Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |

Overview and summary |
XMS Capital Partners UK Limited (XMS UK) is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom (UK). XMS UK Provides corporate finance advisory services. |
From 1 January 2023, XMS UK became subject to the UK Investment Firms Prudential Regime (IFPR). Under the IFPR and specifically the FCA's Prudential Sourcebook for MiFID firms (MIFIDPRU), XMS UK has been classified as a Small Non-Interconnected (SNI) MIFIDPRU investment firm. As an SNI firm (without additional Tier 1 instruments in issue), XMS UK is required (among other things) to publish a summary disclosure covering its remuneration arrangements under the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) MIFIDPRU 8.6 Rules. |
This Remuneration Disclosure covers XMS UK only. The performance reference period is from 1st January 2023 to 31st December 2023 and this Remuneration Policy disclosure has been prepared on the financial statements as of 31st December 2023. |
Remuneration policies and practices |
XMS UK pays all its staff remuneration, which comprises a fixed element and can also include a variable discretionary element. All remuneration is overseen by XMS UK's management body, its Board of Directors (the Board), in its supervisory function. An employee's fixed remuneration element is based on pre-determined criteria. It is non-discretionary, transparent, permanent for the year and subject to an annual review, whereby any possible increase is assessed. The fixed remuneration reflects a staff member's professional knowledge and experience, their skills, the requirements of the particular role for which they are employed, their qualifications, and his or her organisational responsibilities as set out in the staff member's job description and terms and conditions of employment. |
All staff can receive variable remuneration in the form of an annual discretionary bonus. An employee's variable element of their remuneration is also based on pre-determined criteria. The variable element aims to motivate and reward high performers who strengthen long-term client relations, generate income and increase customer value. The performance will be assessed on the basis of the fulfilment of various business targets or the attainment of certain financial and non-financial objectives. Such targets will be set by XMS UK's senior management. |
There are no staff members paid only variable discretionary remuneration, and fixed remuneration levels are set at levels sufficient to ensure there should be no dependency by employees on their receiving variable discretionary remuneration in order to be able to live. Variable discretionary remuneration is only paid from risk adjusted profits based upon the performance of the business as a whole, and the individual, and only after XMS UK's liquidity and capital requirements and its risk appetite and strategy have been considered on a 12-month rolling period. |
Annual reviews are in place to assess whether an individual has achieved their goals and objectives; met the core competencies required in their particular role; undertaken all required training (particularly regulatory training) and assess any future development needs. The annual reviews are in compliance with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) requirements and include an assessment of competence and fitness and propriety for roles that fall under the Senior Managers & Certification Regime (SMCR) as well as those in XMS UK's business that are outside the SMCR. |
XMS UK deems the following non-financial qualitative metrics to be relevant to its strategic objectives and therefore includes them in the annual review criteria for individuals: |
- Meeting XMS UK's regulatory obligations (such as individual conduct; treating clients fairly; no upheld complaints; compliance with any stipulations set by the Compliance Oversight Officer, etc); |
- Observing and adhering to XMS UK's risk management and compliance policies, and systems and controls that are in place; |
- Observing and adhering to the compliance and governance procedures that are in place. |
- Not having been subject to any disciplinary action or breached any of the Financial Conduct Authorities (FCA) conduct rules; |
- Measures relating to building and maintaining positive external relationships with vendors, investors; and third party business contacts; |
- Performance in line with XMS UK's strategy or values, good role model following XMS UK's process to ensure no risks are taken and no compliance is ignored; |
- Prompt and transparent response on regulatory compliance attestations; |
- Prompt completion of any training administered to the individual; and |

XMS UK does not discriminate against anyone on the grounds of any of the following characteristics (without limitation) age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion/belief, sex (gender) and sexual orientation. |
XMS UK's compliance consultants provide comments and input at least on annual basis into its Remuneration Policy arrangements to ensure it is balanced and proportionate to nature, scale and complexity of the risks inherent in XMS UK's business model and regulatory activities; does not lead to any undue risk taking by any employees; and that it is compliant with FCA relevant requirements. |
