(1)

Where this Chapter applies an authorised employer must take the following steps—

Step 1

Before making the first main relevant payment to a specified employee in a tax year, the cash equivalent of the specified benefit or benefits to be provided in that tax year must be determined in accordance with regulation 61E, 61F or 61G (methods of calculating the cash equivalent of specified benefits), as the case may be.

Step 2

Determine the number of main relevant payments to be made to the specified employee in that tax year.

Step 3

Divide the amount obtained from step 1 by the number obtained from step 2.

The resulting amount is the Taxable Amount of the Benefit.

Step 4

Add the Taxable Amount of the Benefit to the first main relevant payment.

Step 5

Deduct or repay tax on the amount obtained at step 4 in accordance with these Regulations by reference to the employee’s code if the employer has one for the employee, even if the code is the subject of an objection or appeal.

(2)

On making any subsequent main relevant payment in the tax year the authorised employer must add the Taxable Amount of the Benefit to that payment and apply step 5 of paragraph (1) to that amount.

(3)

This regulation is subject to regulations 61H, 61I, 61J, 61K and 61L (modifications to the general rule).
