Section 119A: Increase in expenditure by reference to tax charged in relation to employment-related securities, Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992

This section applies to a disposal of an asset consisting of employment-related securities if the disposal—

is an event giving rise to a relevant income tax charge, or

is the first disposal after an event, other than a disposal, giving rise to a relevant income tax charge.

Section 38(1)(a) applies as if the relevant amount had formed part of the consideration given by the person making the disposal for his acquisition of the employment-related securities.

For the purposes of this section an event gives rise to a relevant income tax charge if it results in an amount counting as employment income in respect of the employment-related securities—

under section 426 of ITEPA 2003 (restricted securities),

under section 438 of ITEPA 2003 by virtue of section 439(3)(a) of that Act (conversion of convertible securities),

under section 446U of ITEPA 2003 (securities acquired for less than market value: discharge of notional loan),

under section 447 of ITEPA 2003 (receipt of benefit) in a case where the benefit is an increase in the market value of the employment-related securities,

under section 476 of ITEPA 2003 by virtue of section 477(3)(a) of that Act (acquisition of securities pursuant to employment-related securities option), or—

under subsection (3) of section 21 of the Finance Act 2005 (transitional charge in relation to shares in spin-out companies) by virtue of subsection (4)(b) of that section (election by employee).

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

For the purposes of this section "the relevant amount" is the aggregate of the amounts counting as employment income as mentioned in subsection (3) above by reason of events occurring—

not later than the disposal, and

where this section has applied to an earlier disposal of the employment-related securities, after the last disposal to which this section applied.

In determining for the purposes of subsection (4) the amount counting as employment income—

in the case of an amount counting as employment income under section 476 of ITEPA 2003 any amounts deducted under section 480(5)(a), (b) or (d) of that Act shall be added back, and

no account shall be taken of any relief under section 428A, 442A, 481 or 482 of that Act (relief for secondary Class 1 contributions or special contribution met by employee).

See also section 119B (unchargeable, and unremitted chargeable, foreign securities income) and section 119C (unremitted Part 7A income).

Where securities or interests in securities cease to be employment-related securities—

by reason of subsection (6) of section 421B of ITEPA 2003 in circumstances in which, immediately before the employee's death, the employment-related securities are held otherwise than by the employee, or

by reason of subsection (7) of that section,

they are to be regarded for the purposes of this section as remaining employment-related securities until the next occasion on which they are disposed of.

In this section—

"employment-related securities", and
"employee", in relation to employment-related securities,

have the same meaning as in Chapters 1 to 4 of Part 7 of ITEPA 2003.
