(2) The requirement of subsection (2)(b) of that section is to be treated as met in
that case.

57 (1) This paragraph applies for the purposes of section 554R of ITEPA 2003 in a
case in which—

(a) 5the relevant step mentioned in subsection (6)(a) of that section was
taken before 6 April 2011, and

(b) the requirement of subsection (6)(b) of that section would have been
met had Part 7A of ITEPA 2003 had effect in relation to relevant steps
within section 554B of that Act taken before that date.

(2) 10The requirement of subsection (6)(b) of that section is to be treated as met in

2011 by providing security (“the early security”) for the performance
15of an undertaking (“the early undertaking”),

(b) on or after 6 April 2011 at a time when B is continuing to provide the
early security, there is a change in the terms of the early undertaking
which does not amount to the giving of a new undertaking, and

(c) as a result of the change, the amount to be paid as a contribution (“the
20early contribution”) under the early undertaking increases, or will
increase.

(2) Chapter 3 of Part 7A of ITEPA 2003 has effect—

(a) as if the change in the terms of the early undertaking were a new
undertaking to pay a contribution covering the increase in the
25amount of the early contribution as determined on a just and
reasonable basis, and

(b) as if B, in continuing to provide the early security, provides security
for the performance of the new undertaking at the time of the change
in the terms.

(3) 30Section 554Z17(7) of ITEPA 2003 applies for the purposes of this paragraph
as it applies for the purposes of Chapter 3 of Part 7A of that Act.

59 (1) This paragraph applies if—

(a) a relevant step within section 554C or 554D of ITEPA 2003 (“the
chargeable step”) is taken,

(b) 35Chapter 2 of Part 7A of ITEPA 2003 applies by reason of the
chargeable step,

(c) in a tax year before 6 April 2011 (“the pre-6 April 2011 tax year”) a
relevant step (“the pre-6 April 2011 step”) within section 554B of
ITEPA 2003 was taken,

(d) 40before the chargeable step is taken—

(i) an agreement was made between Her Majesty’s Revenue and
Customs and either A or B (or both) under which it was
agreed that the pre-6 April 2011 step was to be treated as
giving rise to earnings of A from A’s employment with B
45within Chapter 1 of Part 3 of ITEPA 2003 for the pre-6 April
2011 tax year, or

(ii) the tax payable by A for the pre-6 April 2011 tax year was
otherwise decided on the basis that the pre-6 April 2011 step
was to be treated as giving rise to earnings of A from A’s

Finance (No. 3) BillPage 121

employment with B within Chapter 1 of Part 3 of ITEPA 2003
for that tax year,

(e) before the chargeable step is taken, A or B has paid, or otherwise accounted for, any tax which A or B is required to pay or otherwise account for as a consequence of—

(i) the agreement mentioned in paragraph (d)(i), or

(ii) the tax payable by A for the pre-6 April 2011 tax year having
5otherwise been decided on the basis mentioned in paragraph
(d)(ii), and

(f) after any reductions under sections 554Z4 to 554Z8 of ITEPA 2003, it
is determined on a just and reasonable basis that the value of the
10chargeable step represents (or still represents after any such
reductions) to any extent—

(i) the earnings treated as arising from the pre-6 April 2011 step
as mentioned in paragraph (d)(i) or (ii), or

(ii) any return on those earnings since the taking of the pre-6
15April 2011 step (whether income or capital, direct or indirect
or realised or unrealised).

(2) After any reductions under sections 554Z4 to 554Z8 of ITEPA 2003, the value
of the chargeable step is to be reduced (but not below nil) by an amount
reflecting the extent to which, as determined under sub-paragraph (1)(f),
20that value represents (or still represents) the earnings mentioned in sub-
paragraph (1)(f)(i) or any return on those earnings mentioned in sub-
paragraph (1)(f)(ii).

(3) In sub-paragraph (1)(f)(ii) “return” does not include any return so far as, it is
reasonable to suppose, the return exceeds the return which might have been
25expected applying the assumption that all relevant connected persons are
acting at arm’s length of each other.

(4) In sub-paragraph (3) “relevant connected person” means a person with a
connection (direct or indirect) to an arrangement (within the meaning of Part
7A of ITEPA 2003) by virtue of which the return arises.
