If the scheme was an approved SAYE option scheme immediately before 6 April 2014, this paragraph applies to any provision which the scheme contains immediately before that date and which requires the approval or agreement of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs or an officer of Revenue and Customs to be obtained in relation to any matter.

On and after 6 April 2014, the provision is to have effect without the requirement for the approval or agreement, unless the requirement reflects a requirement for approval or agreement set out in Schedule 3 to ITEPA 2003 (as amended by this Part).
