Where an employer is required to operate PAYE by virtue of sections 698 to 700 on employment-related securities or options, the employer may not be able to deduct the full amount that he is
required to pay over to HMRC. ITEPA03/S222 imposes a charge to income tax on the employee if the employee does not, within 90 days of the end of the tax year in which the chargeable event
occurs, make good to the employer any PAYE tax that the employer was unable to deduct.
For example, if the event occurs on 28 February, the employee has until 4 July to make good the full amount of PAYE to the employer.
If the employer fails to operate PAYE correctly, then you may need to consider taking action to address that PAYE failure.
Even if there is a failure by the employer to operate PAYE, the section 222 charge remains if the employee has not made good within 90 days of the end of the tax year in which the chargeable
event occurs.
If the employee makes good the relevant amount of income tax to the employer after the time allowed, the section 222 charge remains.
