Manufactured payments in respect of Loaned Securities - GMSLA Provision
GMSLA Anatomy™
|
In other words the Borrower pays what the Lender would have received net, by reference to the Lender's own situation. This means that the Lender doesn't need to worry about different rates of tax or withholding applying to the Borrower. The Borrower, being the person who wanted to borrow the securities, takes the risk of untoward taxes related to its own position (as opposed to the Lender’s position) — if the tax is one the Lender would have suffered anyway, the Borrower doesn't have to account for this.
Makes sense, really.
