[F2 76ZE [F1 Retraining courses: recovery of tax] U.K.

(1) This section applies if—

(a) an employer's liability to corporation tax for an accounting period is determined on the assumption that it is entitled by virtue of section 76ZD to bring an amount into account in determining the amount of a deduction to be made under section 76, and

(b) without section 76ZD the employer would not have been so entitled.

(2) If, subsequently—

(a) the condition in section 311(4)(a) of ITEPA 2003 is not met because of the employee's failure to begin the course within the period of one year after ceasing to be employed, or

(b) the condition in section 311(4)(b) of ITEPA 2003 is not met because of the employee's continued employment or re-employment,

an assessment of an amount or further amount of corporation tax due as a result of the condition not being met may be made under paragraph 41 of Schedule 18 to FA 1998.

(3) Such an assessment must be made before the end of the period of 6 years immediately following the end of the accounting period in which the failure to meet the condition occurred.

(4) If subsection (2) applies, the employer must give an officer of Revenue and Customs a notice containing particulars of—

(a) the employee's failure to begin the course,

(b) the employee's continued employment, or

(c) the employee's re-employment,

within 60 days of coming to know of it.

(5) If an officer of Revenue and Customs has reason to believe that the employer has failed to give such a notice, the officer may by notice require the employer to provide such information as the officer may reasonably require for the purposes of this section about—

(a) the failure to begin the course,

(b) the continued employment, or

(c) the re-employment.

(6) A notice under subsection (5) may specify a time (not less than 60 days) within which the required information must be provided.]
