(8) For the purposes of determining whether the same shares have been provided to more than one trust, if shares have been acquired by the trustees of the plan trust on different days it shall be assumed that those acquired on an earlier day are awarded under the plan before those acquired by the trustees on a later day.

(9) No deduction is allowed in respect of the award of shares acquired by the trustees by virtue of a payment in respect of which a deduction has been made under paragraph 9 (deduction for contribution to plan trust) or 10(3) (further deduction where deduction under paragraph 9 withdrawn).

(a) [F39 an officer of Revenue and Customs] give a direction under sub-paragraph (1)(a) or (b) in respect of any deduction, and

(8) An amount equal to the appropriate proportion of the deduction is treated as a trading receipt of the company for the period of account in which the shares are so awarded.

(9) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (8), the appropriate proportion of the deduction is the proportion which the number of shares awarded to the individual bears to the total number of shares acquired by virtue of the payment.

(10) For the purposes of this paragraph, where shares are acquired by the trustees on different days, it shall be assumed that those acquired on an earlier day are awarded to employees under the plan before those acquired by the trustees on a later day.

(c) any deductions under paragraph 9 (deduction for contribution to plan trust) (in so far as not already withdrawn under paragraph 10), or

(d) any deductions under paragraph 10(3) (further deduction where deduction under paragraph 9 withdrawn),

in relation to the plan is also withdrawn.

(2) The effect of the direction is that the aggregate amount of the deductions is treated as a trading receipt of that company for the period of account in which [F39 an officer of Revenue and Customs] give notice of the withdrawal of approval.

(c) not all the shares acquired by virtue of the payment have been awarded under the plan before issue of the plan termination notice,

an amount equal to the appropriate proportion of the deduction is treated as a trading receipt of the company for the period of account in which the plan termination notice is given.

(3) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2), the appropriate proportion of the deduction is the proportion which the number of shares acquired by virtue of the payment and not awarded as specified in sub-paragraph (2)(c) bears to the total number of shares so acquired.
