Part 7: Employment income: share-related income and exemptions

Chapter 2: Conditional interests in shares
Overview
Section 432: Duty to notify provision of conditional interests in shares

1861.This section derives from those parts of section 140G of ICTA concerning information requirements on the initial award of the conditional shares. Section 140G(1)(b)(i) has been omitted as unnecessary because the original award of the shares cannot itself result in any charge under section 140A of ICTA. Accordingly this section simply focuses on the possibility of there being subsequent events that may result in a charge.

1862.The time limits for providing information throughout Chapters 2 to 5 of Part 7 have been standardised at 92 days after the end of the year in which the matter arose or after the event concerned. In the source legislation for this section the time limit was 30 days after the end of the tax year in which the interest is provided. In addition where a time limit runs from the end of the tax year it is now expressed as “before 7th July” to give greater clarity. See Change 111 in Annex 1.
