Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 Explanatory Notes

Paragraph 75: Duty to give notice of award of shares etc.

3172.This paragraph provides that the trust instrument must require the trustees to give various notices to employees. The paragraph derives from paragraph 70 of Schedule 8.

3173.Sub-paragraph (3) now has three paragraphs, as opposed to the corresponding provision in the source legislation, which had two paragraphs, one of which had two sub-paragraphs of its own. This enables sub-paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) to be brought into better alignment.

3174.Sub-paragraph (6) reproduces the definition of “foreign cash dividend” in paragraph 129(1) of Schedule 8. Although that definition is expressed to apply for the whole of Schedule 8, it is only needed for the purposes of this paragraph; and it has, accordingly, been moved.
