No more ever for me now as I'm MVL-ing.

EIM21690 - Employment Income Manual - HMRC internal manual - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
"The general meaning of “annual” in the context of section 264 ITEPA 2003 is that it is something that happens once a year on a recurring basis and it follows from this that a one-off event, for example a party to celebrate a 25th anniversary, cannot be an annual party or function."
Under normal circumstances, I'm not sure what happens if you skip a year. Do HMRC say "Well, you've done it for 9 years out of 10, so that's near enough" or do you lose the benefit once you've broken the cycle?
Hopefully they'll make an exception this year, in view of the pandemic!Comment
