(a)criminal proceedings against a person in respect of an offence in connection with or in relation to plastic packaging tax;
(b)proceedings against a person for the recovery of a sum due in connection with or in relation to plastic packaging tax.
(2)A statement made, or a document produced, by or on behalf of the person is not inadmissible in proceedings to which this paragraph applies only by reason that—

(b)the person was, or may have been, induced to make the statement or provide the document as a result.
(3)The matters falling within this sub-paragraph are—
(a)that, in relation to plastic packaging tax, the Commissioners may assess an amount due by way of a penalty instead of instituting criminal proceedings;
(b)that it is the practice of the Commissioners (without giving any undertaking as to whether they will make such an assessment in any case) to be influenced by whether a person—
(i)has made a full confession of any dishonest conduct to which the person has been, or is, a party;
(ii)has otherwise co-operated fully with any investigation.
(4)The matter falling within this sub-paragraph is the fact that the Commissioners or, on appeal, an appeal tribunal have power by or under this Part to reduce a penalty.
