1666.This section derives from paragraph 2 of Schedule 12 to ICTA. It contains anti-avoidance provisions against attempts to manipulate the amount of the earnings to take advantage of the relief.
1667.The rules in paragraph 2(3) of Schedule 12 to ICTA for determining associated employments end with the words “but paragraph (b) above shall not be construed as requiring an individual to be treated in any circumstances as under the control of another person”. These words did not appear to have any policy or practical purpose and have been omitted as unnecessary. The rules are now the same as in section 24 and rather than repeat them here subsection (4) contains a cross-reference to that section.
