7(1)M1Subject to sub-paragraphs (4) and (5) below, where the trustees of an approved profit sharing scheme receive a sum of money which constitutes (or forms part of)—U.K.
(a)the proceeds of a disposal of shares falling within section 186(4), or
(b)a capital receipt,
in respect of which [F1an amount counts as employment income of the participant] in accordance with section 186, the trustees shall pay out of that sum of money to the company specified in sub-paragraph (3) below an amount equal to that on which income tax is so payable; and the company shall then pay over that amount to the participant but in so doing shall make a P.A.Y.E. deduction.
(2)Where a participant disposes of his beneficial interest in any of his shares to the trustees of the scheme and the trustees are deemed by virtue of section 186(9) to have disposed of the shares in question, this paragraph shall apply as if the consideration payable by the trustees to the participant on the disposal had been received by the trustees as the proceeds of disposal of shares falling within section 186(4).
(3)The company to which the payment mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) above is to be made is the company—
(a)of which the participant is an employee or director at the time the trustees receive the sum of money referred to in that sub-paragraph, and
(b)whose employees are at that time eligible (subject to the terms of the scheme and Schedule 9) to be participants in the approved profit sharing scheme concerned,
and if there is more than one company which falls within paragraphs (a) and (b) above, such one of those companies as the Board may direct.
(4)Where the trustees of an approved profit sharing scheme receive a sum of money to which sub-paragraph (1) above applies but—
(a)there is no company which falls within paragraphs (a) and (b) of sub-paragraph (3) above, or
(b)the Board is of opinion that it is impracticable for the company which falls within those paragraphs (or, as the case may be, any of them) to make a P.A.Y.E. deduction and accordingly direct that this sub-paragraph shall apply,
then, in paying over to the participant the proceeds of the disposal or the capital receipt, the trustees shall make a P.A.Y.E. deduction in respect of an amount equal to that on which income tax is payable as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) above as if the participant were a former employee of the trustees.
(5)Where the trustees of an approved profit sharing scheme receive a sum of money to which sub-paragraph (1) above applies and the Board direct that this sub-paragraph shall apply—
(a)the trustees shall make the payment mentioned in that sub-paragraph to the company specified in the Board’s direction; and
(b)that company shall pay over that amount to the participant but in so doing shall make a P.A.Y.E. deduction, and for that purpose if the participant is not an employee of that company he shall be treated as a former employee;
but no such direction shall be given except with the consent of the trustees, the company or companies (if any) specified in sub-paragraph (3) above and the company specified in the direction.
(6)Where, in accordance with this paragraph any person is required to make a P.A.Y.E. deduction in respect of any amount, that amount shall be treated for the purposes of [F2section 684 of ITEPA 2003 (PAYE regulations) and PAYE regulations as PAYE income payable to the recipient], and, accordingly, such deduction shall be made as is required by those regulations.
(7)Where, in connection with a transfer of a participant’s shares to which sub-paragraph (c) of paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 9 applies, the trustees receive such a sum as is referred to in that sub-paragraph, that sum shall be treated for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts—
(a)as a sum deducted by the trustees pursuant to a requirement to make a P.A.Y.E. deduction under sub-paragraph (4) above; and
(b)as referable to the income tax F3. . . which, as a result of the transfer, [F4is charged on the participant] by virtue of section 186(4).
(8)Unless the Board otherwise direct, in the application of this paragraph to a sum of money which constitutes or forms part of the proceeds of a disposal of, or a capital receipt referable to, excess or unauthorised shares (within the meaning of paragraph 6 above), the trustees shall determine the amount of the payment mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) above or, as the case may be, the amount of the P.A.Y.E. deduction to be made under sub-paragraph (4) above as if the shares were not excess or unauthorised shares.
