(c)the LLP does not carry on a business with a view to profit in the relevant period (and, accordingly, its activities are not treated as mentioned in paragraph (b)(i)).
(2)For the purposes of the relevant enactments, treat the relevant return as a partnership return (and, accordingly, anything done under a relevant enactment in connection with the relevant return has the same effect as it would have if done in connection with a partnership return in a corresponding partnership case).

(i)sections 12AC and 28B (enquiries into partnership returns),

(1)A partnership return is conclusive for tax purposes as to—
(a)whether a person does or does not have a share in the profits or losses of the partnership for any period, and
(b)what the share of any person in those profits or losses is.
(2)That applies even where the person would not otherwise be chargeable to tax on profits of the partnership.
(3)If there is a dispute between the person mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or (b) and any one or more partners in the partnership about whether what is given in a partnership return is correct as to the matters mentioned in that subsection, a party to the dispute may refer it to the tribunal for determination.
(4)That does not include a dispute to the extent that it is in substance about the amount (before sharing) of the partnership's profits or losses for a period.
(5)A referral under subsection (3) must be made before the end of the period of 12 months beginning with the day after—
(a)the day on which the partnership return was delivered, or

(a)the person has delivered a return under section 8 for that year, or
(b)the person is at that time subject to a requirement to make and deliver such a return by virtue of a notice under section 8.

(3)A simple assessment is—
(a)an assessment of the amounts in which the person is chargeable to income tax and capital gains tax for the year of assessment to which it relates, and
(b)an assessment of the amount payable by the person by way of income tax for that year, that is to say, the difference between the amount in which the person is assessed to income tax under paragraph (a) and the aggregate amount of any income tax deducted at source;
but nothing in this subsection enables an assessment to show as repayable any income tax which any provision of the Income Tax Acts provides is not repayable.
(4)The amounts in which a person is chargeable to income tax and capital gains are net amounts, taking into account any relief or allowance that is applicable.
(5)A simple assessment must be based on information relating to the person that is held by HMRC (whether or not supplied by the person to whom the assessment relates).

(4)The amounts in which the relevant trustees are chargeable to income tax and capital gains are net amounts, taking into account any relief or allowance that is applicable.
(5)A simple assessment must be based only on information relating to the settlement that is held by HMRC (whether or not supplied by the relevant trustees).
(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,

(i)issued a partial closure notice as regards a matter to which the situation mentioned in subsection (1) above relates, or

(1)This section applies in a case involving a loss of income tax or capital gains tax, where—
(a)the lost tax involves an offshore matter, or
(b)the lost tax involves an offshore transfer which makes the lost tax significantly harder to identify.
(2)An assessment on a person (“the taxpayer”) may be made at any time not more than 12 years after the end of the year of assessment to which the lost tax relates.
This is subject to section 36(1A) above and any other provision of the Taxes Acts allowing a longer period.
(3)Lost income tax or capital gains tax “involves an offshore matter” if it is charged on or by reference to—
(a)income arising from a source in a territory outside the United Kingdom,
(b)assets situated or held in a territory outside the United Kingdom,
(c)income or assets received in a territory outside the United Kingdom,
(d)activities carried on wholly or mainly in a territory outside the United Kingdom, or
(e)anything having effect as if it were income, assets or activities of a kind described above.

(5)In subsection (4)—
“relevant date” means—
in a case where the taxpayer (or a person acting on the taxpayer's behalf) delivered a return under the Taxes Acts to HMRC for the year of assessment to which the lost tax relates and in which information relating to the lost tax was required to be provided, the date on which the return was delivered, and
in any other case, 31 January in the year of assessment after that to which the lost tax relates;
references to income or proceeds transferred include references to assets derived from or representing the income or proceeds.
(6)Where lost tax involves an offshore transfer, the cases in which the transfer makes the lost tax significantly harder to identify include any case where, because of the transfer—
(a)HMRC was significantly less likely to become aware of the lost tax, or
(b)HMRC was likely to become aware of the lost tax only at a significantly later time.
(7)But an assessment may not be made under subsection (2) if—
(a)before the time limit that would otherwise apply for making the assessment, HMRC received relevant overseas information on the basis of which HMRC could reasonably have been expected to become aware of the lost tax, and
(b)it was reasonable to expect the assessment to be made before that time limit.
(8)In subsection (7)(a) “relevant overseas information” means information which is provided to HMRC by an authority in a territory outside the United Kingdom under—
(a)any provision of EU law relating to any tax, or
(b)an agreement to which the United Kingdom and that territory are parties, with or without other parties.
(9)An assessment may also not be made under subsection (2) to the extent that liability to the lost tax arises as a result of an adjustment under Part 4 of TIOPA 2010 (transfer pricing adjustments).
(10)In this section “assets” has the meaning given in section 21(1) of the 1992 Act, but also includes sterling.
(11)Section 36(2) to (3A) applies for the purposes of this section (as if references to section 36(1) or (1A) were to subsection (1) of this section).”]

(b)where the appeal is against a conclusion stated by a closure notice, as a result of that conclusion,]

[F566(3)If the appellant has grounds for believing that the amendment or assessment overcharges the appellant to tax, or as a result of the conclusion stated in the closure notice the tax charged on the appellant is excessive, the appellant may—

(a)there is a change in the circumstances of the case as a result of which either party has grounds for believing that the amount so determined has become excessive or, as the case may be, insufficient, and
(b)the parties cannot agree on a revised determination,
the party mentioned in paragraph (a) may, at any time before the determination of the appeal, apply to the tribunal for a revised determination of that amount.]
[F573(5)Any such application is to be subject to the relevant provisions of Part 5 of this Act (see, in particular, section 48(2)(b)).]
(6)The amount of tax the payment of which shall be postponed pending the determination of the appeal shall be the amount (if any) in which it appears F574... that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the appellant is overcharged to tax; and—
[F575(a)in the case of a determination made on an application under subsection (3) above, other than an application made by virtue of subsection (3A) above, the date on which any tax the payment of which is not so postponed is due and payable shall be determined as if the tax were charged by an [F569amendment or assessment] notice of which was issued on the date of that determination and against which there had been no appeal; and

(a)the understated tax to which the payment specified in the notice under section 220(2)(b) of that Act relates,
(b)the disputed tax specified in the notice under section 221(2)(b) of that Act, F582...

(ii)the claimant company has failed to act in accordance with paragraph 75(6) of Schedule 18 to the Finance Act 1998].
(8D)Accordingly, if the payment of an amount of tax within subsection (8C)(b) is postponed by virtue of this section immediately before the accelerated payment notice is given, it ceases to be so postponed with effect from the time that notice is given, and the tax is due and payable—
(a)if no representations were made under section 222 of that Act in respect of the notice, on or before the last day of the period of 90 days beginning with the day the notice or partner payment notice is given, and
(b)if representations were so made, on or before whichever is later of—
(i)the last day of the 90 day period mentioned in paragraph (a), and
(ii)the last day of the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which HMRC's determination in respect of those representations is notified under section 222 of that Act.]
[F586(8E)If the payment of an amount of tax within subsection (8C)(ca) is postponed by virtue of this section immediately before notice of the amendment is given, it ceases to be so postponed with effect from the time that the notice of the amendment is given, and the tax is due and payable on or before—
(a)the last day of the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which the notice is given, or
(b)if later, the last day on which it would have been payable under subsection (8D) if it had been included in the amount specified in the accelerated payment notice or partner payment notice when that notice was given.]
[F587(9)On the determination of the appeal—
(a)the date on which any tax payable in accordance with that determination is due and payable shall, so far as it is tax the payment of which had been postponed, or which would not have been charged by the [F569amendment or assessment][F588, or as a result of the conclusion stated in the closure notice,] if there had been no appeal, be determined as if the tax were charged by an [F569amendment or assessment]—
(i)notice of which was issued on the date on which [F589HMRC issue] to the appellant a notice of the total amount payable in accordance with the determination, and
(ii)against which there had been no appeal; and
(b)any tax overpaid shall be repaid.]

(b)the second on or before the next following 31st July;
and, subject to [F616subsections [F617(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—

(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.

(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 [F619and 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.]

(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 [F621or subsection (4A) [F622or (4B)] above applies], there shall be made all such adjustments, whether by the repayment of amounts paid on account[F623, 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)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 [F626PAYE regulations] in subsequent years, F627...

(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.]

(1)A person who fails to comply with any of the provisions of Part 7 of the Finance Act 2004 (disclosure of tax avoidance schemes) mentioned in subsection (2) below shall be liable—
(a)to a penalty not exceeding
[F1047(i)in the case of a provision mentioned in paragraph (a), (b)[F1048, (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—
(a)section 308(1) and (3) (duty of promoter in relation to notifiable proposals and notifiable arrangements),
(b)section 309(1) (duty of person dealing with promoter outside United Kingdom),
(c)section 310 (duty of parties to notifiable arrangements not involving promoter), F1049...

(g)section 316A (duty to provide additional information)].
[F1065(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.
Failure | Relevant 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 306A | The 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 (1) of section 308 | The first day after the end of the period prescribed under that subsection |
Any other failure to comply with subsection (3) of section 308 | The first day after the end of the period prescribed under that subsection |
A failure to comply with subsection (1) of section 309 | The first day after the end of the period prescribed under that subsection |
A failure to comply with section 310 | The first day after the latest time by which section 310 must be complied with in the case concerned |
[F1066A 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 [F1067promoter's] failure to comply with section 308(1) or (3) [F1068or section 310A], to the amount of any fees received, or likely to have been received, by the [F1069promoter] 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 [F1070relevant] person's failure to comply with section 309(1)[F1071, 310 or 310A], to the amount of any advantage gained, or sought to be gained, by the [F1072relevant] person in relation to any tax prescribed under section 306(1)(b) in relation to the notifiable arrangements.
[F1073(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.]
[F1074(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 [F1075amounts 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 [F1076amounts 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 [F1077306A or] 314A and prescribed by the Commissioners by regulations.
(2D)The making of an order under section [F1078306A 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 [F1079306A 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.
[F1080(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 [F1081this section]—
(a)may include incidental or transitional provision,
(b)shall be made by statutory instrument,
(c)in the case of regulations under subsection [F1082(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 [F1083subsection (1) of section 313] of the Finance Act 2004 (duties of parties to notifiable arrangements to notify Board of reference number, etc.) [F1084or regulations under subsection (3) of that section] shall be liable to a [F1085penalty 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, [F1086£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 [F1087subsection (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, [F1088£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 [F1087subsection (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, [F1089£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.]

(b)the other 5 instalments are due one on each of the first 5 anniversaries of that day.
(2)But see paragraphs 10 to 12 for circumstances in which all or part of the outstanding balance of the deferred tax becomes due otherwise than by those instalments.

(a)the company becoming insolvent or entering administration;
(b)the appointment of a liquidator in respect of the company;
(c)an event under the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom corresponding to an event in paragraph (a) or (b);
(d)the company failing to pay any amount of the deferred tax for a period of 12 months after the date on which the amount becomes due;
(e)the company ceasing to be within the charge to corporation tax.

(b)during the instalments period a trigger event occurs in relation to a qualifying transaction identified in the plan, and
(c)a trigger event has not previously occurred in relation to that qualifying transaction during the instalments period.

(6)On the occurrence of the trigger event an amount of the deferred tax is due.
(7)The amount due is—
where—
“A” is the amount of the deferred tax that is attributable to the qualifying transaction (see paragraph 7(2)),
“B” is the amount of the deferred tax that has previously become due under paragraph 12 by reason of a partial trigger event occurring in relation to the qualifying transaction,
“O” is the amount of the deferred tax that is outstanding at the time of the trigger event, and
“T” is the amount of the deferred tax.
(8)In this paragraph “the instalments period” means the period—

(4)A partial trigger event occurs in relation to a qualifying transaction within sub-paragraph (5) of paragraph 3 if the transferee enters into a subsequent transaction which results in a reduction in the accounting value of the intangible fixed asset that is the subject of the qualifying transaction but does not result in the intangible fixed asset ceasing to be recognised in the transferee's balance sheet.
(5)In relation to an intangible fixed asset that has no balance sheet value (or no longer has a balance sheet value) sub-paragraph (4) applies as if, immediately before the subsequent transaction, it did have a balance sheet value.
(6)On the occurrence of the partial trigger event an amount of the deferred tax is due.
(7)The amount due is the amount that is just and reasonable having regard to the amount that would have been due had a trigger event occurred in relation to the qualifying transaction instead.
