the account does not result in a breach of the deposit rule if—

(a) a breach resulting from an earlier payment of a prohibited
30sum into the account is remedied, and

(b) the later prohibited sum is represented by the required
amount in relation to that breach.

(6) A “prohibited sum” is anything other than a sum that is, or derives

(8) For the purposes of subsection (7) each of the following is a “relevant
event”—

(a) 15the acquisition mentioned in subsection (7)(a), and

(b) any event on the occurrence of which an amount (if positive)
counts as employment income by virtue of Part 7 of ITEPA
2003 or would do so but for—

(i) section 421E or 474 of that Act (exclusions: residence
20etc), or

(ii) an election under section 430 or 431 of that Act.

(9) For the purposes of this section a tax year is a “relevant” tax year in
relation to an employment if—

(a) the individual has general earnings from the employment for
25the tax year,

(b) those earnings include both general earnings within section
15(1) of ITEPA 2003 (“section 15(1) earnings”) and general
earnings within section 26(1) of that Act (“section 26(1)
earnings”),

(c) 30at least some of the section 15(1) earnings, or sums deriving
(wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from at least
some of the section 15(1) earnings, are paid into the account
in the tax year, and

(d) at least some of the section 26(1) earnings, or sums deriving
35(wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from at least

45the deposit rule was transferred out of the account in accordance
with section 809RC(2).

(a) the intervening transactions had never taken place, and

Finance (No. 2) BillPage 192

(b) each prohibited sum represented by the required amount
had instead been transferred directly (at the time that sum
was paid into the qualifying account) into the account or
other property into which the required amount was
5transferred by virtue of the single one-off transfer.

(3) Each of the following is an “intervening transaction”—

(a) each payment into the qualifying account of a prohibited sum
represented by the required amount, and

(b) the single one-off transfer out of the qualifying account.

(4) 10If it is supposed under step 1 or 2 of section 809RA(2) that a single
transfer had been made in the intervening period, re-apply section
809Q or 809R in relation to that transfer taking account of subsection
(2).

(5) “The intervening period” is the period—

(a) 15beginning with the day on which the breach occurred, and

(b) ending with the day on which the single one-off transfer was
made in accordance with section 809RC(2).

(6) If more than one transfer of a sum equal to the required amount was
transferred out of the qualifying account within the 30-day grace
20period, the first of those transfers is assumed to be the single one-off
transfer.
