(b) had there been any earnings from the employment for that tax year, they would not have been general earnings to which any of those sections applied.

(1A) Chapters 2, 3 and 4 do not apply in relation to employment-related securities if the acquisition occurs in the UK part of a tax year that is a split year as respects the employee and—

(a) the acquisition takes place in the overseas part of a tax year that is a split year as respects the employee,

(c) had it not been a split year—
