Accounting and assessment

I1C2C12254Accounting for tax by scheme administrators

1

A scheme administrator of a registered pension scheme must make returns to the Inland Revenue of the income tax to which the scheme administrator is liable under this Part.

2

A return is to be made for each period of three months ending with 31st March, 30th June, 30th September or 31st December if tax has been charged on the scheme administrator by virtue of this Part in that period.

3

A return for any period must be made before the end of the period of 45 days beginning with the day immediately following the end of that period.

4

A return must—

a

show the income tax to which the scheme administrator is liable, and

b

include such particulars of the events or other circumstances giving rise to the liability (including particulars as to the persons to whom the events or other circumstances relate) as are required to be included in returns under this section by regulations made by the Board of Inland Revenue.

5

The income tax required to be shown in a return is due at the time by which the return is to be made and is payable without the making of an assessment.

6

The Board of Inland Revenue may by regulations make provision for and in connection with—

a

the charging of interest on tax due under this section which is not paid on or before the due date,

b

the making of amended returns by scheme administrators in the event of error in a return under this section,

c

the making of assessments, repayments or adjustments in cases where the correct tax due under this section has not been paid on or before the due date, and

d

otherwise for supplementing this section.

7

The regulations may, in particular—

a

modify the operation of any provision of the Tax Acts, or

b

provide for the application of any provision of the Tax Acts (with or without modifications).

F17A

Where a scheme administrator is liable under section 237B in respect of the annual allowance charge for a tax year, for the purposes of subsection (2) the tax is to be taken to be charged on the scheme administrator in the period ending with 31 December in the year following that in which that tax year ended (or such earlier period as the scheme administrator may elect in a return for that earlier period).

7B

But if the notice which gave rise to the liability is amended in accordance with regulations under section 237B(5)(c), any additional tax to which the scheme administrator becomes liable is to be taken for the purposes of subsection (2) to be charged in the later of the period in which it is taken to be charged by virtue of subsection (7A) and the period in which the scheme administrator receives notice of the amendment.

8

References in this section to the income tax to which a scheme administrator is liable under this Part do not include any to which the scheme administrator is liable under section 239 (scheme sanction charge).

9

Where the registration of a registered pension scheme has been withdrawn, this section has effect as if references to the scheme administrator were to the person who was, or each of the persons who were, the scheme administrator immediately before the registration was withdrawn.
