PART 3Enquiry into return

Amendment of self assessment during enquiry to prevent loss of tax

10

1

If at a time when an enquiry is in progress into a return an officer of Revenue and Customs forms the opinion—

a

that the amount stated in the self assessment contained in the return as the amount of tax payable is insufficient, and

b

that unless the assessment is immediately amended there is likely to be a loss of tax to the Crown,

the officer may by notice in writing to the relevant person amend the assessment to make good the deficiency.

2

If the enquiry is one that is limited by paragraph 9(2) and (3) to matters arising from an amendment of the return, sub-paragraph (1) above applies only so far as the deficiency is attributable to the amendment.

3

For the purposes of this paragraph the period during which an enquiry is in progress is the whole of the period—

a

beginning with the day on which the notice of enquiry is given, and

b

ending with the day on which the enquiry is completed.
