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

Apportionment of a payment from a retirement benefits scheme for the benefit of two or more people13

1

If, pursuant to a retirement benefits scheme, a payment is made with a view to providing any benefits under such a scheme in relation to more than one person, the amount of earnings which is comprised in that payment shall be calculated or estimated on the basis set out in whichever of subparagraphs (2) or (3) applies.

2

If the separate benefits to be provided to each of the people referred to in sub-paragraph (1) are known at the time when the payment is made, the basis is that of the separate payments which would have had to have been paid to secure the benefits.

3

In any other case, the amount of the payment shall be apportioned equally between all the persons in respect of whose earnings the payment is to be taken into account.

Valuation of non-cash vouchers14

1

The amount of earnings comprised in any payment by way of a non-cash voucher which is not otherwise disregarded by these Regulations and which falls to be taken into account in calculating an employed earner’s earnings shall be calculated on the basis set out in sub-paragraph (2).

2

The basis referred to in sub-paragraph (1) is that of an amount equal to the expense incurred (“the chargeable expense”)—

a

by the person at whose cost the voucher and the money, goods or services, for which it is capable or being exchanged, are provided;

b

in, or in connection with that provision,

and any money, goods or services obtained by the employed earner or any other person in exchange for the voucher shall be disregarded.

This is subject to the following qualification.

3

For the purpose’s of sub-paragraph (2)—

a

the chargeable expense shall be reduced by any part of that which the employed earner makes good to the person incurring it; and

b

in the case of a non-cash voucher which can be exchanged only for a meal which exceeds F15615 pence, the chargeable expense shall be reduced by the amount (if any) by which it exceeds the face value of the voucher.

Apportionment of earnings comprised in a cash or non-cash voucher provided for benefit of two or more employed earners15

1

The amount of earnings comprised in any payment by way of a cash voucher or a non-cash voucher provided for the benefit of two or more employed earners and which falls to be taken into account in computing the earnings of each of those earners shall be calculated or estimated on the basis set out in whichever of sub-paragraphs (2) or (3) applies.

2

If the respective proportion of the benefit of the voucher to which each of those earners is entitled is know at the time of the payment, the basis is that of a separate payment equal to that proportion.

3

If within 14 days of the end of any income tax period the employer has paid no amount of earnings-related contributions to the Collector under paragraph 10 or 11 for that income tax period and the Collector is unaware of the amount, if any, which the employer is liable so to pay, the Collector may give notice to the employer requiring him to render, within 14 days, a return in the prescribed form showing the amount of earnings-related contributions which the employer is liable to pay to the Collector under that paragraph in respect of the income tax period in question.

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

1

If after 14 days following the end of any income tax period the employer has paid no amount of earnings-related contributions to the Collector under paragraph 10 or 11 for that income tax period and there is reason to believe that the employer is liable to pay such contributions, the Collector, upon consideration of the employer’s record of past payments, may to the best of his judgement specify the amount of earnings-related contributions which he considers the employer is liable to pay and give notice to him of that amount.

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—

a

shall be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as an amount of earnings-related contributions which the employer was liable to pay for that income tax period in accordance with paragraph 10 or 11; and

may be certified by the Collector.

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.

Where the employer has paid no amount of earnings-related contributions under paragraph 10 or 11 for any income tax periods, a notice may be given by the Collector under sub-paragraph (1) which extends to two or more consecutive income tax periods, and this Schedule shall have effect as if those income tax periods were the latest income tax period specified in the notice.

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.
