SCHEDULE 2 CALCULATION OF EARNINGS FOR THE PURPOSES OF EARNINGS-RELATED CONTRIBUTIONS IN PARTICULAR CASES
Calculation of earnings1
This Schedule contains rules for the calculation of earnings in the assessment of earnings-related contributions in particular cases.
Calculation of earnings in respect of beneficial interest in assets within Part IV of Schedule 32
1
Except where paragraph 3, 4, 5 or 6 applies, the amount of earnings comprised in any payment by way of the conferment of any beneficial interest in any asset specified in Part IV of Schedule 3, which falls to be taken into account in the computation of a person’s earnings shall be calculated or estimated at a price which that beneficial interest might reasonably be expected to fetch if sold in the open market on the day on which it is conferred.
2
For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), where any asset is not quoted on a recognised stock exchange within the meaning of section 841 of the Taxes Act, it shall be assumed that, in the open market which is postulated, there is available to any prospective purchaser of the beneficial interest in the asset in question all the information which a prudent prospective purchaser might reasonably require if he were proposing to purchase if from a willing vendor by private treaty and at arm’s length.
Valuation of beneficial interest in units in a unit trust scheme3
The amount of earnings which is comprised in any payment by way of the conferment of a beneficial interest in any units in a unit trust scheme (within the meaning of section F179237 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 having a published selling price and which falls to be taken into account in the calculation of a person’s earnings shall be calculated or estimated by reference to the published selling price on the day in question.
Here “published selling price” means the lowest selling price published on the date on which the payment in question is made, and where no such price is published on that date, it means the lowest selling price published on the last previous date on which such a price was published.
Conferment of a beneficial interest in an option to acquire asset falling within Part IV of Schedule 34
The amount of earnings which is comprised in a payment by way of the conferment of a beneficial interest in an option to acquire any asset falling within Part IV of Schedule 3 shall be calculated or estimated by reference to the amount which would be comprised in accordance with paragraph 2, or, if paragraph 3, 5 or 6 would apply in accordance with that paragraph, in a payment by way of the conferment of a beneficial interest—
a
in the asset which may be acquired by the exercise of the option; or
b
where that asset (the first asset) may be exchanged for another asset (the second asset) and the value of the beneficial interest in the second asset is greater than that in the first, in that second asset,
on the day on which the beneficial interest in the option is conferred.
The amount shall be reduced by the amount or value, or, if variable, the least amount or value, of the consideration for which the asset may be so acquired.
Readily convertible assets5
1
The amount of earnings which is comprised in—
a
any payment by way of the conferment of a beneficial interest in any asset falling within Part III of Schedule 3;
b
any payment by way of the conferment of a beneficial interest in any asset falling within Part IV of Schedule 3 which is a readily convertible asset;
c
any payment by way of—
i
a voucher, stamp or similar document falling within paragraph 12 of Part IV of that Schedule where the asset for which it is capable of being converted is a readily convertible asset;
ii
a non-cash voucher not falling within Part V (whether or not also falling within paragraph 12 of Part IV of that Schedule) which is capable of being exchanged for a readily convertible asset;
and which is to be taken into account in computing a person’s earnings, shall be calculated in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) to (5).
2
In the case of an asset falling within paragraph 1 of Part III of Schedule 3 the amount is the best estimate which can reasonably be made of the amount of income likely to be chargeable to tax under Schedule E in respect of the provision of the asset.
3
In the case of an asset falling within paragraph 2 of Part III of Schedule 3, the amount is the best estimate that can reasonably be made of the amount of income likely to be chargeable to tax under Schedule E in respect of the enhancement of its value.
4
In the case of a voucher, stamp or similar document falling within—
a
sub-paragraph(1)(c); or
b
paragraph 3 of Part III of Schedule 3,
the amount is the best estimate that can reasonably be made of the amount of income likely to be chargeable to tax under Schedule E in respect of the provision of any asset for which the voucher is capable of being exchanged.
5
In the case of an asset falling within sub-paragraph(1)(b), the amount is the best estimate that can reasonably be made of the amount of income likely to be chargeable to tax under Schedule E in respect of the provision of the asset.
Assets not readily convertible: beneficial interests in alcoholic liquor on which duty has not been paid, gemstones and certain vouchers and non-cash vouchers6
The amount of earnings comprised in any payment by way of the conferment of a beneficial interest in—
a
an asset which—
i
falls within paragraph 9 or 10 of Part IV of Schedule 3 (payments by way of alcoholic liquor on which duty has not been paid or by way of gemstones not to be disregarded as payments in kind), and
ii
is not a readily convertible asset;
b
a voucher, stamp or similar document which falls within paragraph 12 of Part IV of that Schedule and which is not capable of being exchanged for a readily convertible asset; or
c
a non-cash voucher not excluded by virtue of Part 5 of that Schedule and which falls within paragraph 12 of Part IV of that Schedule (assets not to be disregarded as payments in kind) which is not capable of being exchanged for a readily convertible asset;
shall be calculated or estimated on the basis of the cost of the asset in question.
Here “the cost of the asset” in relation to any voucher, stamp or similar document includes the cost of any asset for which that voucher, stamp or similar document is capable of being exchanged.
Conditional interest in shares7
1
The amount of earnings, comprised in any payment by way of the conferment of a conditional interest in shares, falling to be taken into account in computing a person’s earnings, shall be the difference between—
a
the market value of that person’s interest immediately after—
i
the interest ceases to be only conditional, or
ii
if earlier, the sale or other disposal of that interest; and
b
the amount or value of the consideration given by that person for that interest together with any amounts which have previously been included in his earnings for the purpose of assessment of earnings-related contributions in respect of his acquisition of that interest.
The difference shall be calculated on the basis of the best estimate that can reasonably be made.
2
In this paragraph—
a
“market value” has the meaning given in section 140A(6) of the Taxes Act F49; and
b
“the amount of the consideration given” shall be calculated in accordance with section 140B of that Act as it would be for the purposes of section 140A.
Convertible interest in shares8
1
The amount of earnings comprised in any payment by way of the conferment of a beneficial interest in convertible shares and which falls to be taken into account in calculating a person’s earnings shall be the gain from their conversion.
The amount of the gain shall be calculated on the basis of the best estimate that can reasonably be made.
2
In this paragraph the gain from the conversion of convertible shares is the amount found by the formula—
Here—M is the market value at the time of conversion of the shares into which the convertible shares are converted.
For this purpose “market value” has the same meaning as in section 140F(3) of the Taxes Act.
S is the amount or value of any consideration given for the convertible shares.
For this purpose that amount or value shall be calculated in accordance with section 140E of the Taxes Act.
C is the amount or value of any consideration given for the conversion in question.
P is the amount (if any) which has previously been included in that person’s earnings for the purpose of assessment of his earnings-related contributions, in respect of his aquisition of the interest in the convertible shares.
E is the amount of any gain from an earlier conversion, if the convertible shares were acquired through a series of conversions, where that earlier conversion gave rise to a liability for earnings-related contributions, to the extent that that amount is not included inP.
For this purpose a conversion gives rise to a liability for earnings-related contributions if it—
(a)gives rise to a gain treated as earnings under regulation 22(3); or
(b)would have given rise to such a gain but for the fact that the market value of the shares at the time of the conversion of the shares into which the convertible shares were converted did not exceed the amount produced by the addition of the values forS,C,P and E applicable at the time of the relevant conversion.
Assignment or release of right to acquire shares where neither right nor shares readily convertible9
1
The amount of earnings comprised in any payment by way of a gain which a person realises by the assignment or release of a right to acquire shares in a body corporate—
a
obtained by that person as a director or employee of that or any other body corporate where neither that right nor those shares are readily convertible assets; and
b
falling to be taken into account in calculating a person’s earnings;
shall be calculated on the basis set out in sub-paragraph (2).
2
The basis is the best estimate that can reasonably be made of the difference between—
a
the amount or value of the consideration for that assignment or release; and
b
the amount or value of the consideration (if any) given for the grant of the right.
In making the estimate, a just apportionment shall be made of any entire consideration given for the grant of the right to acquire those shares and other shares or otherwise for the grant of the right to acquire those shares and for something else besides.
3
This paragraph is subject to paragraph 10.
Assignment or release of a right, acquired as director or employee before 6th April 1999, to acquire shares where neither right nor shares readily convertible10
1
The amount of earnings comprised in any payment by way of a gain which a person realises by the assignment or release of a right to acquire shares in a body corporate (“the first body corporate”), obtained by that person before 6th April 1999 as a director or employee of that or any other body corporate where neither that right nor those shares are readily convertible assets, where—
a
a subsequent right forms all or part of the consideration given for the assignment or release of the first right; and
b
that subsequent right is—
i
a right to acquire shares in the first body corporate or any other body corporate,
ii
not treated as consideration for the assignment or release of the first right by virtue of section 136(1) of the Taxes Act; and
iii
acquired at a total discount on the total market value which is substantially greater than the total discount on the total market value of the first right at the time of its assignment or release;
shall be calculated on the basis set out in sub-paragraph (2).
2
The basis is the best estimate which can reasonably be made of the difference between the total discount on the subsequent right and the total discount on the first right.
Exercise of right to acquire shares gained as director or employee before 6th April 199911
1
The amount of earnings comprised in any payment by way of gain which a person realises by the exercise of a right to acquire shares in a body corporate obtained by that person as a director or employee of that or any other body corporate, where—
a
that right—
i
formed all or part of the consideration given for the assignment or release of a right which was obtained before 6th April 1999 (“the first right”) to acquire shares in a body corporate (“the first body corporate”),
ii
is a right to acquire shares in the first body corporate or any other body corporate; and
iii
was not treated as consideration for the assignment or release of the first right by virtue of section 136(1) of the Taxes Act; and
b
at the time of its acquisition, the total market value of the subsequent right was not similar to the total market value of the first right immediately before its assignment or release,
and which falls to be taken into account in computing a person’s earnings, shall be calculated or estimated in accordance with sub-paragraph (2).
2
The basis of calculating or estimating the amount of a gain realised by the exercise at any time of a subsequent right shall be the best estimate that can reasonably be made of such part of that gain as relates to the difference between—
a
the amount that a person might reasonably expect to obtain from a sale in the open market at the time that the shares were acquired pursuant to that subsequent right, less the amount or value of the consideration (if any) given for those shares and the grant of that right; and
b
the amount that a person might reasonably expect to obtain from a sale in the open market of the shares which were the subject of the first right at the time of its assignment or release less the amount of value of the consideration (if any) given for those shares and the grant of that right.
3
For the purpose of sub-paragraph (2) “gain” means the amount realised by the exercise of a subsequent right, less any amount which has previously been included in that person’s earnings for the purposes of assessing his earnings-related contributions in respect of his acquisition, assignment or release of the first right.
In making the estimate, a just apportionment shall be made of any entire consideration given for the grant of the right to acquire those shares and other shares or otherwise for the grant of the right to acquire those shares and for something else besides.
Interpretation of paragraphs 9, 10 and 1112
This paragraph applies for the purposes of paragraph 9, 10 and 11.
In those paragraphs—
a
“the total market value” means the price which the shares which are the subject of the right in question might reasonably be expected to fetch on sale in the open market;
b
the total market value of the subsequent right is similar to the total market value of the first right if it is not substantially greater than the first right;
c
“total discount” means the difference between the total value of the exercise price of the shares that are the subject of the right in question and the total market value of that right;
d
neither the consideration given for the grant of the right nor any entire consideration shall be taken to include the performance of any duties of or in connection with the office or employment by reason of which the right was granted and no part of the amount or value of the consideration given for the grant shall be deducted more than once;
e
“shares”, so far as the context permits, includes stock; and
f
“body corporate” includes—
i
a body corporate constituted under the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom; and
ii

Sub-paragraph (2) applies only if—
a
the over-deduction occurred by reason of an error by the employer in good faith;

2
Where a notice given by the Collector under sub-paragraph (1) extends to two or more consequent income tax periods, the provisions of this Schedule shall have effect as if those income tax periods were one income tax period.
3
If the Collector is not satisfied that an amount of earnings-related contributions paid to him under paragraph 10 or 11 for any income tax period is the full amount which the employer is liable to pay to him, the Collector may give a notice under sub-paragraph (1) despite the payment of that amount.
Specified amount of earnings-related contributions payable by the employer15

2
If, on the expiration of the period of 7 days allowed in the notice, the specified amount of earnings-related contributions or any part thereof is unpaid, the amount so unpaid—

may be certified by the Collector.
3
The provisions of sub-paragraph (2) shall not apply if, during the period allowed in the notice, the employer pays to the Collector the full amount of earnings-related contributions which the employer is liable to pay under paragraph 10 or 11 for that income tax period, or the employer satisfies the Collector that no amount of such contributions is due.
4
The production of a certificate such as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) shall, until the contrary is established, be sufficient evidence that the employer is liable to pay to the Collector the amount shown in it; and any document purporting to be such a certificate as aforesaid shall be deemed to be such a certificate until the contrary is proved.
Paragraph 16 shall apply, with any necessary modifications, to the amount shown in the certificate.

6
A notice may be given by the Collector under sub-paragraph (1) notwithstanding that an amount of earnings-related contributions has been paid to him by the employer under paragraph 10 or 11 for any income tax period, if, after seeking the employer’s explanation as to the amount of earnings-related contributions paid, the Collector is not satisfied that the amount so paid is the full amount which the employer is liable to pay to him for that period, and this paragraph shall have effect accordingly, save that sub-paragraph (2) shall not apply if, during the period allowed in the notice, the employer satisfies the Collector that no further amount of earnings-related contributions is due for the relevant income tax period.
7
Where, during the period allowed in a notice given by the Collector under sub-paragraph (1), the employer claims, but does not satisfy the Collector, that the payment of earnings-related contributions made in respect of any income tax period specified in the notice is the full amount of earnings-related contributions he is liable to pay to the Collector for that period, the employer may require the Collector to inspect the employer’s documents and records as if the Collector had called upon the employer to produce those documents and records in accordance with paragraph 26(1) and the provisions of paragraph 26 shall apply in relation to that inspection, and the notice given by the Collector under sub-paragraph (1) shall be disregarded in relation to any subsequent time.
8
Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph, if the employer pays any amount of earnings-related contributions certified by the Collector under it and that amount exceeds the amount which he would have been liable to pay in respect of that income tax period apart from this paragraph, he shall be entitled to set off such excess against any amount which he is liable to pay to the Collector under paragraph 10 or 11 for any subsequent income tax period.
9
If, after the end of the year, the employer renders the return required by paragraph 22(1) and the total earnings-related contributions he has paid in respect of that year in accordance with this Schedule exceeds the total amount of such contributions due for that year, any excess not otherwise recovered by set-off shall be repaid.
