for the whole or a part of any liability of the secondary contributor to contributions on any F392such income to be transferred to the earner; and
b

2
Any liability which—
a
arises while the election is in force, and

is a liability to pay the contributions on F361relevant employment income of the earner, or the part of it, to which the election relates,
shall be treated for the purposes of this Act, the Administration Act and Part III of the M1Social Security Contributions (Transfer of Functions, etc.) (Northern Ireland) Order 1999 as a liability falling on the earner, instead of on the secondary contributor.
3
Subject to F247sub-paragraphs (7)(b) and (7B) below, an election made for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) above shall continue in force from the time when it is made until whichever of the following first occurs, namely—

6
If, at any time after they have given an approval for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(b) above, it appears to the Inland Revenue—
a
that the arrangements that were made or are in force for securing that liabilities transferred by elections to which the approval relates are met are proving inadequate or unsatisfactory in any respect, or
b
that any election to which the approval relates has resulted, or is likely to result, in the avoidance or non-payment of the whole or any part of any secondary Class 1 contributions,
the Inland Revenue may withdraw the approval by notice to the secondary contributor.
7
The withdrawal by the Inland Revenue of any approval given for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(b) above—
a
may be either general or confined to a particular election or to particular elections; and
b
shall have the effect that the election to which the withdrawal relates has no effect on contributions F240on relevant employment income if—
i
that income is within sub-paragraph (1A)(a) or (b) and the securities, or interest in securities, to which it relates were or was acquired after the withdrawal date, or

a
relevant employment income which is employment income of the earner by virtue of Chapter 3A of Part 7 of ITEPA 2003 (employment income: securities with artificially depressed market value)F286, or
b
any liability, or any part of any liability, to a contribution arising as a result of regulations being given retrospective effect by virtue of section 4B(2) (earnings: power to make retrospective provision in consequence of retrospective tax legislation).

a
dismiss the appeal;
b
remit the decision appealed against to the Inland Revenue with a direction to make such decision as the F329tribunal thinks fit; or

11
Regulations made by the Inland Revenue may make provision with respect to the making of elections for the purposes of this paragraph and the giving of approvals for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(b) above; and any such regulations may, in particular—

This paragraph applies where regulations under F33sub-paragraph (1) of paragraph 6 above make provision requiring any return which is to be made in accordance with a specified provision of regulations under F33that sub-paragraph (the “contributions return”) to be made—
a
at the same time as any specified return required to be made in accordance with a provision of F181PAYE regulations or regulations made underF410section 70(1)(a) or 71 (sub-contractors) of the Finance Act 2004 to which section 98A of the M4Taxes Management Act 1970 applies (the “tax return”); or

Where this paragraph applies, regulations under F34paragraph 6(1) above may provide that section 98A of the M5Taxes Management Act 1970 (penalties for late, fraudulent or negligent returns) shall apply in relation to any specified provision of regulations in accordance with which the contributions return is required to be made; and where they so provide then, subject to the following provisions of this paragraph—

b
an officer of the Inland Revenue authorised for the purposes of section 100 of that Act has determined that a penalty is to be imposed under that provision in respect of both returns,
the penalty so imposed shall be a single penalty of an amount not exceeding the limit determined under sub-paragraph (5) below.

a
subsection (2) shall have effect with the omission of the words “England, Wales or” and paragraphs (a) and (b); and

12
F42A penalty under section 98A of that Act as it applies by virtue of this paragraph shall not be imposed where—

Interpretation
8
1
In this Part of this Schedule “salary related contracted-out scheme”, “money purchase contracted-out scheme” and “appropriate personal pension scheme” have the same meanings as in the Pensions Act.

For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule the assumed surplus in the pensioner’s earnings factor for the year is the surplus there would be in that factor for the year if section 44A(1) of the Pensions Act (no primary Class 1 contributions deemed to be paid) did not apply in relation to any tax week falling in the year.
3
Section 44A above shall be ignored in applying section 44(6) above for the purposes of calculating amount B.
4
For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule—
a
the value of N is 0.5 for each tax year by which the tax year in which the pensioner attained pensionable age precedes 2009-10;
b
“LET” means the low earnings threshold for that year as specified in section 44A above;
c
“QEF” is the qualifying earnings factor for the tax year concerned;
F191d
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
5
In the calculation of “2QEF” the amount produced by doubling QEF shall be rounded to the nearest whole £100 (taking any amount of £50 as nearest to the previous whole £100).
6
In this Part of this Schedule “final relevant year” has the same meaning as in section 44 above.
PART IV OTHER CASES
9
The Department may make regulations containing provisions for finding the amount for a tax year in—
a
cases where the circumstances relating to the pensioner change in the course of the year;
b
such other cases as the Department thinks fit.

F2992
Otherwise, the flat rate amount is calculated by increasing the FRAA by the percentage by which earnings factors for 2015-16 are directed to be increased by the last order under section 130 of the Administration Act to come into operation before the end of the final relevant year.
5
The earnings-related amount for the year is calculated as follows—
b
multiply that amount in accordance with the last order under section 130 of the Administration Act to come into force before the end of the final relevant year;
c
multiply the amount found under sub-paragraph (b) above by 10 per cent.;

SCHEDULE 6 Assessment of Extent of Disablement
General provisions as to method of assessment
1
For the purposes of section F118. . . 103 above and Part II of Schedule 7 to this Act, the extent of disablement shall be assessed, by reference to the disabilities incurred by the claimant as a result of the relevant loss of faculty, in accordance with the following general principles—
a
except as provided in paragraphs (b) to (d) below, the disabilities to be taken into account shall be all disabilities so incurred (whether or not involving loss of earning power or additional expense) to which the claimant may be expected, having regard to his physical and mental condition at the date of the assessment, to be subject during the period taken into account by the assessment as compared with a person of the same age and sex whose physical and mental condition is normal;
b
F118. . . regulations may make provision as to the extent (if any) to which any disabilities are to be taken into account where they are disabilities which, though resulting from the relevant loss of faculty, also result, or without the relevant accident might have been expected to result, from a cause other than the relevant accident;
c
the assessment shall be made without reference to the particular circumstances of the claimant other than age, sex, and physical and mental condition;
d
the disabilities resulting from such loss of faculty as may be prescribed shall be taken as amounting to 100 per cent. disablement and other disabilities shall be assessed accordingly.
2
Provision may be made by regulations for further defining the principles on which the extent of disablement is to be assessed and such regulations may in particular direct that a prescribed loss of faculty shall be treated as resulting in a prescribed degree of disablement; and, in connection with any such direction, nothing in paragraph 1(c) above prevents the making of different provision, in the case of loss of faculty in or affecting hand or arm, for right-handed and for left-handed persons.
3
Regulations under paragraph 1(d) or 2 above may include provision—
a
for adjusting or reviewing an assessment made before the date of the coming into force of those regulations;
b
for any resulting alteration of that assessment to have effect as from that date;
so however that no assessment shall be reduced by virtue of this paragraph.

C181
Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) below, the period to be taken into account by an assessment for the purposes of section 103 above and Part II of Schedule 7 to this Act of the extent of a claimant’s disablement shall be the period (beginning not earlier than the end of the period of 90 days referred to in section 103(6) above and in paragraph 9(3) of that Schedule and limited by reference either to the claimant’s life or to a definite date) during which the claimant has suffered and may be expected to continue to suffer from the relevant loss of faculty.
2
If on any assessment the condition of the claimant is not such, having regard to the possibility of changes in that condition (whether predictable or not), as to allow of a final assessment being made up to the end of the period provided by sub-paragraph (1) above, then, subject to sub-paragraph (3) below—
a
a provisional assessment shall be made, taking into account such shorter period only as seems reasonable having regard to his condition and that possibility; and
b
on the next assessment the period to be taken into account shall begin with the end of the period taken into account by the provisional assessment.
3
Where the assessed extent of a claimant’s disablement amounts to less than 14 per cent. then, subject to sub-paragraphs (4) and (5) below, that assessment shall be a final assessment and the period to be taken into account by it shall not end before the earliest date on which it seems likely that the extent of the disablement will be less than 1 per cent.
4
Sub-paragraph (3) above does not apply in any case where it seems likely that—
a
the assessed extent of the disablement will be aggregated with the assessed extent of any present disablement, and
b
that aggregate will amount to 14 per cent. or more.
5
Where the extent of the claimant’s disablement is assessed at different percentages for different parts of the period taken into account by the assessment, then—
a
sub-paragraph (3) above does not apply in relation to the assessment unless the percentage assessed for the latest part of that period is less than 14 per cent., and
b
in any such case that sub-paragraph shall apply only in relation to that part of that period (and subject to sub-paragraph (4) above).
7
An assessment for the purposes of section 103 above and Part II of Schedule 7 to this Act shall—
a
state the degree of disablement in the form of a percentage;
b
specify the period taken into account by the assessment; and
c
where that period is limited by reference to a definite date, specify whether the assessment is provisional or final;
but the percentage and the period shall not be specified more particularly than is necessary for the purpose of determining in accordance with section 103 above and Parts II and IV of Schedule 7 to this Act the claimant’s rights as to disablement pension and gratuity and reduced earnings allowance (whether or not a claim has been made).

8
1
Where a beneficiary—
a
has been awarded an increase of benefit under paragraph 4 or 6 above, but
b
ceases to be entitled to the increase by reason only that the weekly earnings of some other person (“the relevant earner”) exceed the amount of the increase or, as the case may be, some specified amount,
then, if and so long as the beneficiary would have continued to be entitled to the increase, disregarding any such excess of earnings, the award shall continue in force but the increase shall not be payable for any week if the earnings relevant to that week exceed the amount of the increase or, as the case may be, the specified amount.
2
In this paragraph the earnings which are relevant to any week are those earnings of the relevant earner which, apart from this paragraph, would be taken into account in determining whether the beneficiary is entitled to the increase in question for that week.
Part II Disablement Gratuity

Part III Increase of Disablement Pension During Hospital Treatment
10
1
This Part of this Schedule has effect in relation to a period during which a person is receiving medical treatment as an in-patient in a hospital or similar institution and which—
a
commenced before 6th April 1987; or
b
commenced after that date but within a period of 28 days from the end of the period during which he last received an increase of benefit under section 62 of the 1975 Act or this paragraph in respect of such treatment for the relevant injury or loss of faculty.
2
Where a person is awarded disablement benefit, but the extent of his disablement is assessed for the period taken into account by the assessment at less than 100 per cent., it shall be treated as assessed at 100 per cent. for any part of that period, whether before or after the making of the assessment or the award of benefit, during which he receives, as an in-patient in a hospital or similar institution, medical treatment for the relevant injury or loss of faculty.
3
Where the extent of the disablement is assessed for that period at less than 20 per cent., sub-paragraph (2) above shall not affect the assessment; but in the case of a disablement pension payable by virtue of this paragraph to a person awarded a disablement gratuity wholly or partly in respect of the same period, the weekly rate of the pension (after allowing for any increase under Part V of this Act) shall be reduced by the amount prescribed as being the weekly value of his gratuity.
Part IV Reduced Earnings Allowance
11
C121
Subject to the provisions of this paragraph, an employed earner shall be entitled to reduced earnings allowance if—
a
he is entitled to a disablement pension or would be so entitled if that pension were payable where disablement is assessed at not less than 1 per cent.; and
b
as a result of the relevant loss of faculty, he is either—
i
incapable, and likely to remain permanently incapable, of following his regular occupation; and
ii
incapable of following employment of an equivalent standard which is suitable in his case,
or is, and has at all times since the end of the period of 90 days referred to in section 103(6) above been, incapable of following that occupation or any such employment;
but a person shall not be entitled to reduced earnings allowance to the extent that the M9relevant loss of faculty results from an accident happening on or after 1st October 1990 (the day on which Article 5 of the Social Security (Northern Ireland) Order 1990 came into operation).
2
A person—
a
who immediately before that date is entitled to reduced earnings allowance in consequence of the relevant accident; but
b
who subsequently ceases to be entitled to that allowance for one or more days,
shall not again be entitled to reduced earnings allowance in consequence of that accident; but this sub-paragraph does not prevent the making at any time of a claim for, or an award of, reduced earnings allowance in consequence of that accident for a period which commences not later than the day after that on which the claimant was last entitled to that allowance in consequence of that accident.
3
For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) above—
a
a person who, apart from section 103(6) above, would have been entitled to reduced earnings allowance immediately before 1st October 1990 shall be treated as entitled to that allowance on any day (including a Sunday) on which he would have been entitled to it apart from that provision;
b
regulations may prescribe other circumstances in which a person is to be treated as entitled, or as having been entitled, to reduced earnings allowance on any prescribed day.
4
The Department may by regulations provide that in prescribed circumstances employed earner’s employment in which a claimant was engaged when the relevant accident took place but which was not his regular occupation is to be treated as if it had been his regular occupation.
5
In sub-paragraph (1) above—
a
references to a person’s regular occupation are to be taken as not including any subsidiary occupation, except to the extent that they fall to be treated as including such an occupation by virtue of regulations under sub-paragraph (4) above; and
b
employment of an equivalent standard is to be taken as not including employment other than employed earner’s employment;
and in assessing the standard of remuneration in any employment, including a person’s regular occupation, regard is to be had to his reasonable prospect of advancement.
6
For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule a person’s regular occupation is to be treated as extending to and including employment in the capacities to which the persons in that occupation (or a class or description of them to which he belonged at the time of the relevant accident) are in the normal course advanced, and to which, if he had continued to follow that occupation without having suffered the relevant loss of faculty, he would have had at least the normal prospects of advancement; and so long as he is, as a result of the relevant loss of faculty, deprived in whole or in part of those prospects, he is to be treated as incapable of following that occupation.
7
Regulations may for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule provide that a person is not to be treated as capable of following an occupation or employment merely because of his working thereat during a period of trial or for purposes of rehabilitation or training or in other prescribed circumstances.
