(2)The consideration mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b) does not include—

(b)any amount paid or payable by the employee in pursuance of—
(i)an agreement within paragraph 3A(2) of Schedule 1 to the Contributions and Benefits Act (agreement for recovery from earner of secondary Class 1 contributions in respect of share option gain), or
(ii)an election under paragraph 3B of that Schedule (election transferring to earner liability for secondary Class 1 contributions in respect of share option gain).
