1. This Schedule contains rules for the calculation of earnings in the assessment of earnings-related contributions in particular cases.
2.—(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.
3. 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 [F49237 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.

(a)in the asset which may be acquired by the exercise of the option; or

(a)any payment by way of the conferment of a beneficial interest in any asset falling within Part III of Schedule 3;

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 [F50the amount of general earnings] 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 [F50the amount of general earnings] 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 [F50the amount of general earnings] 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 [F50the amount of general earnings] in respect of the provision of the asset.

(a)in accordance with this paragraph so far as it is made pursuant to optional remuneration arrangements; and
(b)in accordance with any other treatment that is applicable so far as it is made otherwise than pursuant to such arrangements.]

(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) In any case where the respective proportions are not know at the time of the payment, the basis is equal apportionment between all those earners.
(4) In this paragraph—
(a)“chargeable expense” has the same meaning, and is calculated in the same way, as in paragraph 14; and

(2) In this paragraph a “qualifying childcare voucher” means a non-cash voucher in relation to which conditions A to D (see sub-paragraphs (7) to (11)) are met.
(3) Where the chargeable expense of the voucher exceeds the exempt amount, only that amount shall be disregarded by virtue of sub-paragraph (1).
(4) The exempt amount is the amount found by the formula—
Here—
E is, in the case of an employee the sum of—
[F109£25,] if the relevant earnings amount for the tax year, as estimated in accordance with Condition D, exceeds the higher rate limit for the tax year;
£28, if the relevant earnings amount for the tax year, as estimated in accordance with Condition D, exceeds the basic rate limit but does not exceed the higher rate limit for the tax year; or

for which the earner has been employed by the secondary contributor during the tax year in which the qualifying childcare voucher is provided; and
for which no other qualifying childcare voucher has been provided by the secondary contributor.

(11) Condition D is that the employer has, at the required time, made an estimate of the employee’s relevant earnings amount for the tax year in respect of which the voucher is provided.
(12) In sub-paragraph (11) “the required time”, in the case of an employee, means—

(b)the aggregate of any excluded amounts (see sub-paragraph (16)).
(14) But if the employee becomes employed by the employer during the tax year, what would otherwise be the amount of the aggregate mentioned in sub-paragraph (13)(a) is the relevant multiple of that amount; and the relevant multiple is—

“the original right” means the right, acquired before 6th April 1999, to acquire shares in a body corporate; and
“replacement right” means a right to acquire shares, obtained, whether as the result of one transaction or a series of transactions, and whether directly or indirectly, in consequence of—
the assignment or release of the original right; or

(4) This sub-paragraph is satisfied in respect of a transaction through which the replacement right was obtained if A is not substantially greater than R.
Here—
A is the market value of the shares which may be obtained by the exercise of the right acquired on that occasion, less any consideration which would have to be given on that occasion by or on behalf of the earner if that right were to be exercised immediately after its acquisition (disregarding any restriction on its exercise); and

15.—(1) If after [F46217 days] following the end of any F463... tax period the employer has paid no amount of earnings-related contributions to [F464HMRC] under paragraph 10 or 11 for that F463... tax period and there is reason to believe that the employer is liable to pay such contributions, [F464HMRC], upon consideration of the employer’s record of past payments [F465whether of earnings-related contributions or of combined amounts,] may to the best of [F466their judgment] specify the amount of earnings-related contributions [F467or of a combined amount] which [F468they consider] the employer is liable to pay and give notice to him of that amount.
[F469(1A) For the purposes of this paragraph “combined amount” is an amount which includes earnings-related contributions due under these regulations and one or more of the following—

(2) If, on the expiration of the period of 7 days allowed in the notice, the specified amount F472... or any part thereof is unpaid, the amount so unpaid—

(b)may be certified by [F474HMRC].

(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 [F476HMRC] 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 [F478HMRC] under sub-paragraph (1) notwithstanding that an amount of earnings-related contributions has been paid F479... by the employer under paragraph 10 or 11 for any F463... tax period, if, after seeking the employer’s explanation as to the amount of earnings-related contributions paid, [F478HMRC] is not satisfied that the amount so paid is the full amount which the employer is liable to pay F479... 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 [F478HMRC] that no further amount of earnings-related contributions is due for the relevant F463... tax period.
(7) Where, during the period allowed in a notice given by [F480HMRC] under sub-paragraph (1), the employer claims, but does not satisfy [F480HMRC], that the payment F481... made in respect of any F463... tax period specified in the notice is [F482or includes] the full amount of earnings-related contributions he is liable to pay to [F480HMRC] for that period, the employer may require [F480HMRC] to inspect the employer’s documents and records as if [F480HMRC] had called upon the employer to produce those documents and records in accordance with [F483Schedule 36 to the Finance Act 2008 (information and inspection powers) and the provisions of paragraph 26A] shall apply in relation to that inspection, and the notice given by [F480HMRC] 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 [F484HMRC] under it [F485whether separately or as part of a combined amount] and that amount exceeds the amount which he would have been liable to pay in respect of that F463... 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 [F484HMRC] under paragraph 10 or 11 for any subsequent F463... 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.
