Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Act (including any effects on those provisions):
(1)An application for relief may be made by A (or, if A has died, A's personal representatives) to an officer of Revenue and Customs if—
(a)this Chapter has applied by reason of a relevant step (“the original relevant step”) within section 554B taken by a person (“P”),
(b)there occurs an event (“the relevant event”) which is not a relevant step in relation to a relevant sum or asset,
(c)by reason of the relevant event no further relevant step is or will be taken by P or any other person in relation to any relevant sum or asset, and
(d)there is no connection (direct or indirect) between the relevant event and a tax avoidance arrangement.
(2)In section 554Z(15) the reference to the avoidance of tax includes (in particular) a reference to the avoidance of tax by way of obtaining relief under this section.
(3)In subsection (1) “relevant sum or asset” means—
(a)the sum of money or asset which is the subject of the original relevant step, or
(b)a sum of money or asset which (directly or indirectly) has arisen or derived, or may arise or derive, from the sum of money or asset mentioned in paragraph (a).
(4)The application for relief must be made within four years from the time when the relevant event occurs.
(5)If an officer of Revenue and Customs is satisfied that the requirements in subsection (1) are met, the officer must give such relief as the officer considers just and reasonable (if any) in respect of income tax paid on any previously charged amount.
(6)In subsection (5) “previously charged amount” means—
(a)the amount which counted as employment income of A under this Chapter as a result of this Chapter applying by reason of the original relevant step, or
(b)any amount treated by section 222 as earnings of A in relation to the notional payment (within the meaning of that section) which B is treated as having made by virtue of the original relevant step.
(7)Subsection (8) applies if, by virtue of this Chapter having applied by reason of the original relevant step, any tax liability of A or any other person arising from another event is reduced (including to nil) by virtue of section 554Z5 or 554Z13 or otherwise.
(8)In determining what is a just and reasonable amount of relief, the officer of Revenue and Customs must have regard (in particular) to the reduction in the tax liability and reduce the amount of relief which would otherwise have been given accordingly (including to nil).
(9)The relief is to be given by repayment or otherwise as appropriate.
(10)In relation to times after the relief is given, the Tax Acts have effect as if this Chapter had never applied by reason of the original relevant step.]
