This section applies where—
a notice given during the mobile tax year under section 690A has effect, ...
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
A direction under subsection (2)—
must specify the employee and the mobile tax year,
must be given by notice to the appropriate person, and
may be varied by notice to the appropriate person from a date specified in the notice (which may not be earlier than 30 days from the date on which the notice is given).
If—
a direction under subsection (2) has effect, and
any uncertain payment F4or mobile payment (as applicable) is made by the employer to the employee in any tax year,
the direction applies in relation to the payment.
But a direction for determining the non-PAYE proportion does not apply in relation to a mobile payment—
to the extent that section 690D(4) or 690E(4) (qualifying payments or treaty affected payments) also applies to the payment, or
if the payment is made after the end of the mobile tax year, other than to the extent the payment is also an uncertain payment.
A direction under subsection (2) has effect when it is given.
A direction under subsection (2) ceases to have effect if—
the notice to which the direction relates was given on the basis that the employee was likely to be non-UK resident for the mobile tax year, and
a notice has subsequently been—
acknowledged by an officer of Revenue and Customs.
Subsection (4) is without prejudice to—
any assessment in respect of the income of the employee in question, and
any right to repayment of income tax and any relevant debts overpaid and any obligation to pay income tax underpaid and any relevant debts that remain wholly or partly unpaid.
