Paragraph 31: Approval ineffective after unapproved alteration
3446.This paragraph derives from paragraph 4 of Schedule 9 to ICTA. An unapproved alteration to an approved CSOP option scheme is ineffective after the date of the alteration. The rule is clarified by the addition of the words “of the scheme” in the final line of sub-paragraph (1).
3447.Sub-paragraph (2) is new. It introduces an express requirement for the Inland Revenue to notify the scheme organiser of their decision to approve or not to approve an alteration. See Change 170 in Annex 1.
