71.—(1) This regulation modifies the amount payable or recoverable by an employer under [F69regulations 67G and 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 [F7067G(2) [F71, as adjusted by regulation 67H(2) where appropriate,] or, as the case may be,] 68(2) in the cases set out in column 2 for the first and subsequent tax periods.

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 [F7367G [F74, as adjusted by regulation 67H(2) where appropriate,] or, as the case may be,] 68(3) must be reduced to the extent that it includes amounts—

(b)[F113HMRC] have reason to believe that the employer is liable to pay an amount of tax.
(3) Condition B is that—
(a)an employer has paid an amount of tax under regulation 68 for that tax period, but
(b)[F114HMRC] are not satisfied, after seeking the employer’s explanation, that it is the full amount which the employer is liable to pay for that period.
(4) [F115HMRC], on consideration of the employer’s record of past payments [F116whether of tax or of combined amounts], may—
(a)specify, to the best of their judgment, the amount of tax [F117or a combined amount] which they consider the employer is liable to pay, and
(b)serve notice on the employer requiring payment of that amount within 7 days of the issue of the notice (“the notice period”).
(5) If the notice extends to two or more consecutive tax periods in a tax year, this regulation has effect as if they were the latest tax period specified in the notice.
(6) If, during the notice period, the employer—
(a)claims that any payment made in respect of the tax period specified in the notice is [F118or includes] the full amount [F119of tax] the employer is liable to pay, but

(b)the employer satisfies [F128HMRC] that no amount, or no further amount, is due for that tax period.
(10) Paragraph (11) applies if the employer pays an amount [F129of tax, whether separately or as part of a combined amount, which is] certified under this regulation [F130and] which exceeds the amount the employer would have been liable to pay in respect of that tax period apart from this regulation.
(11) The employer is entitled to set off the excess [F131tax] against any amount which the employer is liable to pay under regulation 68 for any subsequent tax period in the tax year.
