Share Scheme Manual - SSM12.13

Shares acquired by employees: restriction re cessation lifted


If shares were acquired before 26 October 1987 the lifting of one particular type of restriction is not to be regarded as giving rise to a charge to tax under Section 78. This was the type of case where the lifting of a restriction was specifically exempted from triggering a charge under ICTA88/S138 (1)(a). This type of restriction took the form of any contract, agreement, arrangement, or condition which provided that when the employee left his employment the shares should be disposed of to a person nominated in accordance with the contract, agreement, arrangement or condition.
