Commentary on Sections Example 3 £150(Pe) – £50(E) = £100 Section 272: Removal benefits and expenses to which section 271 applies
1109.This section identifies the types of benefits and expenses that qualify for the exemption. It derives from paragraphs 3, 4, 7 and 16 of Schedule 11A to ICTA.
1110.Subsection (1) lists all the benefits potentially within the scope of the limited exemption set out in section 271. It gives signposts to the sections that contain the detailed descriptions of those benefits and states the overriding conditions that must be satisfied.
1111.Subsection (2) ensures that if a voucher or credit-token is used to obtain goods or services or money to pay for them such benefits are within the scope of the exemption. See Change 60 in Annex 1.
1112.Subsection (3) lists the types of expenses that qualify for the exemption. It relies largely on the list in subsection (1) and adds, in paragraph (c), one expense for which there is no corresponding benefit.
1113.One of the conditions for the exemption to be available is that the benefits must be provided or that the reimbursed expenses must be incurred on or before a particular day. In the source legislation that day is called the “relevant day” and is defined in paragraph 6 of Schedule 11A to ICTA. That label has been changed to “the limitation day”, which is defined in section 274 of this Act.
