(4)If notice is given under this paragraph in relation to an SAYE option scheme, for the purposes of the SAYE code the scheme is to be a Schedule 3 SAYE option scheme at all times on and after the relevant date (but not before that date).
(5)But if the notice is given after the initial notification deadline, the scheme is to be a Schedule 3 SAYE option scheme only from the beginning of the relevant tax year.
[F88(5A)Sub-paragraph (5) does not apply if the scheme organiser satisfies HMRC (or, on an appeal under paragraph 40K, the tribunal) that there is a reasonable excuse for the failure to give notice on or before the initial notification deadline.
(5B)Paragraph 40C(9) (what constitutes a reasonable excuse) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraph (5A).
(5C)Where HMRC are required under sub-paragraph (5A) to consider whether there was a reasonable excuse, HMRC must notify the scheme organiser of their decision within the period of 45 days beginning with the day on which HMRC received the scheme organiser's request to consider the excuse.
(5D)Where HMRC are required to notify the scheme organiser as specified in sub-paragraph (5C) but do not do so—
(a)HMRC are to be treated as having decided that there was no reasonable excuse, and
(b)HMRC must notify the scheme organiser of the decision which they are treated as having made.]
(6)For the purposes of this Part—
“the initial notification deadline” is 6 July in the tax year following that in which the first grant date falls,
“outstanding”, in relation to a share option, means that the option—
has not been exercised, but
is capable of being exercised in accordance with the scheme (whether on the meeting of any condition or otherwise),
“the relevant date” is—
the date on which the declaration within sub-paragraph (3) is made, or
if that declaration is made after the first grant date, the first grant date, and
“the relevant tax year” is—
the tax year in which the notice under this paragraph is given, or
if that notice is given on or before 6 July in that tax year, the preceding tax year.
(7)Sub-paragraph (4) is subject to the following paragraphs of this Part.

40B(1)This paragraph applies if notice is given in relation to an SAYE option scheme under paragraph 40A.
(2)The scheme organiser must give to HMRC a return for the tax year in which the relevant date falls and for each subsequent tax year (subject to sub-paragraph (9)).
(3)If paragraph 40A(5) applies in relation to the scheme, in sub-paragraph (2) the reference to the tax year in which the relevant date falls is to be read as a reference to the relevant tax year.

(b)be given on or before 6 July in the following tax year.
(5)The information which may be required under sub-paragraph (4)(a) includes (in particular) information to enable HMRC to determine the liability to tax, including capital gains tax, of—

(6)If during a tax year—
(a)an alteration is made in a key feature of the scheme, or
(b)variations are made under a provision made under paragraph 28(3) to take account of a variation in any share capital,
the return for the tax year must contain a declaration within sub-paragraph (7) made by such persons as HMRC may require.
(7)A declaration within this sub-paragraph is a declaration, as the case may be—
(a)that the alteration has, or
(b)that the variations have,
not caused the requirements of Parts 2 to 7 of this Schedule not to be met in relation to the scheme.
(8)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (6)(a) a “key feature” of a scheme is a provision of the scheme which is necessary in order for the requirements of Parts 2 to 7 of this Schedule to be met in relation to the scheme.
(9)A return is not required for any tax year following that in which the termination condition is met in relation to the scheme.
(10)For the purposes of this Part “the termination condition” is met in relation to a scheme when—
(a)all share options granted under the scheme—
(i)have been exercised, or
(ii)are no longer capable of being exercised in accordance with the scheme (because, for example, they have lapsed or been cancelled), and
(b)no more share options will be granted under the scheme.
(11)If the scheme organiser becomes aware that—
(a)anything which should have been included in, or should have accompanied, a return for a tax year was not included in, or did not accompany, the return,
(b)anything which should not have been included in, or should not have accompanied, a return for a tax year was included in, or accompanied, the return, or
(c)any other error or inaccuracy has occurred in relation to a return for a tax year,
the scheme organiser must give an amended return correcting the position to HMRC without delay.
40C(1)This paragraph applies if the scheme organiser fails to give a return for a tax year (containing, or accompanied by, all required information and declarations) on or before the date mentioned in paragraph 40B(4)(b) (“the date for delivery”).U.K.
(2)The scheme organiser is liable for a penalty of £100.
(3)If the scheme organiser's failure continues after the end of the period of 3 months beginning with the date for delivery, the scheme organiser is liable for a further penalty of £300.
(4)If the scheme organiser's failure continues after the end of the period of 6 months beginning with the date for delivery, the scheme organiser is liable for a further penalty of £300.
(5)The scheme organiser is liable for a further penalty under this sub-paragraph if—
(a)the scheme organiser's failure continues after the end of the period of 9 months beginning with the date for delivery,
(b)HMRC decide that such a penalty should be payable, and
(c)HMRC give notice to the scheme organiser specifying the period in respect of which the penalty is payable.
(The scheme organiser may be liable for more than one penalty under this sub-paragraph.)
(6)The penalty under sub-paragraph (5) is £10 for each day that the failure continues during the period specified in the notice under sub-paragraph (5)(c).
(7)The period specified in the notice under sub-paragraph (5)(c)—
(a)may begin earlier than the date on which the notice is given, but
(b)may not begin until after the end of the period mentioned in sub-paragraph (5)(a) or, if relevant, the end of any period specified in any previous notice under sub-paragraph (5)(c) given in relation to the failure.
(8)Liability for a penalty under this paragraph does not arise if the scheme organiser satisfies HMRC (or, on an appeal under paragraph 40K, the tribunal) that there is a reasonable excuse for its failure.
(9)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (8)—
(a)an insufficiency of funds is not a reasonable excuse, unless attributable to events outside the scheme organiser's control,
(b)where the scheme organiser relies on any other person to do anything, that is not a reasonable excuse unless the scheme organiser took reasonable care to avoid the failure, and
(c)where the scheme organiser had a reasonable excuse for the failure but the excuse ceased, the scheme organiser is to be treated as having continued to have the excuse if the failure is remedied without unreasonable delay after the excuse ceased.
40D(1)A notice under paragraph 40A, and any information accompanying the notice, must be given electronically.
(2)A return under paragraph 40B, and any information accompanying the return, must be given electronically.
(3)But, if HMRC consider it appropriate to do so, HMRC may allow the scheme organiser to give a notice or return or any accompanying information in another way; and, if HMRC do so, the notice, return or information must be given in that other way.
(4)The Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs—
(a)must prescribe how notices, returns and accompanying information are to be given electronically;
(b)may make different provision for different cases or circumstances.

(ii)which is not corrected as required by paragraph 40B(11).
(2)The scheme organiser is liable for a penalty of an amount decided by HMRC.
(3)The penalty must not exceed £5,000.
(4)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(b)(i) an inaccuracy is careless if it is due to a failure by the scheme organiser to take reasonable care.

(2)HMRC may enquire into the scheme if HMRC give notice to the scheme organiser of HMRC's intention to do so no later than—

(b)if the notice under paragraph 40A is given after the initial notification deadline, 6 July in the second tax year following the relevant tax year.

(4)Sub-paragraph (5) applies if (at any time) HMRC have reasonable grounds for believing that requirements of Parts 2 to 7 of this Schedule—

(2)If the scheme organiser receives notice under paragraph 40F(2), (3) or (5), the scheme organiser may make an application to the tribunal for a direction requiring a closure notice for the enquiry to be given within a specified period.
(3)The application is to be subject to the relevant provisions of Part 5 of TMA 1970 (see, in particular, section 48(2)(b) of that Act).

(b)is exercised at or after the time mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(a)(i) or (ii) (as the case may be).
(4)For the purposes of section 519 (exemption in respect of exercise of share option) in its application to the option, the scheme is to be taken still to be a Schedule 3 SAYE option scheme at the time of the exercise of the option.
(5)The penalty under sub-paragraph (2)(b) must not exceed an amount equal to twice HMRC's reasonable estimate of—

(7)If the scheme organiser is given a default notice—
(a)the scheme is not to be a Schedule 3 SAYE option scheme with effect from—

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
