Six Group Tax IRS Section 871(m)

The US Internal Revenue Service regulation 871(m) aims to collect tax on dividends related to instruments that are linked to US equities. In order to comply with the regulation, firms are required to identify in-scope equity-linked instruments that create dividend equivalent payments and ensure appropriate withholding and reporting. This is a complex undertaking that requires extensive knowledge of the characteristics of equity-linked derivatives.

Determining which instruments are in-scope is a complex undertaking that requires extensive knowledge of the characteristics of equity-linked derivatives:
  • Delta at issue for securitized derivatives / Daily deltas for ETDs
  • Constituents, weighting and dividend yields of indices with US equity components
  • Continuous monitoring of dividend payments on the underlying equities
  • Product Positioning

Identifying the financial products that are in-scope takes detailed know-how i.e. is the underlying instrument US tax relevant, and determining the delta for each underlying instrument in the case of derivatives with multiple underlying. In addition to sourcing more granular data, this requires a complex a series of rulesets. We determine which derivatives are in scope in accordance with their underlying instruments and indices, and flag for clear identification. Over time, our award-winning corporate actions monitoring provides data which is critical for tracking changes in the instrument lifecycle and determining the dividend-equivalent payments.

Strike Price string Strike price. Options contracts are derivatives that give the holders the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell some underlying security at some point in the future at a pre-specified price. This price is known as the option's strike price (or exercise price). For call options, the strike price is where the security can be bought by the option holder; for put options, the strike price is the price at which the security can be sold.
Option Style string Kind of exercise practiced, whereupon the following variations come to use. American style: Can be exercised at any time for the whole period; the data "exercise from" and "exercise to" are thus different. European style: Exercise at maturity or expiry.

SIX Calculated Delta string Delta measuring relationship between an option price and the underlying futures contract or stock price. Deltas provided at pricing level are valid for the entire product or ELI respectively, hence that delta information is only useful for single underlying ELIs.
3rd Party Calculated Delta string Delta measuring relationship between an option price and the underlying futures contract or stock price. Deltas provided at pricing level are valid for the entire product or ELI respectively, hence that delta information is only useful for single underlying ELIs.
First 3rd Party Calculated Delta string First delta provided by a trusted source for each listing of a future, traded option, warrant or structured security.

Unit string Indicates the unit of measurement in which the instrument quantity is expressed: per instrument or per nominal.
Delta at Issuance string For a simple contract subject to Section 871(m), the delta at issuance for the relevant Section 871(m) underlying is needed to calculation the dividend equivalent amount for the product.
Shares in Initial Hedge string To calculate a dividend equivalent amount under Section 871(m) for a complex contract, each 871(m) relevant underlying of a product has to pass a "substantial equivalence test" for which an initial hedge is used. The corresponding number of instruments in the initial hedge is indicated in this field.
