Sections 501 to 508 apply for income tax purposes in connection with shares awarded under F2a Schedule 2 SIP.

But those sections do not apply to an individual if, at the time of the award of shares in question, the earnings from the eligible employment are not (or would not be if there were any) general earnings to which any of the charging provisions of Chapter 4 or 5 of Part 2 apply.

“The eligible employment” means the employment which results in the individual meeting the employment requirement in relation to the plan.
