Approved issuer levy
If you pay interest to a (non associated) non-resident lender, and want to pay it at a zero rate of NRWT (Non-resident withholding tax), you have to apply to Inland Revenue to become an approved issuer. Instead of deducting NRWT, approved issuers (or a person on their behalf) must pay a levy on the securities they register with Inland Revenue.
