ISLA has removed the GMSLA UK Tax addendum from its website. This is as a result of the Manufactured Overseas Dividend (MOD) rules changing in 2003. This has rendered much of the current addendum obsolete. ISLA is currently engaged in a project to review the GMSLA and supporting documentation and anticipates this will be available in Q2 2008.
