Chapter 3D Part 7 ITEPA 2003 uses the definitions contained in Chapter 1. Per ITEPA03/S446Z they are:

An associated person is anyone, including the employee himself, who has acquired the securities by reason of the employee’s employment or is a relevant linked person to whom the employee has transferred the securities. See ERSM20250.

Relevant linked person

A person is a relevant linked person if that person and either:

  • the person who acquired the employment-related securities on the acquisition, or;
  • the employee;

(on or after 18 June 2004): are or have been connected or (without being or having been connected) are or have been members of the same household.

Market value

Market value is determined in accordance with the TCGA92/S272 (see ERSM20400). The Supreme Court decision in Grays Timber Products Limited v HMRC (UKSC 2009 0044) provides judicial guidance on the meaning of “market value” and is discussed at ERSM80130.
