(b)payments are made (directly or indirectly) to the individual (or associates of the individual) of an amount equal to the greater part or all of the consideration for the provision of the services,

(2)The MSC is treated as making to the worker, and the worker is treated as receiving, a payment which is to be treated as earnings from an employment (“the deemed employment payment”).
(3)The deemed employment payment is treated as made at the time the payment or benefit mentioned in subsection (1)(b) is received.
(4)In this Chapter—
“the worker” has the meaning given by subsection (1),
“the relevant services” means the services mentioned in that subsection, and
“the client” means the person to whom the relevant services are provided.
(5)Section 61F supplements this section.
(1)The amount of the deemed employment payment is the amount resulting from the following steps—

Find (applying section 61F) the amount of the payment or benefit mentioned in section 61D(1)(b).

(a)the worker had been employed by the client to provide the relevant services, and
(b)the expenses had been met by the worker out of those earnings.
If the result at this point is nil or a negative amount, there is no deemed employment payment.
Step 3
Assume that the result of step 2 represents an amount together with employer's national insurance contributions on it, and deduct what (on that assumption) would be the amount of those contributions.
The result is the deemed employment payment.
(2)In step 2 of subsection (1), the reference to expenses met by the worker includes, where the MSC is a partnership and the worker is a member of the partnership, expenses met by the worker for and on behalf of the partnership.
(3)In step 2 of subsection (1), the expenses deductible include the amount of any mileage allowance relief which the worker would have been entitled to in respect of the use of a vehicle falling within subsection (4) if—

(5)For the purposes of subsection (1) any necessary apportionment of payments or benefits that are referable partly to the provision of the relevant services and partly to other matters is to be made on a just and reasonable basis.
(1)The following provisions apply for the purposes of sections 61D and 61E.
(2)A “payment or benefit” means anything that, if received by an employee for performing the duties of an employment, would be general earnings from the employment.
(3)The amount of a payment or benefit is taken to be—
(a)in the case of a payment or cash benefit, the amount received, and
(b)in the case of a non-cash benefit, the cash equivalent of the benefit.
(4)The cash equivalent of a non-cash benefit is taken to be—
(a)the amount that would be general earnings if the benefit were general earnings from an employment, or
(b)in the case of living accommodation, whichever is the greater of that amount and the cash equivalent determined in accordance with section 398(2).
(5)A payment or benefit is treated as received—
(a)in the case of a payment or cash benefit, when payment is made of or on account of the payment or benefit;
(b)in the case of a non-cash benefit, when it would have been treated as received for the purposes of Chapter 4 or 5 of this Part (see section 19 or 32) if—
(i)the worker had been an employee, and
(ii)the benefit had been provided by reason of the employment.
(1)The Income Tax Acts (in particular, the PAYE provisions) apply in relation to the deemed employment payment as follows.
(2)They apply as if—
(a)the worker were employed by the MSC to provide the relevant services, and
(b)the deemed employment payment were a payment by the MSC of earnings from that employment;
but this is subject to subsection (3).
(3)No deduction under Part 5 (deductions allowed from employment income) or section 232 (mileage allowance relief) may be made from the deemed employment payment.
(4)The worker is not chargeable to tax in respect of the deemed employment payment if, or to the extent that, by reason of any combination of the factors mentioned in subsection (5), the worker would not be chargeable to tax if—
(a)the worker were employed by the client to perform the relevant services, and
(b)the deemed employment payment were a payment by the client of earnings from that employment.
(5)The factors are—
(a)the worker being resident, ordinarily resident or domiciled outside the United Kingdom,
(b)the client being resident or ordinarily resident outside the United Kingdom, and
(c)the relevant services being provided outside the United Kingdom.
(6)Where the MSC is a partnership and the worker is a member of the partnership, the deemed employment payment is treated as received by the worker in the worker's personal capacity and not as income of the partnership.
(7)Where—
(a)the worker is resident in the United Kingdom, and
(b)the relevant services are provided in the United Kingdom,
the MSC is treated as having a place of business in the United Kingdom, whether or not it in fact does so.
(1)A claim for relief may be made under this section where the MSC—
(a)is a body corporate,
(b)is treated as making a deemed employment payment in any tax year, and
(c)either in that tax year (whether before or after that payment is treated as made), or in a subsequent tax year, makes a distribution (a “relevant distribution”).
(2)A claim for relief under this section must be made—

3A(1)This paragraph applies where a document of a kind listed in the Table in paragraph 1 is given to HMRC by a person (“P”) and the document contains an inaccuracy which—U.K.
(a)falls within paragraph 1(2), and
(b)arises because the document is submitted on the basis that particular avoidance arrangements (within the meaning of paragraph 3B) had an effect which in fact they did not have.
(2)It is to be presumed that the inaccuracy was careless, within the meaning of paragraph 3, unless—
(a)the inaccuracy was deliberate on P's part, or
(b)P satisfies HMRC or (on an appeal notified to the tribunal) the tribunal that P took reasonable care to avoid inaccuracy.
(3)In considering whether P took reasonable care to avoid inaccuracy, HMRC and (on an appeal notified to the tribunal) the tribunal must take no account of any evidence of any reliance by P on advice where the advice is disqualified.
(4)Advice is “disqualified” if any of the following applies—
(a)the advice was given to P by an interested person;
(b)the advice was given to P as a result of arrangements made between an interested person and the person who gave the advice;
(c)the person who gave the advice did not have appropriate expertise for giving the advice;
(d)the advice took no account of P's individual circumstances;
(e)the advice was addressed to, or given to, a person other than P;
but this is subject to sub-paragraphs (5) and (7).
(5)Where (but for this sub-paragraph) advice would be disqualified under any of paragraphs (a) to (c) of sub-paragraph (4), the advice is not disqualified under that paragraph if at the relevant time P—
(a)has taken reasonable steps to find out whether the advice falls within that paragraph, and
(b)reasonably believes that it does not.
(6)In sub-paragraph (4) “an interested person” means—
(a)a person, other than P, who participated in the avoidance arrangements or any transaction forming part of them, or
(b)a person who for any consideration (whether or not in money) facilitated P's entering into the avoidance arrangements.
(7)Where (but for this sub-paragraph) advice would be disqualified under paragraph (a) of sub-paragraph (4) because it was given by a person within sub-paragraph (6)(b), the advice is not disqualified under that paragraph if—
(a)the person giving the advice had appropriate expertise for giving it,
(b)the advice took account of P's individual circumstances, and
(c)at the time when the question whether the advice is disqualified arises—
(i)Condition E in paragraph 3B(5) is met in relation to the avoidance arrangements, but
(ii)none of Conditions A to D in paragraph 3B(5) is or has at any time been met in relation to them.
(8)If the document mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) is given to HMRC by P as a personal representative of a deceased person (“D”)—
(a)sub-paragraph (4) is to be read as if—
(i)the references in paragraphs (a) and (b) to P were to P or D;
(ii)the reference in paragraph (d) to P were to D, and
(iii)the reference in paragraph (e) to a person other than P were to a person who is neither P nor D,
(b)sub-paragraph (6) is to be read as if—
(i)the reference in paragraph (a) to P were a reference to the person to whom the advice was given, and
(ii)the reference in paragraph (b) to P were to D (or, where P also participated in the avoidance arrangements, P or D), and
(c)sub-paragraph (7) is to be read as if the reference in paragraph (b) to P were to D.
(9)In this paragraph—
“arrangements” includes any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable);
“the relevant time” means the time when the document mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) is given to HMRC;
“the tribunal” has the same meaning as in paragraph 17 (see paragraph 17(5A)).
3B(1)In paragraph 3A “avoidance arrangements” means, subject to sub-paragraph (3), arrangements which fall within sub-paragraph (2).U.K.
(2)Arrangements fall within this sub-paragraph if, having regard to all the circumstances, it would be reasonable to conclude that the obtaining of a tax advantage was the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the arrangements.
(3)Arrangements are not avoidance arrangements for the purposes of paragraph 3A if (although they fall within sub-paragraph (2))—
(a)they are arrangements which accord with established practice, and
(b)HMRC had, at the time the arrangements were entered into, indicated its acceptance of that practice.
(4)If, at any time, any of Conditions A to E is met in relation to particular arrangements—
(a)for the purposes of this Schedule the arrangements are to be taken to fall within (and always to have fallen within) sub-paragraph (2), and
(b)in relation to the arrangements, sub-paragraph (3) (and the reference to it in sub-paragraph (1)) are to be treated as omitted.
This does not prevent arrangements from falling within sub-paragraph (2) other than by reason of one or more of Conditions A to E being met.
(5)Conditions A to E are as follows—
(a)Condition A is that the arrangements are DOTAS arrangements within the meaning given by section 219(5) and (6) of FA 2014;

(ii)that tax advantage has been counteracted under section 209 of FA 2013;
(d)Condition D is that a follower notice under section 204 of FA 2014 has been given to P by reference to the arrangements (and not withdrawn) and—
(i)the necessary corrective action for the purposes of section 208 of FA 2014 has been taken in respect of the denied advantage, or
(ii)the denied advantage has been counteracted otherwise than as mentioned in sub-paragraph (i);
(e)Condition E is that a tax advantage asserted by reference to the arrangements has been counteracted (by an assessment, an amendment of a return or claim, or otherwise) on the basis that an avoidance-related rule applies in relation to P's affairs.
(6)The provisions referred to in sub-paragraph (5)(c)(i) are—
(a)paragraph 12 of Schedule 43 to FA 2013 (general anti-abuse rule: notice of final decision);
(b)paragraph 8 or 9 of Schedule 43A to that Act (pooled or bound arrangements: notice of final decision);
(c)paragraph 8 of Schedule 43B to that Act (generic referrals: notice of final decision).
(7)In sub-paragraph (5)(d) the reference to giving a follower notice to P includes giving a partnership follower notice in respect of a partnership return in relation to which P is a relevant partner; and for the purposes of this sub-paragraph—
(a)“relevant partner” has the meaning given by paragraph 2(5) of Schedule 31 to FA 2014;
(b)a partnership follower notice is given “in respect of” the partnership return mentioned in paragraph 2(2)(a) or (b) of that Schedule.
(8)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (5)(d) it does not matter whether the denied advantage has been dealt with—
(a)wholly as mentioned in one or other of sub-paragraphs (i) and (ii) of sub-paragraph (5)(d), or
(b)partly as mentioned in one of those sub-paragraphs and partly as mentioned in the other;
and “the denied advantage” has the same meaning as in Chapter 2 of Part 4 of FA 2014 (see section 208(3) of and paragraph 4(3) of Schedule 31 to that Act).
(9)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (5)(e) a tax advantage has been “asserted by reference to” the arrangements if a return, claim or appeal has been made by P on the basis that the tax advantage results from the arrangements.
(10)In this paragraph—
“arrangements” has the same meaning as in paragraph 3A;
“avoidance-related rule” has the same meaning as in Part 4 of Schedule 18 to FA 2016 (see paragraph 25 of that Schedule);
a “tax advantage” includes—

repayment or increased repayment of tax,
avoidance or reduction of a charge to tax or an assessment to tax,
avoidance of a possible assessment to tax,
deferral of a payment of tax or advancement of a repayment of tax,
