EIM13012 - Termination payments and benefits: Section 401 ITEPA 2003: scope of the charge: in connection with termination or change
Section 401(1) ITEPA 2003
Briefly, Section 401 ITEPA 2003 refers to payments and benefits received in connection with a termination of employment (or change in the duties of or earnings from the employment).
The full scope includes payments and benefits received
âdirectly or indirectly in consideration or in consequence of, or otherwise in connection with, the termination or changeâ.
This is a phrase of very wide scope, see EIM13910. For example, in HMRC v Colquhoun the phrase âotherwise in connection withâ was equated with âin any way connected withâ.
