Paragraph 4
United Kingdom
A payment is to be disregarded for the purposes of paragraph 3(3)(b) if—
there is any connection (direct or indirect) between the payment and a tax avoidance arrangement (other than the arrangement under which the loan was made), or
the payment, or a sum or asset directly or indirectly representing the payment, is the subject of a relevant step (as defined in section 554A(2) of ITEPA 2003) that is taken—
after the payment is made, but
before the end of F15 April 2019.
But a payment is not to be disregarded under sub-paragraph (1)(b) if, by the end of F25 April 2019, each relevant tax liability has been paid in full.
For the purposes of this paragraph, each of the following is a “relevant tax liability”—
any liability for income tax arising by virtue of the application of Chapter 2 by reason of the relevant step mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b), and
where section 554Z6 of ITEPA 2003 (overlap with certain earnings) applies because that relevant step gives rise to relevant earnings for the purposes of that section, any liability for income tax in respect of those relevant earnings.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Sub-paragraph (6) applies if a payment is disregarded under sub-paragraph (1)(b).
The value of F4a relevant step treated as taken by paragraph 1 or 1A is not reduced under section 554Z5(3) of ITEPA 2003 (overlap with money or asset subject to earlier tax liability) by the amount of the sum, or the value of the asset, which is the subject of the relevant step mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b) unless the payment condition is met by reason of section 554Z5(4)(a) and (b)(ii) being met.
