(2)In calculating potential lost revenue where P is liable to a penalty under section 182 in respect of one or more understatements in one or more documents relating to a tax period, account is to be taken of any overstatement in any document given by P which relates to the same tax period.

(3)In subsection (2)—

(a)understatement” means an inaccuracy that meets condition A in section 182, and

(b)overstatement” means an inaccuracy that does not meet that condition.
