Nothing in the EMI code affects—

a

the operation of Chapters 2 to 4 of this Part in relation to shares acquired under a qualifying option, or

b

the operation of Chapter 5 of this Part otherwise than in relation to the acquisition of shares under a qualifying option.

But in calculating the taxable amount for the purposes of section 426 (post-acquisition charge on restricted securities) in respect of shares acquired under a qualifying option, the amount of relief on the exercise of the option is to be regarded as a deductible amount for the purposes of section 428 (amount of charge).

The amount of relief on the exercise of the option” means the difference between—

a

the amount that would have counted as employment income by virtue of section 476 in respect of the exercise of the option apart from the EMI code, and

b

the amount (if any) that in fact counts as such income in accordance with the EMI code.
