(4)The matters mentioned in subsection (1)(c) are—

(a)whether or not income tax will be chargeable at the higher rate or the dividend upper rate in respect of P's income for year Y (see section 4(4) of the 1992 Act), and

(a)a return under section 8A has been delivered for that year by the relevant trustees or any of them, or

(6)The notice of a simple assessment required by section 30A(3) may be given to any one or more of the relevant trustees.

(7)That notice must (among other things)—

(a)include particulars of the income and gains, and any relief or allowance, taken into account in the assessment, and

(b)state any amount payable by the relevant trustees by virtue of section 59BA (with particulars of how it may be paid and the date by which it is payable).

(8)The tax to be assessed by a simple assessment does not include any tax which—

(a)is chargeable on the scheme administrator of a registered pension scheme under Part 4 of Finance Act 2004,

(b)is chargeable on the sub-scheme administrator of a sub-scheme under Part 4 of the Finance Act 2004 as modified by the Registered Pension Schemes (Splitting of Schemes) Regulations 2006, or

(c)is chargeable on the person who is (or persons who are) the responsible person in relation to an employer-financed retirement benefits scheme under section 394(2) of ITEPA 2003.

(9)Nothing in this section prevents HMRC issuing more than one simple assessment in respect of the same settlement and the same year of assessment (whether or not any earlier simple assessment for that year is withdrawn).

(10)In this section references to a “simple assessment” are to an assessment under this section.

(11)In this Act references to the person to whom a simple assessment relates are, in relation to one made under this section, to the relevant trustees of the settlement to which it relates.

(1)[F540Subject to subsection (9) below,] this section applies to any person (the taxpayer) as regards a year of assessment if as regards the immediately preceding year—

(a)he [F541is assessed] to income tax under section 9 of this Act in any amount, and

(b)that amount (the assessed amount) exceeds the amount of any income tax which has been deducted at source, and

(c)the amount of the excess (the relevant amount) is not less than such amount as may be prescribed by regulations made by the Board, and

(d)the proportion which the relevant amount bears to the assessed amount is not less than such proportion as may be so prescribed.

(2)Subject to subsection (3) below, the taxpayer shall make two payments on account of his liability to income tax for the year of assessment—

(a)the first on or before the 31st January in that year, and

(b)the second on or before the next following 31st July;

and, subject to [F542subsections [F543(4) to (4B)]] below, each of those payments on account shall be of an amount equal to 50 per cent. of the relevant amount.

(3)If, at any time before the 31st January next following the year of assessment, the taxpayer makes a claim under this subsection stating—

(a)his belief that he will not be assessed to income tax for that year, or that the amount in which he will be so assessed will not exceed the amount of income tax deducted at source, and

(b)his grounds for that belief,

each of the payments on account shall not be, and shall be deemed never to have been, required to be made.

(4)If, at any time before the 31st January next following the year of assessment, the taxpayer makes a claim under this subsection stating—

(a)his belief that the amount in which he will be assessed to income tax for that year will exceed the amount of income tax deducted at source by a stated amount which is less than the relevant amount, and

(b)his grounds for that belief,

the amount of each of the payments on account required to be made shall be, and shall be deemed always to have been, equal to 50 per cent. of the stated amount.

[F544(4A)If as regards the year immediately preceding the year of assessment—

(a)the taxpayer is assessed to income tax under section 9 of this Act after the date on or before which either payment on account is required to be made, or

(b)his assessment to income tax under that section is amended after that date,

then, subject to subsections (3) and (4) above [F545and subsection (4B) below] and to any subsequent application of this subsection, the amount of the payment on account shall be, and shall be deemed always to have been, equal to 50 per cent. of the relevant amount as determined on the basis of the assessment or, as the case may be, the assessment as amended.]

[F546(4B)If as regards the year immediately preceding the year of assessment the taxpayer is assessed to income tax under section 29 of this Act in any amount, then, subject to subsections (3) and (4) above and to any subsequent application of this subsection, the amount of each payment on account shall be, and shall be deemed always to have been, the total of—

(a)the amount which, immediately before the making of the assessment under section 29, is the amount of that payment, and

(b)an amount equal to 50 per cent. of the amount in which he is assessed under that assessment;

and if that assessment is varied, the amount in which he is assessed under it shall be taken for the purposes of paragraph (b) above to be the amount of the assessment as varied.]

(5)Where the taxpayer makes a claim under subsection (3) or (4) above [F547or subsection (4A) [F548or (4B)] above applies], there shall be made all such adjustments, whether by the repayment of amounts paid on account[F549, by the making of payments or further payments on account] or otherwise, as may be required to give effect to the provisions of that subsection.

(6)Where the taxpayer fraudulently or negligently makes any incorrect statement in connection with a claim under subsection (3) or (4) above, he shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding the difference between—

(a)the amount which would have been payable on account if he had made a correct statement, and

(b)the amount of the payment on account (if any) made by him.

(a)any income tax deducted or treated as deducted from any income, or treated as paid on any income, in respect of the year, and

(b)any amounts which, in respect of the year, are to be deducted at source under [F552PAYE regulations] in subsequent years, F553...

exceeds the aggregate of any amounts which, in the year, are deducted at source under [F554PAYE regulations] in respect of previous years.

(9)If, at any time before the 31st January next following a year of assessment, an officer of the Board so directs—

(a)this section shall not apply, and shall be deemed never to have applied, as regards that year to any person specified in the direction; and

(b)there shall be made all such adjustments, whether by the repayment of amounts paid on account or otherwise, as may be required to give effect to the direction.]

(a)to a penalty not exceeding

[F965(i)in the case of a provision mentioned in paragraph (a), (b)[F966, (c) or (ca)] of that subsection, £600 for each day during the initial period (but see also subsections (2A), (2B) and (2ZC) below), and

(2)Those provisions are—

(b)section 309(1) (duty of person dealing with promoter outside United Kingdom),

[F983(2ZA)In this section “the initial period” means the period—

(a)beginning with the relevant day, and

(b)ending with the earlier of the day on which the penalty under subsection (1)(a)(i) is determined and the last day before the failure ceases;

and for this purpose “the relevant day” is the day specified in relation to the failure in the following table.

FailureRelevant day
A failure to comply with subsection (1) or (3) of section 308 in so far as the subsection applies by virtue of an order under section 306AThe first day after the end of the period prescribed under section 306A(6)
A failure to comply with subsection (1) or (3) of section 308 in so far as the subsection applies by virtue of an order under section 308A(2)The first day after the end of the period prescribed under subsections (5) and (6)(a) of section 308A (as it may have been extended by a direction under subsection (6)(b) of that section)

Any other failure to comply with subsection (3) of section 308The first day after the end of the period prescribed under that subsection
A failure to comply with subsection (1) of section 309The first day after the end of the period prescribed under that subsection

[F984A failure to comply with section 310A The first day after the end of the period within which the person must comply with section 310A.]

(2ZB)The amount of a penalty under subsection (1)(a)(i) is to be arrived at after taking account of all relevant considerations, including the desirability of its being set at a level which appears appropriate for deterring the person, or other persons, from similar failures to comply on future occasions having regard (in particular)—

(a)in the case of a penalty for a [F985promoter's] failure to comply with section 308(1) or (3) [F986or section 310A], to the amount of any fees received, or likely to have been received, by the [F987promoter] in connection with the notifiable proposal (or arrangements implementing the notifiable proposal), or with the notifiable arrangements, and

(b)in the case of a penalty for a [F988relevant] person's failure to comply with section 309(1)[F989, 310 or 310A], to the amount of any advantage gained, or sought to be gained, by the [F990relevant] person in relation to any tax prescribed under section 306(1)(b) in relation to the notifiable arrangements.

[F991(2ZBA)In subsection (2ZB)—

(a)promoter” has the same meaning as in Part 7 of the Finance Act 2004, and

(b)relevant person” means a person who enters into any transaction forming part of notifiable arrangements within the meaning of that Part.]

(2ZC)If the maximum penalty under subsection (1)(a)(i) above appears inappropriately low after taking account of those considerations, the penalty is to be of such amount not exceeding £1 million as appears appropriate having regard to those considerations.

(2ZD)Where it appears to an officer of Revenue and Customs that a penalty under subsection (1)(a)(i) above has been determined on the basis that the initial period begins with a day later than that which the officer considers to be the relevant day, an officer of Revenue and Customs may commence proceedings for a re-determination of the penalty.

(2ZE)The Treasury may by regulations vary—

(a)any of the sums for the time being specified in subsection (1) above, and

(b)the sum specified in subsection (2ZC) above.]

[F992(2A)Where a failure to comply with a provision mentioned in subsection (2) concerns a proposal or arrangements in respect of which an order has been made under section 306A of the Finance Act 2004 (doubt as to notifiability), the [F993amounts specified in subsection (1)(a)(i) and (b) above shall be increased to the prescribed sum in relation to days falling after the prescribed period].

(2B)Where a failure to comply with a provision mentioned in subsection (2) concerns a proposal or arrangements in respect of which an order has been made under section 314A of the Finance Act 2004 (order to disclose), the [F994amounts specified in subsection (1)(a)(i) and (b)] above shall be increased to the prescribed sum in relation to days falling after the prescribed period.

(2C)In subsection (2A) and (2B)—

(a)the prescribed sum” means a sum prescribed by the Treasury by regulations, and

(b)the prescribed period” means a period beginning with the date of the order under section [F995306A or] 314A and prescribed by the Commissioners by regulations.

(2D)The making of an order under section [F996306A or] 314A of that Act does not of itself mean that, for the purposes of section 118(2) of this Act, a person either did or did not have a reasonable excuse for non-compliance before the order was made.

(2E)Where an order is made under section [F997306A or] 314A of that Act then for the purposes of section 118(2) of this Act—

(a)the person identified in the order as the promoter of the proposal or arrangements cannot, in respect of any time after the end of the period mentioned in subsection (2B), rely on doubt as to notifiability as an excuse for failure to comply with section 308 of that Act, and

(b)any delay in compliance with that section after the end of that period is unreasonable unless attributable to something other than doubt as to notifiability.

[F998(2EA)Where a person fails to comply with—

(a)section 309 of that Act and the promoter for the purposes of that section is a monitored promoter for the purposes of Part 5 of the Finance Act 2014, or

(b)section 310 of that Act and the arrangements for the purposes of that section are arrangements of such a monitored promoter,

then for the purposes of section 118(2) of this Act legal advice which the person took into account is to be disregarded in determining whether the person had a reasonable excuse, if the advice was given or procured by that monitored promoter.

(2EB)In determining for the purpose of section 118(2) of this Act whether or not a person who is a monitored promoter within the meaning of Part 5 of the Finance Act 2014 had a reasonable excuse for a failure to do anything required to be done under a provision mentioned in subsection (2), reliance on legal advice is to be taken automatically not to constitute a reasonable excuse if either—

(a)the advice was not based on a full and accurate description of the facts, or

(b)the conclusions in the advice that the person relied on were unreasonable.]

(2F)Regulations under [F999this section]

(a)may include incidental or transitional provision,

(b)shall be made by statutory instrument,

(c)in the case of regulations under subsection [F1000(2ZE) or] (2C)(a), shall not be made unless a draft has been laid before and approved by resolution of the House of Commons, and

(d)in the case of regulations under subsection (2C)(b), shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons.]

(3)A person who fails to comply with [F1001subsection (1) of section 313] of the Finance Act 2004 (duties of parties to notifiable arrangements to notify Board of reference number, etc.) [F1002or regulations under subsection (3) of that section] shall be liable to a [F1003penalty not exceeding the relevant sum].

(4)In subsection (3) above “the relevant sum” means—

(a)in relation to a person not falling within paragraph (b) or (c) below, [F1004£5,000] in respect of each scheme to which the failure relates,

(b)in relation to a person who has previously failed to comply with section [F1005subsection (1) of section 313 or regulations under subsection (3) of that section] on one (and only one) occasion during the period of 36 months ending with the date on which the current failure to comply with that provision began, [F1006£7,500] in respect of each scheme to which the current failure relates (whether or not the same as the scheme to which the previous failure relates), or

(c)in relation to a person who has previously failed to comply with section [F1005subsection (1) of section 313 or regulations under subsection (3) of that section] on two or more occasions during the period of 36 months ending with the date on which the current failure to comply with that provision began, [F1007£10,000] in respect of each scheme to which the current failure relates (whether or not the same as the schemes to which any of the previous failures relates).

(5)In subsection (4) above “scheme” means any notifiable arrangements within the meaning of Part 7 of the Finance Act 2004.]
