Relief that is not allowed U.K.

13.—(1) If it appears to the Commissioners that an amount of relief that the owner proposes to set-off is not allowed (“the disputed amount”) they may inform him that set-off is not permitted to the extent of the disputed amount.

(2) The notification given to the owner under paragraph (1) above must specify both the disputed amount and reasons why the relief is not allowed.

(3) If the owner has already set-off some or all of the disputed amount when he receives that notification, he must, without delay, inform the Commissioners in writing, specifying the amount set-off, the quantity of hydrocarbon oil [F1 , biodiesel] [F2 or bioblend] concerned, and the date that that oil [F1 , biodiesel] [F2 or bioblend] was marked.

(b) the owner's right to set-off an amount that a court or F3 ... tribunal determines is due to him; or

(c) the Commissioners' right to make an assessment of the disputed amount in accordance with section 24(4A) of the Oil Act M1 or section 12A of the Finance Act 1994 M2 (other assessments relating to excise duty matters).
