I3Reg. 70 in force at 6.4.2004, see reg. 1
71.—(1) This regulation modifies the amount payable or recoverable by an employer under regulation 68 in cases where regulation 64 (trade disputes) applies—
(a)by providing for the amount which would otherwise be payable by the employer for a tax period to be reduced by an amount of repayments (“R”) that cannot be made to employees in the tax period, and
(b)by providing—
(i)for amounts which would otherwise be payable in later tax periods to be increased, or
(ii)for amounts which would otherwise be recoverable in later tax periods to be reduced,
by a total of R.
(2) This regulation applies for consecutive tax periods—
(a)starting with the first tax period at the end of which there is an amount calculated as due to be repaid but which is required to be withheld by regulation 64(5) (tax to be withheld during strike action), and
(b)ending with the next tax period at the end of which no amount is required to be withheld by that regulation.
(3) Column 3 of Table 3 shows the amount payable under regulation 68(2) in the cases set out in column 2 for the first and subsequent tax periods.
1. Tax period | 2. Case | 3. Amount payable |
---|---|---|
First tax period | if B equals or exceeds A | nil |
First tax period | any other case | A − B, reduced by P (or by so much of P as reduces the amount payable to nil) |
Subsequent tax periods | if B equals or exceeds (A + Q) | nil |
Subsequent tax periods | any other case | (A + Q) − B, reduced by P (or by so much of P as reduces the amount payable to nil). |
(4) The amount (if any) recoverable under regulation 68(3) must be reduced to the extent that it includes amounts—
(a)for which reduction was made under paragraph (3) in an earlier tax period, or
(b)which are otherwise being recovered.
(5) In this regulation—
A is—
the total amount of tax which the employer was liable to deduct from relevant payments made by the employer in the tax period, plus
the total amount of tax for which the employer was liable to account in respect of notional payments made by the employer in that period under regulation 62(5) (notional payments);
B is the total amount which the employer is liable to repay in the tax period, not including any amounts—
for which a reduction was made under paragraph (3) in an earlier tax period; or
which are being recovered under paragraph (4);
P is the total of amounts calculated as due to be repaid in the tax period but required to be withheld during that tax period by regulation 64(5);
Q is the total of amounts—
which, because of regulation 64(5)(b), are set off against tax due to be deducted in the tax period, and
which also, under paragraph (3), have reduced the amount payable in an earlier tax period.
72.—(1) This regulation applies if—
(a)it appears to the Inland Revenue that the deductible amount exceeds the amount actually deducted, and
(b)condition A or B is met.
(2) In this regulation [F15and regulations 72A and 72B]—
“the deductible amount” is the amount which an employer was liable to deduct from relevant payments made to an employee in a tax period;
“the amount actually deducted” is the amount actually deducted by the employer from relevant payments made to that employee during that tax period;
“the excess” means the amount by which the deductible amount exceeds the amount actually deducted.
(3) Condition A is that the employer satisfies the Inland Revenue—
(a)that the employer took reasonable care to comply with these Regulations, and
(b)that the failure to deduct the excess was due to an error made in good faith.
(4) Condition B is that the Inland Revenue are of the opinion that the employee has received relevant payments knowing that the employer wilfully failed to deduct the amount of tax which should have been deducted from those payments.
(5) The Inland Revenue may direct that the employer is not liable to pay the excess to the Inland Revenue.
[F16(5A) Any direction under paragraph (5) must be made by notice (“the direction notice”), stating the date the notice was issued, to—
(a)the employer and the employee if condition A is met;
(b)the employee if condition B is met.
(5B) A notice need not be issued to the employee under paragraph (5A)(a) if neither the Inland Revenue nor the employer are aware of the employee’s address or last known address.]
(6) If a direction is made, the excess must not be added under regulation 185(5) or 188(3)(a) (adjustments to total net tax deducted for self-assessments and other assessments) in relation to the employee.
(7) If condition B is met, tax payable by an employee as a result of a direction carries interest, as if it were unpaid tax due from an employer, in accordance with regulation 82 (interest on tax overdue).
(8) The tax payable carries interest from the reckonable date until whichever is the earlier of—
(a)the date on which payment is made, or
(b)the date (if any) immediately before the date on which it begins to carry interest under section 86 of TMA(7).

(6) Information required to be provided by an employer in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (3) may be provided after the termination award is made but before the end of the tax year in which it is made.
(7) If information is provided in accordance with paragraph (6), paragraph (3)(b) and (c) have effect, so far as concerns the providing of information relating to the tax year, as if they required the amounts and benefits there specified to be estimated by the employer as accurately as possible.
