1 So much of any payment as equals the amount in sub-paragraph (3).
2 For the purposes of calculating the amount in sub-paragraph (3) treat amounts which count as employment income under Chapters 2 to 5 of Part 7 of ITEPA 2003 as having been paid in equal instalments on each day of the “relevant period” as determined in accordance with section 41G of ITEPA 2003.

3 The amount in this sub-paragraph is calculated by adding together every instalment which would satisfy the condition in sub-paragraph (4), (5) or (6) on the day on which the instalment is treated as having been paid.
4 The condition in this sub-paragraph is that the instalment does not give rise to a liability to pay earnings-related contributions because the employed earner does not fulfil the prescribed conditions as to residence or presence in Great Britain or Northern Ireland (as the case requires) set out in paragraph (1) of regulation 145 or because the proviso in paragraph (2) of that regulation applies.
5 The condition in this sub-paragraph is that the instalment does not give rise to a liability to pay earnings-related contributions because the employed earner is determined in accordance with Title II of Regulation No (EC) 883/2004 and Title II of Regulation No (EC) 987/2009 to be subject only to the legislation of another EEA State or Switzerland.
Regulation 883/2004 is extended to the EEA by Annex VI of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (OJ No L 001, 3.1.94, p3), as amended by Decision 76/2011 of the EEA Joint Committee (OJ No L 262, 6.10.11, p33).
