those earnings are chargeable to income tax under Schedule D;

the earner shall be excepted from liability to pay contributions under section 15 of the Act on those earnings.

  • This is subject to the following qualification.

It shall be a condition of exception from liability that the earner makes an application for such an exception to the Board before the beginning of the year of assessment to which the application relates, or before such later date as the Board may allow.

3

An application under paragraph (2) shall be made in such manner as the Board may direct and, for the purpose of enabling the Board to determine whether the earner is entitled to the exception, the earner shall furnish the Board with such information and evidence as the Board may require, whether the requirement is made at the time of the application or later.

4

Without prejudice to the earner’s right to any such exception, nothing in paragraphs (1) to (3) shall affect the Board’s powers under regulation 95 to defer, pending the determination of the application, the earner’s liability under section 15 of the Act.
