preferences, as Norway, South Korea, Taiwan, and New Zealand do not, the United States unilateral exemptions for foreign governments and their SWFs create no incentive for those countries to provide tax preferences comparable to the exemptions available in the United States. Therefore, it seems that the United States also should consider moving away from its unilateral exemption towards exemptions available on a reciprocal basis. The reciprocity could be done either through a change in domestic law, such as is done in Canada, or through the negotiation of tax treaties, as Singapore, Russia, Norway, and Malaysia have done. The major problem with the tax treaty approach is that the glacial pace of treaty negotiations means that our grandchildren will be well into their professional careers before the change in policy begins to become effective. On the other hand, offering reciprocal exemptions by bilateral tax treaties may encourage the negotiation of tax treaties between the United States and many of the states in the Middle East. From a tax policy perspective, the most reasoned approach is probably the third category to not offer any special tax preferences for foreign governments and their SWFs. In fact, a good case can be made for taxing all foreign investors, including large charitable organizations, on the same basis. The competition for foreign government investments, including SWFs, is likely to intensify, however, as potential host governments come to recognize that the great preponderance of these investments are long term and stable. It may be that competitive pressures will force the Taiwanese, New Zealand and South Korean governments to adopt a more attractive tax system for investments by foreign governments and their SWFs.
