(a)qualifying benefits are provided, or qualifying expenses are paid, out of the contributions during the period or within 9 months from the end of it, or
(b)if the making of the contributions is itself the provision of qualifying benefits, the contributions are made during the period or within 9 months from the end of it.
(3)An amount disallowed under subsection (2) is allowed as a deduction for a subsequent period so far as—

(1)For the purposes of section 38 the employer makes an “employee benefit contribution” if—
(a)the employer pays money or transfers an asset to another person (“the third party”), and
(b)the third party is entitled or required, under the terms of an employee benefit scheme, to hold or use the money or asset for or in connection with the provision of benefits to, or in respect of, present or former employees of the employer.
(2)For this purpose “employee benefit scheme” means a trust, scheme or other arrangement for the benefit of persons who are, or include, present or former employees of the employer.
(1)For the purposes of section 38 qualifying benefits are provided if there is—
(a)a payment of money, or
(b)a transfer of assets,
which meets condition A, B, C or D.
(2)Condition A is that the payment or transfer gives rise both to an employment income tax charge and to an NIC charge.
(3)Condition B is that the payment or transfer would give rise to both charges if—
(a)the duties of the employment in respect of which the payment or transfer was made were performed in the United Kingdom, and
(b)the person in respect of whose employment the payment or transfer was made met at all relevant times the conditions as to residence or presence in Great Britain or Northern Ireland prescribed under section 1(6) of the Contributions and Benefits Act.
(4)Condition C is that the payment or transfer is made in connection with the termination of the recipient's employment with the employer.
(5)Condition D is that the payment or transfer is made under an employer-financed retirement benefits scheme.

“NIC charge” means a liability to pay national insurance contributions under section 6 (Class 1 contributions), section 10 (Class 1A contributions) or section 10A (Class 1B contributions) of the Contributions and Benefits Act.
(1)If the provision of a qualifying benefit—
(a)takes the form of a payment of money, and
(b)is not made under an employer-financed retirement benefits scheme,
the benefit is provided for the purposes of section 38 when the money is treated as received for the purposes of Chapter 4 of Part 2 of ITEPA 2003 (applying the rules in section 18 of that Act (receipt of money earnings)).
(2)If the provision of a qualifying benefit takes the form of a transfer of an asset, the amount provided for the purposes of section 38 is the total of—
(a)the amount (if any) spent on the asset by the third party, and
(b)in a case where the asset was transferred to the third party by the employer, the amount of the deduction that would be allowable as mentioned in subsection (1) of that section in respect of the transfer.
(3)But if the amount given by subsection (2) is more than the amount that—
(a)is charged to tax under ITEPA 2003 in respect of the transfer, or
(b)would be so charged if condition B in section 40 were met,
the deduction allowable under section 38(2) or (3) is limited to that lower amount.
(1)For the purposes of section 38(2)(a)—
(a)any qualifying benefits provided, or
(b)any qualifying expenses paid,
by the third party after the receipt by the third party of employee benefit contributions are treated as being provided or paid out of the contributions.
(2)This operates up to the total amount of the contributions reduced by the amount of any benefits or expenses previously provided or paid as mentioned in section 38(2)(a).
(3)For the purposes of section 38(3)(a) any qualifying benefits provided by the third party after the receipt by the third party of employee benefit contributions are treated as being provided out of the contributions.
(4)This operates up to the total amount of the contributions reduced by the amount of any benefits or expenses previously provided or paid as mentioned in section 38(2)(a) or (3)(a).
(5)For the purposes of this section no account is taken of any other amount received or paid by the third party.
(1)This section applies if the profits of the trade are calculated before the end of the 9 month period mentioned in section 38(2).
(2)It must be assumed, in making the calculation, that any benefits, expenses or contributions which are not provided, paid or made when the calculation is made will not be provided, paid or made before the end of that period.
(3)But if the benefits, expenses or contributions are subsequently provided, paid or made before the end of that period, nothing in this section prevents the calculation being revised and any tax return being amended accordingly.
