(1)This section applies if—
(a)the shares cease, without the employee ceasing to have a beneficial interest in them, to be shares in which the employee’s interest is only conditional, or
(b)in a case where the shares have not so ceased, the employee sells or otherwise disposes of the employee’s interest or any other beneficial interest in the shares.
(2)The taxable amount determined under section 428 counts as employment income of the employee for the relevant tax year.

(4)Subsection (2) is subject to section 494 (approved SIPs: no charge on removal of restrictions).
(1)The taxable amount for the purposes of section 427 (charge on interest in shares ceasing to be only conditional or on disposal) is—

where—
MV is the market value of the employee’s interest immediately after it ceases to be only conditional or, as the case may be, at the time of the sale or other disposal, and

(c)any amount that is treated as earnings from the employee’s employment under Chapter 8 of Part 3 (taxable benefits: notional loans in respect of acquisitions of shares) in respect of the acquisition; and
(d)if the employee’s interest was acquired by the exercise of a share option, any amount that counts as employment income of the employee under section 476 (charge on employee on exercise etc. of option) in respect of the exercise.
(3)If, not later than the event referred to in section 427(1)(a) or (b) occurred in relation to the employee’s interest, a different event occurred in respect of the shares by virtue of which an amount counts as employment income of the employee under—
(a)section 449 (charge on occurrence of chargeable event), or
(b)section 453 (charge on increase in value of shares of dependent subsidiary),
that amount is a “deductible amount” for the purposes of subsection (1).
