Liability and amount

Liability

Sch 3 para 16
Sch 3 para 16(1)

A supplementary charge under this Schedule on a supply within paragraph 2—

Sch 3 para 16(1)(a)

is a liability of the supplier (subject to sub-paragraph (3)), and

Sch 3 para 16(1)(b)

becomes due on the date of the VAT change (rather than at the time of supply).

Sch 3 para 16(2)

A supplementary charge under this Schedule on a supply consisting of the grant of a right to goods or services within paragraph 3—

Sch 3 para 16(2)(a)

is a liability of the grantor (subject to sub-paragraph (3)), and

Sch 3 para 16(2)(b)

becomes due on the first occasion on or after the date of the VAT change on which the right is exercised (rather than at the time the right is granted).

Sch 3 para 16(3)

If, on the date on which the supplementary charge becomes due, the person who would be liable to pay the charge under sub-paragraph (1) or (2)—the supplementary charge is a liability of the representative member of the group.

Sch 3 para 16(3)(a)

is not a taxable person, but

Sch 3 para 16(3)(b)

is treated as a member of a group under sections 43A to 43D of VATA 1994,

Amount

Sch 3 para 17
Sch 3 para 17(1)

The amount of the supplementary charge on a supply within paragraph 2 is equal to the difference between—

Sch 3 para 17(1)(a)

the amount of VAT chargeable on the supply apart from this Schedule, and

Sch 3 para 17(1)(b)

the amount of VAT that would be chargeable on the supply if it were subject to VAT at the rate of 17.5%.

Sch 3 para 17(2)

The amount of the supplementary charge on a grant of a right to goods or services within paragraph 3 is equal to the difference between—(but see sub-paragraph (3)).

Sch 3 para 17(2)(a)

the amount of VAT chargeable on the grant of the right apart from this Schedule, and

Sch 3 para 17(2)(b)

the amount of VAT that would be chargeable on the grant of the right if it were subject to VAT at the rate of 17.5%,

Sch 3 para 17(3)

If the basic time of supply for some of those goods and services is before the date of the VAT change, sub-paragraph (2) has effect as if the references to the amount of VAT chargeable and to the amount of VAT that would be chargeable were references to the relevant proportion of each of those amounts.

Sch 3 para 17(4)

“The relevant proportion” is—P W where—P is so much of the consideration for the grant of the right as is attributable on a just and reasonable basis to a right to the goods and services for which the basic time of supply is on or after the date of the VAT change, and W is the whole of the consideration for the grant of the right.

Sch 3

“Listed supply”

Sch 3 para 18

“Basic time of supply”: listed supplies

Sch 3 para 19
Sch 3 para 19(1)

Sch 3 para 19(2)

Where the person making the supply issues an invoice—

Sch 3 para 19(2)(a)

in respect of part of the listed supply to which the VAT invoice or payment mentioned in paragraph 18(1) relates, and

Sch 3 para 19(2)(b)

for a period (a “billing period”) ending before the end of the period to which that VAT invoice or payment relates,“the basic time of supply”, in relation to that part of the supply, is the end of the billing period.

Sch 3 para 19(3)

For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) the listed supply (and the consideration for the supply) must be apportioned between periods on a just and reasonable basis.

Sch 3 para 19(4)

Where a listed supply is treated as taking place by virtue of—

Sch 3 para 19(4)(a)

the issue by the person making the supply of a VAT invoice relating to a premium for the grant of a tenancy or lease, or

Sch 3 para 19(4)(b)

the receipt by the person making the supply of such a premium,“the basic time of supply” is the date of the grant of the tenancy or lease.

Sch 3

Administration and interpretation

Person ceasing to be taxable person before supplementary charge due

Sch 3 para 20
Sch 3 para 20(1)

This paragraph applies if, on the date on which a supplementary charge under this Schedule becomes due (“the due date”), the person who is liable to pay the charge under paragraph 16 is not a taxable person.

Sch 3 para 20(2)

The supplementary charge must be accounted for by that person in accordance with VATA 1994 (and regulations made under that Act) as if it were VAT due in the last period for which the person was required to make a return by or under VATA 1994.

Sch 3 para 20(3)

If an amount assessed as due by way of supplementary charge under this Schedule would (in the absence of this sub-paragraph) carry interest from a date earlier than the due date, it is to be treated as only carrying interest from the due date.

Pensions: special annual allowance charge

Special annual allowance charge

Sch 35 para 1
Sch 35 para 1(1)

A charge to income tax, to be known as the special annual allowance charge, arises where—

Sch 35 para 1(1)(a)

the total adjusted pension input amount for a tax year in the case of a high-income individual who is a member of one or more registered pension schemes, exceeds

Sch 35 para 1(1)(b)

the amount of the special annual allowance.

Sch 35 para 1(2)

The individual is a high-income individual if the individual's relevant income for the tax year is £150,000 or more. Paragraph 2 makes provision for calculating the individual's relevant income.

Sch 35 para 1(3)

Paragraphs 3 to 16 explain what is the total adjusted pension input amount.

Sch 35 para 1(4)

The special annual allowance is £20,000 (but subject to paragraph 17).

Sch 35 para 1(5)

But if, in calculating the total adjusted pension input amount of the individual for the tax year, a deduction is made in respect of—(or both) the special annual allowance is £20,000 less the amount of the deduction or, if the deduction is £20,000 or more, is nil.

Sch 35 para 1(5)(a)

protected pension input amounts (see paragraphs 7 to 14), or

Sch 35 para 1(5)(b)

a pre-22 April 2009 pension input amount that is such an amount by virtue of paragraph 16(3),

Sch 35 para 1(6)

The person liable to the special annual allowance charge is the individual.

Sch 35 para 1(7)

The individual is liable to the special annual allowance charge whether or not—are UK resident, ordinarily UK resident or domiciled in the United Kingdom.

Sch 35 para 1(7)(a)

the individual, and

Sch 35 para 1(7)(b)

the scheme administrator of the pension scheme or schemes concerned,

Sch 35 para 1(8)

The special annual allowance charge is a charge at the appropriate rate in respect of the amount by which—For this purpose “the appropriate rate” is—In this sub-paragraph—“chargeable amount” means the amount in respect of which the special annual allowance charge is charged, and“the reduced net income amount” means the amount after taking step 3 in section 23 of ITA 2007 in the case of the individual for the tax year.

Sch 35 para 1(8)(a)

the total adjusted pension input amount, exceeds

Sch 35 para 1(8)(b)

the amount of the special annual allowance.

Sch 35 para 1(8)(a)

0% in relation to so much (if any) of the chargeable amount as, when added to the reduced net income amount, does not exceed the basic rate limit,

Sch 35 para 1(8)(b)

20% in relation to so much (if any) of the chargeable amount, as when so added, exceeds the basic rate limit but does not exceed the higher rate limit, and

Sch 35 para 1(8)(c)

30% in relation to so much (if any) of the chargeable amount as, when so added, exceeds the higher rate limit.

Sch 35 para 1(9)

But where—the amount in respect of which the special annual allowance charge is charged is reduced by the amount of the excess.

Sch 35 para 1(9)(a)

the individual's total pension input amount under section 229 of FA 2004 (annual allowance charge) for the tax year, exceeds

Sch 35 para 1(9)(b)

the amount of the annual allowance for the tax year (see section 228 of that Act and orders made under it),

Sch 35 para 1(10)

In calculating the individual's liability to income tax for the tax year the amount of any income tax to which the individual is liable under this section is to be added at Step 7 of the calculation in section 23 of ITA 2007 (which applies as if this Schedule were a provision listed in section 30 of that Act).

Sch 35 para 1(11)

The amount in respect of which the special annual allowance charge is charged is not to be treated as income for any purpose of the Tax Acts.

Calculation of relevant income

Sch 35 para 2
Sch 35 para 2(1)

To find the individual's relevant income for the tax year take the following steps—Step 1 Identify the individual's total income. Step 2 Add the amount of any deductions made from any employment income of the individual for the tax year under section 193(2) of FA 2004 or made under Chapter 2 of Part 5 of ITEPA 2003 in accordance with paragraph 51 of Schedule 36 to FA 2004. Step 3 Deduct the amount of any relief under the provisions listed in section 24 of ITA 2007, other than sections 193(4) and 194(1) of FA 2004, to which the individual is entitled for the tax year. Step 4 Deduct the aggregate amount of any relevant contributions, but subject to a maximum of £20,000. Step 5 Add any amount by which what would otherwise be general earnings or specific employment income of the individual for the tax year has been reduced by a post-22 April 2009 salary sacrifice scheme. Step 6 If in the tax year the individual makes, or is treated under section 426 of ITA 2007 as making, a gift that is a qualifying donation for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 8 of that Act (gift aid), deduct the grossed up amount of the gift (that is, the amount of the gift grossed up by reference to the basic rate for the tax year). The result is the individual's relevant income for the tax year unless the result is less than £150,000 and the following provisions provide that the individual's relevant income is to be a different amount.

Sch 35 para 2(2)

If the amount arrived at under sub-paragraph (1) is less than £150,000, take the steps in that sub-paragraph in relation to—If the result is £150,000 or more for either or both of those earlier tax years the individual's relevant income for the tax year is to be assumed to be £150,000.

Sch 35 para 2(2)(a)

the tax year before the tax year concerned, and

Sch 35 para 2(2)(b)

the tax year before that.

Sch 35 para 2(3)

If there is a scheme the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is to secure that the individual's relevant income for the tax year is less than £150,000, it is to be assumed to be £150,000.

Sch 35 para 2(4)

In step 4 in sub-paragraph (1) “relevant contributions” are—

Sch 35 para 2(4)(a)

contributions which are relievable pension contributions in relation to the individual and are paid in the tax year,

Sch 35 para 2(4)(b)

contributions in respect of which the individual is entitled to a tax reduction under section 788 of ICTA and which are paid in the tax year, and

Sch 35 para 2(4)(c)

contributions paid by the individual for which a deduction is given under Chapter 2 of Part 5 of ITEPA 2003 for the tax year in accordance with paragraph 51 of Schedule 36 to FA 2004.

Sch 35 para 2(5)

In step 5 in sub-paragraph (1) “a post-22 April 2009 salary sacrifice scheme” is a scheme made on or after 22 April 2009 in pursuance of which—

Sch 35 para 2(5)(a)

the individual gives up the right to receive general earnings or specific employment income, and

Sch 35 para 2(5)(b)

an employer of the individual or any other person agrees to pay contributions (or additional contributions) to a pension scheme in respect of the individual or otherwise to secure an increase in the amount of benefits to which the individual or any person who is a dependant of, or is connected with, the individual is actually or prospectively entitled under a pension scheme.

Sch 35 para 2(6)

Section 993 of ITA 2007 (meaning of “connected” person) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraph (5).

Total adjusted pension input amount: general

Sch 35 para 3
Sch 35 para 3(1)

The total adjusted pension input amount is to be calculated as follows.

Sch 35 para 3(2)

Arrive at an amount in the same way as the total pension input amount would be arrived at for the purposes of the annual allowance charge in accordance with sections 229 to 237 of FA 2004 (assuming that it were necessary to arrive at it for that purpose) but subject to—

Sch 35 para 3(2)(a)

the modifications of those sections specified in paragraphs 4 and 5, and

Sch 35 para 3(2)(b)

where paragraph 6 applies, the provisions of that paragraph.

Sch 35 para 3(3)

Then reduce the amount so arrived at by the aggregate of—and, if the tax year is the tax year 2009-10, any pre-22 April 2009 pension input amount (see paragraph 16).

Sch 35 para 3(3)(a)

any protected pension input amounts (see paragraphs 7 to 14), and

Sch 35 para 3(3)(b)

any relevant refunded amounts (see paragraph 15),

Total adjusted pension input amount: modifications of sections 229 to 237 of FA 2004

Sch 35 para 4
Sch 35 para 4(1)

Section 229(3) of FA 2004 (no pension input amount for year in which individual becomes entitled to all benefits under arrangement or dies) has effect for arriving at an amount under paragraph 3(2) in relation to an arrangement only if condition A or B is met.

Sch 35 para 4(2)

Condition A is that—

Sch 35 para 4(2)(a)

the arrangement is a defined benefits arrangement under a pension scheme,

Sch 35 para 4(2)(b)

at the time when the individual becomes entitled to all the benefits that may be provided to the individual under the arrangement or dies, there are at least 20 persons in respect of whom defined benefits arrangements subsist under the pension scheme under which benefits are accruing or scheme pensions are being paid, and

Sch 35 para 4(2)(c)

the individual's becoming entitled to any of the benefits that may be provided to or in respect of the individual under the arrangement is not part of a scheme the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is to avoid or reduce liability to the special annual allowance charge, the annual allowance charge or the lifetime allowance charge.

Sch 35 para 4(3)

Condition B is that—

Sch 35 para 4(3)(a)

the arrangement is under an occupational pension scheme, a public service pension scheme or a group personal pension scheme,

Sch 35 para 4(3)(b)

the individual's entitlement to the benefits mentioned in section 229(3)(a) of FA 2004 arises only because the ill-health condition is satisfied, and

Sch 35 para 4(3)(c)

the individual's becoming entitled to any of the benefits that may be provided to or in respect of the individual under the arrangement is not part of a scheme the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is to avoid or reduce liability to the special annual allowance charge, the annual allowance charge or the lifetime allowance charge.

Sch 35 para 5
Sch 35 para 5(1)

Sections 230(1), 233(1) and 234(1) of FA 2004 have effect for arriving at an amount under paragraph 3(2) as if “the pension input period of the arrangement that ends in” were omitted.

Sch 35 para 5(2)

Sections 230 to 237 of FA 2004 have effect for arriving at an amount under paragraph 3(2) as if “tax year” were substituted for“ pension input period ”in all other places.

Total adjusted pension input amount: modification in cases of avoidance scheme

Sch 35 para 6
Sch 35 para 6(1)

This paragraph applies if there is a scheme the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is to avoid or reduce liability to the special annual allowance charge, the annual allowance charge or the lifetime allowance charge by reducing the amount arrived at in accordance with paragraph 3(2) in relation to an arrangement under a pension scheme for the tax year (or for reducing that amount and the amount so arrived at for other tax years).

Sch 35 para 6(2)

If the amount calculated under sub-paragraph (3) exceeds that arrived at in accordance with paragraph 3(2) in relation to the arrangement for the tax year, the amount so calculated is to be treated as if it were the amount so arrived at.

Sch 35 para 6(3)

The amount is calculated by deducting—

Sch 35 para 6(3)(a)

the amount of the consideration that might be expected to be received in respect of an assignment (or assignation) of the benefits to which the individual or any dependant of the individual has a prospective entitlement under the arrangement at the beginning of the tax year, from

Sch 35 para 6(3)(b)

the amount of the consideration that might be expected to be received in respect of an assignment (or assignation) of the benefits to which the individual or any dependant of the individual has a prospective entitlement under the arrangement at the end of the tax year.

Sch 35 para 6(4)

That calculation is to be made on the assumptions that—

Sch 35 para 6(4)(a)

the benefits are capable of assignment (or assignation),

Sch 35 para 6(4)(b)

the assignment (or assignation) is by a transaction between parties at arm's length, and

Sch 35 para 6(4)(c)

any power to reduce entitlement to the benefits does not exist.

Sch 35 para 6(5)

If the arrangement ceases to exist during the tax year, the reference in sub-paragraph (3)(b) to the end of the tax year is to the time immediately before it ceases to exist.

Sch 35 para 6(6)

Section 236 of FA 2004 applies for adjusting the amount in sub-paragraph (3)(b) as for adjusting the closing value of an individual's rights as calculated under section 234(5) of that Act (but as if references to the pension input period were to the tax year and whether or not the arrangement is a defined benefits arrangement).

Protected pension input amounts: general

Sch 35 para 7
Sch 35 para 7(1)

The following paragraphs make provision for protected pension input amounts in respect of arrangements under registered pension schemes—

Sch 35 para 7(1)(a)

paragraph 13 makes provision about new and re-activated arrangements.

Sch 35 para 7(2)

Paragraph 14 makes anti-avoidance provision in relation to all the varieties of arrangements covered by paragraphs 8 to 13A.

Protected pension input amounts: existing defined benefits arrangements

Sch 35 para 8
Sch 35 para 8(1)

This paragraph applies in respect of a defined benefits arrangement if the arrangement is under an occupational pension scheme or a public service pension scheme.

Sch 35 para 8(2)

If the individual pays relevant added years contributions under the arrangement in the tax year, the amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to the arrangement is a protected pension input amount to the extent that it is attributable to those contributions.

Sch 35 para 8(3)

Relevant added years contributions are contributions paid—

Sch 35 para 8(3)(a)

with a view to securing that the calculation of benefits under the arrangement is by reference to a period of service in excess of pensionable service by the individual,

Sch 35 para 8(3)(b)

in pursuance of an agreement which was made before noon on 22 April 2009 or made pursuant to a written application received by or on behalf of the scheme administrator of the pension scheme before that time,

Sch 35 para 8(3)(c)

on a quarterly or more frequent basis during the period beginning with that date or (if later) when they first became payable and ending with the relevant end date without any failure to pay contributions payable during that period on more than an insignificant number of occasions, and

Sch 35 para 8(3)(d)

at a rate which has not increased during that period otherwise than in accordance with an agreement made before noon on 22 April 2009 or made pursuant to a written application received by or on behalf of the scheme administrator of the pension scheme before that time.

Sch 35 para 8(4)

To the extent that the amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to the arrangement is attributable otherwise than to the paying of relevant added years contributions it is a protected pension input amount if the conditions set out in sub-paragraph (4A) or (4B) are met.

Sch 35 para 8(4A)

The conditions in this sub-paragraph are that—

Sch 35 para 8(4A)(a)

benefits have been accruing to or in respect of the individual under the arrangement since before 22 April 2009 and until the relevant end date, and

Sch 35 para 8(4A)(b)

there is no material change in the rules of the pension scheme under which benefits to or in respect of the individual are calculated under the arrangement in the period beginning with 22 April 2009 and ending with the relevant end date.

Sch 35 para 8(4B)

The conditions in this sub-paragraph are that—

Sch 35 para 8(4B)(a)

benefits began accruing to or in respect of the individual under the arrangement on or after 22 April 2009 but before the relevant end date and continued until that date,

Sch 35 para 8(4B)(b)

the arrangement was made in accordance with the terms of a written agreement between the individual and the employer made not later than 22 April 2009, and

Sch 35 para 8(4B)(c)

there is no material change in the rules of the pension scheme under which benefits to or in respect of the individual are calculated under the arrangement in the period beginning with the date on which benefits began accruing under that arrangement and ending with the relevant end date.

Sch 35 para 8(4C)

If the conditions in sub-paragraph (4D) are met, the amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to the arrangement which is attributable otherwise than to the paying of relevant added years contributions is a protected pension input amount to the extent specified in sub-paragraph (4F).

Sch 35 para 8(4D)

The conditions in this sub-paragraph are that—

Sch 35 para 8(4D)(a)

the arrangement was made no later than the end of the period of 3 months beginning with the date on which the individual ceased being an active member of a pension scheme other than that under which it is an arrangement (“the cessation date”),

Sch 35 para 8(4D)(b)

the cessation date was on or after 22 April 2009,

Sch 35 para 8(4D)(c)

the arrangement under that other pension scheme by reference to which the individual was an active member of that pension scheme (“the old arrangement”) was one in the case of which some or all of the benefits accruing under the arrangement were accruing in circumstances in which the amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to the old arrangement was to any extent a protected pension input amount by virtue of this paragraph,

Sch 35 para 8(4D)(d)

the individual does not make more than one arrangement under a pension scheme other than that under which the old arrangement was an arrangement in the period of 3 months beginning with the cessation date,

Sch 35 para 8(4D)(e)

the individual made the arrangement for one of the reasons set out in sub-paragraph (4E),

Sch 35 para 8(4D)(f)

the old arrangement has not been re-activated within the meaning of paragraph 13(7) on or after the cessation date,

Sch 35 para 8(4D)(g)

there is no material difference between the rules of the pension scheme under which benefits to or in respect of the individual are calculated under the arrangement and the rules of the pension scheme under which such benefits were calculated under the old arrangement, and

Sch 35 para 8(4D)(h)

there is no material change in the rules of the pension scheme under which benefits to or in respect of the individual are calculated under the arrangement in the period beginning with the date on which benefits began accruing under the arrangement and ending with the relevant end date.

Sch 35 para 8(4D)(4E)

The reasons referred to in sub-paragraph (4D)(e) are that—

Sch 35 para 8(4D)(a)

the individual’s employer had entered into a re-organisation of its pension provisions and the making of the arrangement was a consequence of that re-organisation, or

Sch 35 para 8(4D)(b)

the making of the arrangement was due to a relevant business transfer within the meaning of paragraph 12(8A) of Schedule 36 to FA 2004.

Sch 35 para 8(4F)

The amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to the arrangement is a protected pension input amount to the extent that it does not exceed the amount which would have been a protected pension input amount in respect of the old arrangement for the accrual period had the old arrangement continued during that period.

Sch 35 para 8(4G)

The accrual period is the period in the tax year—

Sch 35 para 8(4G)(a)

beginning with the date on which the individual became an active member of a pension scheme by reference to the arrangement (“the joining date”) or, if the joining date was in an earlier tax year, the first day of the tax year, and

Sch 35 para 8(4G)(b)

ending with the last day of the tax year or, if earlier, the date on which the individual ceased being an active member of the pension scheme by reference to the arrangement.

Sch 35 para 8(5)

If—

Sch 35 para 8(5)(a)

there is a material change in the rules of the pension scheme under which benefits are calculated under the arrangement during a period referred to in sub-paragraph (4A)(b), (4B)(c) or (4D)(h), and

Sch 35 para 8(5)(b)

the amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to the arrangement would have been a protected pension input amount under sub-paragraph (4) or (4C) had it not been for the material change, the amount so arrived at, to the extent that it is attributable otherwise than to the paying of relevant added years contributions, is a protected pension input amount to the extent that it is not attributable to that change.

Sch 35 para 8(6)

But even in that case the whole of the amount so arrived at, to the extent that it is so attributable, is a protected pension input amount if the material change affects at least 50 active members of the pension scheme.

Sch 35 para 8(7)

In this paragraph “the relevant end date” means the end of the tax year or, if earlier, the time when benefits cease to accrue to or in respect of the individual under the arrangement.

Protected pension input amounts: existing cash balance arrangements

Sch 35 para 9
Sch 35 para 9(1)

This paragraph applies in respect of a cash balance arrangement if the arrangement is under an occupational pension scheme or a public service pension scheme.

Sch 35 para 9(2)

If the individual pays relevant additional voluntary contributions under the arrangement in the tax year, the amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to the arrangement is a protected pension input amount to the extent that it is attributable to those contributions.

Sch 35 para 9(3)

Relevant additional voluntary contributions are additional voluntary contributions paid—

Sch 35 para 9(3)(a)

in pursuance of an agreement which was made before noon on 22 April 2009 or made pursuant to a written application received by or on behalf of the scheme administrator of the pension scheme before that time,

Sch 35 para 9(3)(b)

on a quarterly or more frequent basis during the period beginning with that date or (if later) when they first became payable and ending with the relevant end date without any failure to pay contributions payable during that period on more than an insignificant number of occasions, and

Sch 35 para 9(3)(c)

at a rate which has not increased during that period otherwise than in accordance with an agreement made before noon on 22 April 2009 or made pursuant to a written application received by or on behalf of the scheme administrator of the pension scheme before that time.

Sch 35 para 9(4)

To the extent that the amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to the arrangement is attributable otherwise than to the paying of relevant additional voluntary contributions it is a protected pension input amount if the conditions set out in sub-paragraph (4A) or (4B) are met.

Sch 35 para 9(4A)

The conditions in this sub-paragraph are that—

Sch 35 para 9(4A)(a)

benefits have been accruing to or in respect of the individual under the arrangement since before 22 April 2009 and until the relevant end date, and

Sch 35 para 9(4A)(b)

there is no material change in the rules of the pension scheme under which benefits to or in respect of the individual are calculated under the arrangement in the period beginning with 22 April 2009 and ending with the relevant end date.

Sch 35 para 9(4B)

The conditions in this sub-paragraph are that—

Sch 35 para 9(4B)(a)

benefits began accruing to or in respect of the individual under the arrangement on or after 22 April 2009 but before the relevant end date and continued until that date,

Sch 35 para 9(4B)(b)

the arrangement was made in accordance with the terms of a written agreement between the individual and the employer made not later than 22 April 2009, and

Sch 35 para 9(4B)(c)

there is no material change in the rules of the pension scheme under which benefits to or in respect of the individual are calculated under the arrangement in the period beginning with the date on which benefits began accruing under that arrangement and ending with the relevant end date.

Sch 35 para 9(4C)

If the conditions in sub-paragraph (4D) are met, the amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to the arrangement which is attributable otherwise than to the paying of relevant additional voluntary contributions is a protected pension input amount to the extent specified in sub-paragraph (4E).

Sch 35 para 9(4D)

The conditions in this sub-paragraph are that—

Sch 35 para 9(4D)(a)

the arrangement was made no later than the end of the period of 3 months beginning with the date on which the individual ceased being an active member of a pension scheme other than that under which it is an arrangement (“the cessation date”),

Sch 35 para 9(4D)(b)

the cessation date was on or after 22 April 2009,

Sch 35 para 9(4D)(c)

the arrangement under that other pension scheme by reference to which the individual was an active member of that pension scheme (“the old arrangement”) was one in the case of which some or all of the benefits accruing under the arrangement were accruing in circumstances in which the amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to the old arrangement was to any extent a protected pension input amount by virtue of this paragraph,

Sch 35 para 9(4D)(d)

the individual does not make more than one arrangement under a pension scheme other than that under which the old arrangement was an arrangement in the period of 3 months beginning with the cessation date,

Sch 35 para 9(4D)(e)

the individual made the arrangement for one of the reasons set out in paragraph 8(4E),

Sch 35 para 9(4D)(f)

the old arrangement has not been re-activated within the meaning of paragraph 13(7) on or after the cessation date,

Sch 35 para 9(4D)(g)

there is no material difference between the rules of the pension scheme under which benefits to or in respect of the individual are calculated under the arrangement and the rules of the pension scheme under which such benefits were calculated under the old arrangement, and

Sch 35 para 9(4D)(h)

there is no material change in the rules of the pension scheme under which benefits to or in respect of the individual are calculated under the arrangement in the period beginning with the date on which benefits started accruing under the arrangement and ending with the relevant end date.

Sch 35 para 9(4E)

The amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) is a protected pension input amount to the extent that it does not exceed the amount which would have been a protected pension input amount in respect of the old arrangement for the accrual period had the old arrangement continued during that period.

Sch 35 para 9(4F)

For the purposes of sub-paragraph (4E) the accrual period has the meaning set out in paragraph 8(4G).

Sch 35 para 9(5)

If—

Sch 35 para 9(5)(a)

there is a material change in the rules of a pension scheme under which benefits are calculated under an arrangement during a period referred to in sub-paragraph (4A)(b), (4B)(c) or (4D)(h), and

Sch 35 para 9(5)(b)

the amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to the arrangement would have been a protected pension input amount under sub-paragraph (4) or (4C) had it not been for the material change, the amount so arrived at, to the extent that it is attributable otherwise than to the paying of relevant additional voluntary contributions, is a protected pension input amount to the extent that it is not attributable to that change.

Sch 35 para 9(6)

But even in that case the whole of the amount so arrived at, to the extent that it is so attributable, is a protected pension input amount if the material change affects at least 50 active members of the pension scheme.

Sch 35 para 17(3)

Where the relevant mean is £30,000 or more, this Schedule has effect as if those references were instead to £30,000.

Sch 35 para 17(4)

The “infrequent money purchase contributions amount” for a tax year is the aggregate of any relevant contributions paid in the tax year—(and so is nil if no such contributions were so paid).

Sch 35 para 17(4)(a)

under money purchase arrangements, other than cash balance arrangements, under registered pension schemes, and

Sch 35 para 17(4)(b)

less frequently than on a quarterly basis;

Sch 35 para 17(5)

Sch 35 para 17(6)

Sch 35 para 17(6)(a)

relievable pension contributions by or on behalf of the individual, or

Sch 35 para 17(6)(b)

HMRC serves on P a notice specifying any penalty to which P would become liable apart from sub-paragraph (2),

Sch 56 para 10(4)

P breaks an agreement if—

Sch 56 para 10(4)(a)

P fails to pay the amount of tax in question when the deferral period ends, or

Sch 56 para 10(4)(b)

the deferral is subject to P complying with a condition (including a condition that part of the amount be paid during the deferral period) and P fails to comply with it.

Sch 56 para 10(5)

Assessment

Sch 56 para 11
Sch 56 para 11(1)

Where P is liable for a penalty under any paragraph of this Schedule HMRC must—

Sch 56 para 11(1)(a)

assess the penalty,

Sch 56 para 11(1)(b)

notify P, and

Sch 56 para 11(1)(c)

state in the notice the period in respect of which the penalty is assessed.

Sch 56 para 11(2)

A penalty under any paragraph of this Schedule must be paid before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which notice of the assessment of the penalty is issued.

Sch 56 para 11(3)

An assessment of a penalty under any paragraph of this Schedule—

Sch 56 para 11(3)(a)

is to be treated for procedural purposes in the same way as an assessment to tax (except in respect of a matter expressly provided for by this Schedule),

Sch 56 para 11(3)(b)

may be enforced as if it were an assessment to tax, and

Sch 56 para 11(3)(c)

may be combined with an assessment to tax.

Sch 56 para 11(4)

A supplementary assessment may be made in respect of a penalty if an earlier assessment operated by reference to an underestimate of an amount of tax which was due or payable.

Sch 56 para 11(4A)

If an assessment in respect of a penalty is based on an amount of tax due or payable that is found by HMRC to be excessive, HMRC may by notice to P amend the assessment so that it is based upon the correct amount.

Sch 56 para 11(4B)

An amendment made under sub-paragraph (4A)—

Sch 56 para 11(4B)(a)

does not affect when the penalty must be paid;

Sch 56 para 11(4B)(b)

may be made after the last day on which the assessment in question could have been made under paragraph 12.

Sch 56 para 11(5)

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

Sch 56 para 12
Sch 56 para 12(1)

An assessment of a penalty under any paragraph of this Schedule in respect of any amount must be made on or before the later of date A and (where it applies) date B.

Sch 56 para 12(2)

Date A is the last day of the period of 2 years beginning with the date specified in or for the purposes of column 4 of the Table (that is to say, the last date on which payment may be made without incurring a penalty).

Sch 56 para 12(3)

Date B is the last day of the period of 12 months beginning with—

Sch 56 para 12(3)(a)

the end of the appeal period for the assessment of the amount of tax in respect of which the penalty is assessed, or

if there is no such assessment, the date on which that amount of tax is ascertained.

Sch 56 para 12(4)

In sub-paragraph (3)(a) “appeal period” means the period during which—

Sch 56 para 12(4)(a)

an appeal could be brought, or

Appeal

Sch 56 para 13(1)

P may appeal against a decision of HMRC that a penalty is payable by P.

Sch 56 para 13(2)

P may appeal against a decision of HMRC as to the amount of a penalty payable by P.

Sch 56 para 14
Sch 56 para 14(1)

An appeal under paragraph 13 is to be treated in the same way as an appeal against an assessment to the tax concerned (including by the application of any provision about bringing the appeal by notice to HMRC, about HMRC review of the decision or about determination of the appeal by the First-tier Tribunal or Upper Tribunal).

Sch 56 para 14(2)

Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply—

Sch 56 para 14(2)(a)

so as to require P to pay a penalty before an appeal against the assessment of the penalty is determined, or

Sch 56 para 14(2)(b)

in respect of any other matter expressly provided for by this Act.

Sch 56 para 15
Sch 56 para 15(1)

On an appeal under paragraph 13(1) that is notified to the tribunal, the tribunal may affirm or cancel HMRC's decision.

Sch 56 para 15(2)

On an appeal under paragraph 13(2) that is notified to the tribunal, the tribunal may—

Sch 56 para 15(2)(a)

affirm HMRC's decision, or

Sch 56 para 15(2)(b)

substitute for HMRC's decision another decision that HMRC had power to make.

Sch 56 para 15(3)

If the tribunal substitutes its decision for HMRC's, the tribunal may rely on paragraph 9—

Sch 56 para 15(3)(a)

to the same extent as HMRC (which may mean applying the same percentage reduction as HMRC to a different starting point), or

Sch 56 para 15(3)(b)

to a different extent, but only if the tribunal thinks that HMRC's decision in respect of the application of paragraph 9 was flawed.

Sch 56 para 15(4)

In sub-paragraph (3)(b) “flawed” means flawed when considered in the light of the principles applicable in proceedings for judicial review.

Sch 56 para 15(5)

In this paragraph “tribunal” means the First-tier Tribunal or Upper Tribunal (as appropriate by virtue of paragraph 14(1)).

Reasonable excuse

Sch 56 para 16
Sch 56 para 16(1)

If P satisfies HMRC or (on appeal) the First-tier Tribunal or Upper Tribunal that there is a reasonable excuse for a failure to make a payment—

Sch 56 para 16(1)(a)

liability to a penalty under any paragraph of this Schedule does not arise in relation to that failure, and

Sch 56 para 16(1)(b)

the failure does not count as a default for the purposes of paragraphs 6, 8B, 8C, 8G and 8H.

Sch 56 para 16(2)

For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)—

Sch 56 para 16(2)(a)

an insufficiency of funds is not a reasonable excuse unless attributable to events outside P's control,

Sch 56 para 16(2)(b)

where P relies on any other person to do anything, that is not a reasonable excuse unless P took reasonable care to avoid the failure, and

Sch 56 para 16(2)(c)

where P had a reasonable excuse for the failure but the excuse has ceased, P is to be treated as having continued to have the excuse if the failure is remedied without unreasonable delay after the excuse ceased.

Double jeopardy

Sch 56 para 17

P is not liable to a penalty under any paragraph of this Schedule in respect of a failure or action in respect of which P has been convicted of an offence.

Sch 61

Issue, transfer and redemption of rights under arrangements

Issue, transfer and redemption of rights under bond not be treated as chargeable transaction

Sch 61 para 2

Section 564S of ITA 2007 (treatment of bond-holder and bond-issuer) applies for the purposes of any enactment about stamp duty land tax as it applies for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts.

Relief not available where bond-holder acquires control of underlying asset

Sch 61 para 3
Sch 61 para 3(1)

Paragraph 2 does not apply if control of the underlying asset is acquired by—

Sch 61 para 3(1)(a)

a bond-holder, or

Sch 61 para 3(1)(b)

a group of connected bond-holders.

Sch 61 para 3(2)

A bond-holder (“BH”), or a group of connected bond-holders, acquires control of the underlying asset if—

Sch 61 para 3(2)(a)

the rights of bond-holders under an alternative finance investment bond include the right of management and control of the bond assets, and

Sch 61 para 3(2)(b)

BH, or the group, acquires sufficient rights to enable BH, or the members of the group acting jointly, to exercise the right of management and control of the bond assets to the exclusion of any other bond-holders.

Sch 61 para 4
Sch 61 para 4(1)

But paragraph 3(1) does not apply (and, accordingly, section 564S of ITA 2007 applies by virtue of paragraph 2) in either of the following cases.

Sch 61 para 4(2)

The first case is where—

Sch 61 para 4(2)(a)

at the time that the rights were acquired BH (or all of the connected bond-holders) did not know and had no reason to suspect that the acquisition enabled the exercise of the right of management and control of the bond assets to the exclusion of other bond-holders, and

Sch 61 para 4(2)(b)

as soon as reasonably practicable after BH (or any of the bond-holders) becomes aware that the acquisition enables that exercise, BH transfers (or some or all of the bond-holders transfer) sufficient rights for that exercise no longer to be possible.

Sch 61 para 4(3)

The second case is where BH—

Sch 61 para 4(3)(a)

underwrites a public offer of rights under the bond, and

Sch 61 para 4(3)(b)

does not exercise the right of management and control of the bond assets.

Sch 61 para 4(4)

In this paragraph—“connected” is to be read in accordance with section 1122 of CTA 2010, and“underwrite”, in relation to an offer of rights under a bond, means to agree to make payments of capital under the bond in the event that other persons do not make those payments.

Sch 61

Transactions relating to underlying assets consisting of land

General conditions for operation of reliefs etc

Sch 61 para 5
Sch 61 para 5(1)

This paragraph defines conditions A to G for the purposes of paragraphs 6 to 18. Paragraphs 20 and 22 set out circumstances in which the reliefs provided by paragraphs 6 to 18 are not available even if conditions A to G are met.

Sch 61 para 5(2)

Condition A is that one person (“P”) and another (“Q”) enter into arrangements under which—

Sch 61 para 5(2)(a)

P transfers to Q a qualifying interest in land (“the first transaction”), and

Sch 61 para 5(2)(b)

P and Q agree that, when the interest ceases to be held by Q as mentioned in sub-paragraph (3)(b), Q will transfer the interest to P.

Sch 61 para 5(3)

Condition B is that—

Sch 61 para 5(3)(a)

Q, as bond-issuer, enters into an alternative finance investment bond (whether before or after entering into the arrangements mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)), and

Sch 61 para 5(3)(b)

the interest in land to which those arrangements relate is held by Q as a bond asset.

Sch 61 para 5(4)

Condition C is that, for the purpose of generating income or gains for the alternative finance investment bond—

Sch 61 para 5(4)(a)

Q and P enter into a leaseback agreement, or

For the purposes of condition C, Q and P enter into a leaseback agreement if Q grants to P, out of the interest transferred to Q—

Sch 61 para 5(5)(a)

a lease (if the interest transferred is freehold or, in Scotland, the interest of the owner), or

Sch 61 para 5(5)(b)

a sub-lease (if the interest transferred is leasehold or, in Scotland, the tenant's right over or interest in a property subject to a lease).

Sch 61 para 5(6)

Condition D (which applies in the case of land in England... or Northern Ireland) is that, before the end of the period of 120 days beginning with the effective date of the first transaction, Q provides HMRC with the prescribed evidence that—

Sch 61 para 5(6)(a)

in England ..., a satisfactory legal charge has been entered in the register of title kept under section 1 of the Land Registration Act 2002,

Sch 61 para 5(6)(b)

Sch 61 para 5(7)(a)

is a first charge on... the interest transferred to Q,

Sch 61 para 5(7)(b)

is in favour of the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, and

Sch 61 para 5(7)(c)

is for the amount mentioned in sub-paragraph (8).

Sch 61 para 5(8)

That amount is the total of—

Sch 61 para 5(8)(a)

the amount of stamp duty land tax which would (apart from paragraph 6(2)) be chargeable on the first transaction if the chargeable consideration for that transaction had been the market value of the interest at that time, and

Sch 61 para 5(8)(b)

any interest and any penalties which would for the time being be payable on or in respect of that amount of tax, if the tax had been due and payable (but not paid) in respect of the first transaction.

Sch 61 para 5(9)

Condition E is that the total of the payments of capital made to Q before the termination of the bond is not less than 60% of the value of the interest in the land at the time of the first transaction.

Sch 61 para 5(10)

Condition F is that Q holds the interest in the land as a bond asset until the termination of the bond.

Sch 61 para 5(11)

Condition G is that—

Sch 61 para 5(11)(b)

the second transaction is effected not more than 10 years after the first transaction.

Sch 61 para 5(12)

The Treasury may by regulations amend sub-paragraph (11)(b) by substituting for the period mentioned there such other period as may be specified.

Sch 61 para 6(2)

expenditure incurred by Q in acquiring the asset by virtue of the first transaction is not to be regarded as capital expenditure, and

Sch 61 para 14(3)(b)

Sch 61 para 14(3)(c)

in a case within sub-paragraph (2)(b), Q is not to be regarded as acquiring, and P is not to be regarded as ceasing to have, the relevant interest in the asset by virtue of that transaction.

Sch 61 para 14(4)

Sub-paragraph (3) applies in relation to the transactions mentioned in sub-paragraph (5) as it applies in relation to the first transaction (but reading the references to Q as references to P and the reference to P as a reference to Q).

For the purposes of sub-paragraph (4), the disposal value that P is required to bring into account is—

Sch 61 para 15(5)(a)

where the case falls within item 3 or 4 of the Table in section 61(2) of CAA 2001 and the amount received by P as mentioned in that item is other than zero, that amount, and

in a case within sub-paragraph (2)(b), Q is to be treated as acquiring, and P is to be treated as ceasing to have, the relevant interest in the asset.

Sch 61 para 16(5)

Accordingly, Q's ceasing to hold the asset as a bond asset is to be treated—

Sch 61 para 16(5)(a)

as regards plant or machinery, as a disposal event (in relation to P) occurring in the chargeable period in which the cessation takes place, ...

Sch 61 para 17(4)

Sch 61 para 18(6)(b)

each of conditions A to C is met in relation to the replacement land.

Sch 61 para 18(7)

This paragraph also applies where the replacement land is replaced by further replacement land; and in that event—

Relief not available where bond-holder acquires control of underlying asset

Sch 61 para 20
Sch 61 para 20(1)

The reliefs provided by paragraphs 6 to 12 (and paragraph 18 so far as it relates to those paragraphs) are not available if control of the underlying asset is acquired by—

Sch 61 para 20(1)(a)

a bond-holder, or

Sch 61 para 20(1)(b)

a group of connected bond-holders.

Sch 61 para 20(2)

A bond-holder (“BH”), or a group of connected bond-holders, acquires control of the underlying asset if—

Sch 61 para 20(2)(a)

the rights of bond-holders under an alternative finance investment bond include the right of management and control of the bond assets, and

Sch 61 para 20(2)(b)

BH, or the group, acquires sufficient rights to enable BH, or the members of the group acting jointly, to exercise the right of management and control of the bond assets to the exclusion of any other bond-holders.

Sch 61 para 20(3)

In accordance with sub-paragraph (1), in the case of the reliefs provided by paragraphs 6 and 10—

if BH, or the group, acquires control of the underlying asset after the end of that period and conditions A to C have been met, paragraphs 7 and 11 apply.

Sch 61 para 21
Sch 61 para 21(1)

But paragraph 20 does not prevent the reliefs being available in either of the following cases.

Sch 61 para 21(2)

The first case is where—

Sch 61 para 21(2)(a)

at the time that the rights were acquired BH (or all of the connected bond-holders) did not know and had no reason to suspect that the acquisition enabled the exercise of the right of management and control of the bond assets to the exclusion of other bond-holders, and

Sch 61 para 21(2)(b)

as soon as reasonably practicable after BH (or any of the bond-holders) becomes aware that the acquisition enables that exercise, BH transfers (or some or all of the bond-holders transfer) sufficient rights for that no longer to be possible.

Sch 61 para 21(3)

The second case is where BH—

Sch 61 para 21(3)(a)

underwrites a public offer of rights under the bond, and

Sch 61 para 21(3)(b)

does not exercise the right of management and control of the bond assets.

Sch 61 para 21(4)

In this paragraph—“connected” is to be read in accordance with section 1122 of CTA 2010, and“underwrite”, in relation to an offer of rights under a bond, means to agree to make payments of capital under the bond in the event that other persons do not make those payments.
