F2Pt. 7 Ch. 3A inserted (16.4.2003 with effect in accordance with Sch. 22 para. 5(2)-(4) of the amending Act) by Finance Act 2003 (c. 14), Sch. 22 para. 5(1)
(1)This section applies where the market value of employment-related securities at the time of the acquisition has been reduced by at least 10% as a result of things done otherwise than for genuine commercial purposes within the period of 7 years ending with the acquisition.
(2)The taxable amount determined under section 446C counts as employment income of the employee for the tax year in which the acquisition occurs.
(3)But this section does not apply if section 425(2) (no charge on acquisition of certain restricted securities or restricted interests in securities) applies in relation to the employment-related securities.
(4)This section does not affect any liability to income tax arising in respect of the acquisition of the employment-related securities under—
(a)Chapter 1 of Part 3 (earnings),
(b)Chapter 10 of Part 3 (taxable benefits: residual liability to charge),
(c)Chapter 3 of this Part (acquisition by conversion),

(4)But where what would be MV is less than the amount of any consideration given for the acquisition of the employment-related securities, MV is the amount of that consideration.
(5)This section is subject to section 446D (restricted securities and convertible securities).
(1)Where the employment-related securities are restricted securities or a restricted interest in securities, FMV (but not MV) is to be determined as if the employment-related securities were not restricted securities or a restricted interest in securities; and, accordingly, sections 426 to 431 (post-acquisition charges on restricted securities) do not apply to the employment-related securities.
(2)Where the employment-related securities are convertible securities or an interest in convertible securities, FMV and MV are to be determined as if they were not.]
