A look at the issues that arise in joint ventures when share schemes are used as part of employees' remuneration packages. Finance Act 2011 contains anti-avoidance legislation, enacted as Part 7A of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, which taxes disguised remuneration provided to employees through third parties such as employee benefit trusts. The legislation contains certain exemptions which may apply to normal employee share schemes arrangements operated through EBTs. However, the provisions are complicated and restrictive. Companies and their advisers should consider the impact of Part 7A when adopting, or continuing to operate, an employee share plan supported by an EBT.  For more information, see Practice note, Disguised remuneration: Part 7A of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003.
