Conditions and restrictions 5 1 The Commissioners may prescribe conditions and restrictions which may be imposed in a licence and different conditions and restrictions may be prescribed for different cases. 2 The Commissioners may specify in a licence that restrictions and conditions are imposed in addition to those prescribed. Variation or revocation of a licence by the Commissioners 6 1 The Commissioners may at any time for reasonable cause vary or revoke a licence. 2 Where paragraph (1) applies, the Commissioners must give written notice of the variation or revocation to the licensee and state in that notice— a the date the variation or revocation has effect, b in the case of a variation, the variation made, and c the reasons for the variation or revocation. PART 4APPLICATIONS Communications 7 1 The Commissioners must prescribe the form and manner for an application and the information to be included in an application. 2 The Commissioners may prescribe that an application, and any communication relating to it, is to be made electronically. 3 The Commissioners may prescribe different provisions for different cases. 4 In this Part, “application” means an application— a for a licence, b to vary a licence, or c to renew a licence. Applications for a licence and to vary or renew a licence 8 1 A person must make an application as prescribed. 2 The Commissioners must, as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the application,— a grant a licence or agree to vary or renew a licence, as the case may be, b refuse the application in writing, giving reasons for the refusal, or c request additional information in accordance with regulation 9. 3 Where the Commissioners have requested additional information, they must, as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the additional information,— a grant a licence or agree to vary or renew a licence, as the case may be, or b refuse the application in writing, giving reasons for the refusal. Additional information 9 1 In order to determine an application, the Commissioners may, by notice, request an applicant to provide additional information to that prescribed. 2 Any such notice must specify— a the additional information required, and b the date by which the information must be provided to the Commissioners. 3 The Commissioners may, by notice given to the applicant, extend the date to comply with the request for additional information. 4 Where an applicant does not provide the additional information requested by the date given by the Commissioners, the application is treated as being withdrawn on that date. 5 Where paragraph (4) applies, the Commissioners must give notice to the applicant stating that the application has been treated as withdrawn.

PART 5PENALTIES AND FORFEITURE Penalties 11 A person who does not comply with regulation 3(1) is liable to a penalty of the amount specified in section 9(2)(b) of the Finance Act 1994 (penalties for contraventions of statutory requirements). Assessment of penalties 12 1 Where a person becomes liable for a penalty under regulation 11, the Commissioners may assess the penalty, and if they do so, they must notify the person liable. 2 A notice under paragraph (1) must state the contravention in respect of which the penalty is assessed. 3 Two or more contraventions may be treated by the Commissioners as a single contravention for the purposes of assessing a penalty. 4 A penalty assessed under paragraph (1) must be paid before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which the notification of the penalty is issued. 5 An assessment is to be treated as an amount of duty due from the person liable and may be recovered accordingly. 6 An assessment may not be made later than one year after the evidence of facts sufficient in the opinion of the Commissioners to indicate the contravention comes to their knowledge. Exceptions from liability to a penalty 13 1 A person is not liable to a penalty under regulation 11 in respect of a contravention if— a the contravention is not deliberate, and b the person satisfies the Commissioners that there is a reasonable excuse for the contravention. 2 For the purposes of paragraph (1)(b)— a where the person relies on another person to do anything, that is not a reasonable excuse unless the first person took reasonable care to avoid the contravention, b where the person had a reasonable excuse for the relevant act or failure but the excuse has ceased, the person is to be treated as having continued to have the excuse if the contravention is remedied without unreasonable delay after the excuse has ceased. Double jeopardy 14 A person is not liable to a penalty under regulation 11 in respect of a contravention in respect of which the person has been convicted of an offence. Forfeiture 15 Where a person carries out a regulated activity contrary to regulation 3(1), the item of tobacco products manufacturing machinery in respect of which the person carried out the activity is liable to forfeiture. PART 6ENFORCEMENT Application of the revenue trader provisions of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 16 The following provisions of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 have effect in relation to licensees as they have effect in relation to revenue traders— a section 112 (power of entry upon premises, etc. of revenue traders), b section 112A (section 112: supplementary powers), c section 118 (liability of ostensible owner or principal manager), d section 118BD (inspection powers: supplementary provision), and e section 158 (power to require provision of facilities). 17 1 Section 118B of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 (duty of revenue traders and others to furnish information and produce documents) has effect in relation to licensees as it has effect in relation to revenue traders as modified by paragraph (2). 2 In subsection (3)(b) for “virtue of section 118A above” substitute “by or under regulations made under section 8V of the Tobacco Products Duty Act 1979”. PART 7REVIEWS AND APPEALS Reviews and appeals 18 1 Any decision by the Commissioners that a person is liable to a penalty under regulation 11, or as to the amount of the person’s liability, is to be treated as if it were listed in section 13A(2) of the Finance Act 1994 (customs and excise reviews and appeals: meaning of “relevant decisions”), and accordingly, as if it were a relevant decision for the purposes mentioned in section 13A(1). 2 Each of the decisions of the Commissioners listed in paragraph (3) is to be treated as if it were listed in Schedule 5 to the Finance Act 1994 (decisions subject to appeal and review). 3 The decisions referred to are— a the refusal of an application to grant, vary or renew a licence, b the imposition of conditions or restrictions on a licence, c any other variation of a licence, and d the revocation of a licence.
