Arrive at an amount in the same way as the total pension input amount would be arrived at for the purposes of the annual allowance charge in accordance with sections 229 to 237 of FA 2004 (assuming that it were necessary to arrive at it for that purpose) but subject to— Then reduce the amount so arrived at by the aggregate of— and, if the tax year is the tax year 2009-10, any pre-22 April 2009 pension input amount (see paragraph 16).
The following paragraphs make provision for protected pension input amounts in respect of arrangements under registered pension schemes— Paragraph 14 makes anti-avoidance provision in relation to all the varieties of arrangements covered by paragraphs 8 to 13.
This paragraph applies in respect of a money purchase arrangement, other than a cash balance arrangement, if the arrangement is under an occupational pension scheme or a public service pension scheme or forms part of a group personal pension scheme. If the individual pays relevant additional voluntary contributions under the arrangement in the tax year, the amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to the arrangement is a protected pension input amount to the extent that it is attributable to those contributions. Relevant additional voluntary contributions are additional voluntary contributions paid— To the extent that the amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to the arrangement is attributable to contributions other than relevant additional voluntary contributions it is a protected pension input amount to the extent specified in sub-paragraph (5) if the individual has been an active member of the pension scheme by reference to the arrangement since before 22 April 2009 and until the relevant end date. That amount is a protected pension input amount to the extent that it is attributable to contributions paid— In this paragraph “the relevant end date” means the end of the tax year or, if earlier, the time when the individual ceases to be an active member of the pension scheme by reference to the arrangement.
This paragraph applies in respect of an arrangement if— If the arrangement falls within sub-paragraph (1)(b)(i), this paragraph does not apply in respect of it if— “The relevant period” is the period— The amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to the arrangement is a protected pension input amount except to the extent that it is attributable to the payment of added years contributions or additional voluntary contributions. “Added years contributions” are contributions paid with a view to securing that the calculation of benefits under the arrangement is by reference to a period of service in excess of pensionable service by the individual. An arrangement relates to an employment of the individual if— An arrangement is “re-activated” if the individual, having ceased to be an active member of the pension scheme by reference to the arrangement, again becomes such a member.
This paragraph makes provision for the extent (if any) to which the amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to an arrangement is a pre-22 April 2009 pension input amount. In relation to a defined benefits arrangement or cash balance arrangement, a pre-22 April 2009 pension input amount is such proportion of what would otherwise be the amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) as, on a just and reasonable apportionment, relates to the period beginning with 6 April 2009 and ending with 21 April 2009. In relation to a money purchase arrangement that is not a cash balance arrangement, a pre-22 April 2009 pension input amount is so much of the amount of the contributions within section 233 of FA 2004 as are paid in the period beginning with 6 April 2009 and ending with 21 April 2009, other than any contributions paid pursuant to an agreement for the payment of contributions on a quarterly or more frequent basis. In relation to a hybrid arrangement, a pre-22 April 2009 pension input amount is the greater or greatest of the amounts under the sub-paragraph or sub-paragraphs applicable in relation to it. For this purpose—
The Treasury may by order made by statutory instrument amend paragraph 1(8) so as to vary the rate of the special annual allowance charge. An order under sub-paragraph (1) may make provision for there to be different rates in different circumstances. The Treasury may by order made by statutory instrument amend paragraphs 2 to 18. An order under sub-paragraph (3) may make provision having effect in relation to times before it is made if it does not increase any person’s liability to tax. No order may be made under sub-paragraph (1) unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing it has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, the House of Commons. A statutory instrument containing an order under sub-paragraph (3) is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons.
This paragraph does not apply for the purposes of the special annual allowance charge.
The second transaction is not to be regarded for the purposes of TCGA 1992 as an acquisition by P or a disposal by Q if— Where the interest in the land is replaced as the bond asset by an interest in other land, this paragraph is subject to paragraph 18. This paragraph is also subject to paragraph 20.
The amendments (and repeals) made by paragraphs 2(3) and 4 to 10 come into force on 22 April 2009.
In section 142 (special provision for cars registered before 1998)—
in subsection (3) (cars without internal combustion engine with reciprocating pistons), for the words after “year is” substitute “32%”, and
omit subsection (4) (definition of electrically propelled car).
This paragraph applies where any of the provisions repealed by paragraph 8 applies in relation to anything done by a company before 22 April 2009 which amounts to becoming party to an arrangement (within the meaning given by section 486B(9) of CTA 2009). The company is to be treated for the purposes of Chapter 2A of Part 6 of CTA 2009 as having become a party to the arrangement on that date. But this paragraph does not apply in circumstances in which paragraph 15 does.
This paragraph applies where Chapter 7 of Part 6 of CTA 2009 applies in relation to a share held by a company immediately before 22 April 2009. Section 116B(1) of TCGA 1992 is to be treated as applying as if section 523 of CTA 2009 ceased to apply in relation to the share on that date. But this paragraph does not apply if paragraph 15 applies in relation to the share and the company.
This paragraph applies where— Part 5 of CTA 2009 applies as if the company had acquired the share on 22 April 2009 for an amount equal to the notional carrying value of the share on that date. In sub-paragraph (2) “notional carrying value” has the same meaning as in section 521F(2) of CTA 2009 (see subsection (3) of that section). Section 521F of CTA 2009 does not apply by virtue of the coming into force of section 521B of that Act.
An election under— relating to a return which begins to be produced before 1 August 2009 can be made at any time before that date but only in relation to any return produced on or after the day on which the election is made.

section 521E(2) of that Act,
“related transaction”.
This paragraph applies where, apart from this paragraph, an amount (“the relevant amount”) is— The relevant amount is treated as not being a financing expense amount or a financing income amount of the company if the following conditions are met. The first condition is that the company is treated, in the accounting period in which the amount is brought into account, as carrying on a ring fence trade (see section 502 of ICTA). The second condition is that the amount falls to be brought into account in calculating the profits of that trade for that accounting period.
For the purposes of paragraph 60 the finance arrangement is a short-term loan relationship as respects the period of account of the worldwide group (“the relevant period”) if— The first condition is that the finance arrangement does not terminate during the relevant period and— The second condition is that the finance arrangement terminates during, or after the end of, the relevant period and— The Treasury may by regulations make provision about other circumstances in which the finance arrangement is to be taken not to be a short-term loan relationship as respects— Regulations under sub-paragraph (4) may include provision for the finance arrangement to be taken never to have been a short-term loan relationship as respects the relevant period or the part or parts of it. No regulations may be made under sub-paragraph (4) unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing them has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, the House of Commons. The Commissioners may by regulations make provision (including provision conferring a discretion on the Commissioners) about circumstances in which regulations under sub-paragraph (4) are not to apply in relation to the finance arrangements.
This paragraph applies where, apart from this paragraph, an amount (“the relevant amount”) is a financing expense amount of a company (“company A”) by virtue of meeting condition A in paragraph 54. The relevant amount is treated as not being a financing expense amount of company A, but only if an election is made for this purpose. Such an election may not be made unless the following conditions are met. The first condition is that company A and the other party to the finance arrangement (“company B”) are both members of the worldwide group. The second condition is that company B is a company with investment business (within the meaning of Part 16 of CTA 2009) and— The third condition is that company B is allowed a deduction under section 1219 of CTA 2009 (expenses of management of a company’s investment business) in respect of an accounting period that falls wholly or partly within the period of account of the worldwide group (“the relevant period”). The fourth condition is that the amount of the deduction allowed is equal to, or greater than, the relevant amount. The fifth condition is that the calculation of company B’s total profits for the relevant period for the purposes of corporation tax results in a loss if company B’s credit is not included in that calculation. An election under this paragraph may only be made— In this paragraph “company B’s credit” means the credit to company B that arises from the debit to company A by virtue of which condition A in paragraph 54 is met.
This paragraph applies where, apart from this paragraph, an amount (“the relevant amount”) is a financing expense amount of a company by virtue of meeting condition A, B or C in paragraph 54. The relevant amount is treated as not being a financing expense amount of the company if the creditor is— The Commissioners may not prescribe a person, or a description of persons, for the purposes of this paragraph unless they are satisfied that the person, or each of the persons within the description, has functions some or all of which are of a public nature. In this paragraph—
References in this Schedule to the “tested income amount” for the period of account of the worldwide group are to the sum of the net financing incomes of each UK group company. The reference in sub-paragraph (1) to the “net financing income” of a company for a period of account of the worldwide group is to— References in sub-paragraph (2) to a company’s financing expense amounts or financing income amounts for a period of account of the worldwide group do not include any amount that arises as a result of a transaction that takes place at a time at which the company is not a UK group company. Where the amount determined in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) is negative, the net financing income of the company for the period is nil. Where the amount determined in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) is small (see paragraph 72), the net financing income of the company for the period is nil.
In calculating the available amount, an amount disclosed in the financial statements of the worldwide group (“the external finance amount”) must be disregarded if the following conditions are met. Condition A is that a member of the worldwide group is treated in a relevant accounting period as carrying on a ring fence trade (see section 502 of ICTA). Condition B is that the external finance amount falls to be brought into account for the purposes of corporation tax in calculating the profits of that trade for that accounting period. In this paragraph “relevant accounting period”, in relation to a member of the worldwide group, means an accounting period of the member that falls wholly or partly within the period of account.

This Part applies to a company in respect of a new oil field and an accounting period if the following conditions are met.

Condition C is that the company holds an unactivated amount of field allowance for the field at the beginning of the accounting period.

For the purposes of this Part, the accounting period, or (if the company is not a licensee for the whole of the accounting period) the part or parts of the accounting period for which the company is a licensee, is to be divided into reference periods. A reference period is a period of consecutive days that meets the following conditions.

Condition C is that, at the beginning of the first day of the period, the company holds an unactivated amount of field allowance for the field. Condition D is that each day in the period falls within the accounting period.
The unactivated amount of the field allowance for the new oil field which the transferor holds immediately before the disposal is to be reduced by the following amount— where— F is the unactivated amount of the field allowance which the transferor holds immediately before the disposal, E1 is the transferor’s share of the equity in the new oil field immediately before the disposal, and E2 is the transferor’s share of the equity in the new oil field immediately after the disposal. This paragraph has effect at the end of the day on which the disposal takes place.

The Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs may by order make provision about the amount of the total field allowance for any description of new oil field (whether or not provision has been made under sub-paragraph (1) about that description of new oil field). An order under this paragraph may, in particular, amend any or all of paragraphs 20 to 24. An order under this paragraph is to be made by statutory instrument. No order may be made under this paragraph unless a draft of the instrument containing it has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, the House of Commons.
The senior accounting officer of a qualifying company must take reasonable steps to ensure that the company establishes and maintains appropriate tax accounting arrangements. The senior accounting officer of a qualifying company must, in particular, take reasonable steps—
This paragraph applies if a senior accounting officer fails to comply with paragraph 1 at any time in a financial year. The senior accounting officer is liable to a penalty of £5,000. A person is not liable to more than one penalty under this paragraph in respect of the same company and the same financial year.
A qualifying company is liable to a penalty of £5,000 if, for a financial year, the Commissioners are not notified of the name or names of its senior accounting officer or officers in accordance with paragraph 3.
A person may appeal against a decision of HMRC that a penalty is payable by that person. Notice of an appeal must be given— Notice of an appeal must state the grounds of appeal. On an appeal that is notified to the tribunal, the tribunal may confirm or cancel the decision. Subject to this paragraph and paragraph 11, the provisions of Part 5 of TMA 1970 relating to appeals have effect in relation to appeals under this Schedule as they have effect in relation to an appeal against an assessment to income tax.
Subject to the provisions of this Schedule, the following provisions of TMA 1970 apply for the purposes of this Schedule as they apply for the purposes of the Taxes Acts—
section 108 (responsibility of company officers),
section 114 (want of form), and

This paragraph applies where expenditure incurred by a person on the provision of a car or motor cycle includes both new expenditure and old expenditure. The new expenditure and the old expenditure are to be treated as if they were incurred on the provision of separate (but identical) cars or motor cycles. Any amount required to be brought into account in connection with a disposal event in respect of the car or motor cycle mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) is to be apportioned on a just and reasonable basis.
This Part applies where, for a period of account of the worldwide group to which this Schedule applies (“the relevant period of account”)— In this Part the “total disallowed amount” means the difference between the amounts referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of sub-paragraph (1).
In this Part “the reporting body” means—
in a case in which an appointment under paragraph 29 has effect in relation to the relevant period of account, the company appointed under that paragraph, and
in a case in which such an appointment does not have effect in relation to the relevant period of account, the companies to which this Part applies, acting jointly.
This paragraph applies in relation to a statement of allocated exemptions submitted under paragraph 31 or 32. The statement must be signed— The statement must show— The statement must— For this purpose “the relevant details”, in relation to a financing income amount, are— The sum of the amounts specified under sub-paragraph (4)(b) must not exceed the lower of— In this paragraph “the appropriate person”, in relation to a company, means— Subsections (3) and (4) of section 108 of TMA 1970 (responsibility of company officers: meaning of “proper officer”) apply for the purposes of this paragraph as they apply for the purposes of that section. For the meaning of “financing income amount”, see Part 7.
The Commissioners may by regulations make further provision about a statement of allocated exemptions including, in particular, provision—
about the form of a statement and the manner in which it is to be submitted,
requiring a person to give information to HMRC in connection with a statement,
as to circumstances in which a statement that is not received by the time specified in paragraph 31(2) or 32(2) is to be treated as if it were so received, and
as to circumstances in which a statement that does not comply with the requirements of paragraph 33 is to be treated as if it did so comply.

References in this Schedule to the “available amount” for a period of account of the worldwide group are to the sum of the amounts disclosed in the financial statements of the group for that period in respect of— An amount that falls within any of paragraphs (a) to (g) of sub-paragraph (1) is to be disregarded for the purposes of that sub-paragraph to the extent that—
In calculating the available amount, an amount disclosed in the financial statements of the worldwide group (“the external finance amount”) must be disregarded if the following conditions are met. Condition A is that a member of the worldwide group is treated in a relevant accounting period as carrying on a separate business under section 113 of FA 2006 (ring-fencing of tax exempt business). Condition B is that the external finance amount falls to be brought into account in calculating the profits arising from that business in that accounting period. In this paragraph “relevant accounting period”, in relation to a member of the worldwide group, means an accounting period of the member that falls wholly or partly within the period of account.
Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) and (3), in this Schedule “group” has the meaning for the time being given by international accounting standards. Where a group would (apart from this sub-paragraph) contain more than one ultimate parent, each of those ultimate parents, together with its subsidiaries, is to be treated as a separate group. An entity that is a parent of the ultimate parent of a group is to be treated as not being a member of the group. Sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) do not apply for the purposes of paragraph 80.
In this Schedule “relevant non-corporate entity” means an entity— Condition A is that shares or other interests in the entity are listed on a recognised stock exchange. Condition B is that the shares or other interests in the entity are sufficiently widely held. For this purpose shares or other interests in an entity are “sufficiently widely held” if no participator in the entity holds more than 10% by value of all the shares or other interests in the entity. Section 417(1) of ICTA (meaning of participator) applies for the purposes of this paragraph. In the application of that provision for those purposes, references to a company are to be treated as references to an entity.
For the purposes of this Schedule a group is “large” at any time if (and only if) any member of the group is not at that time within the category of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises as defined in the Annex to Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC of 6 May 2003 (“the Annex”). In its application by virtue of sub-paragraph (1), the Annex has effect subject to the following qualifications. Where a member of the group is in liquidation or administration, the rights of the liquidator or administrator (in that capacity) are to be left out of account when applying Article 3(3)(b). Article 3 has effect with the omission of paragraph (5) (declaration in good faith where control cannot be determined etc). The first sentence of Article 4(1) has effect as if the reference to the latest approved accounting period of a member of the group were to the current accounting period of that member. Article 4 has effect with the omission of—
This paragraph applies where— This Schedule (apart from this paragraph) applies as if IAS financial statements had been drawn up in respect of the period. For the purposes of this paragraph financial statements are “acceptable” if— Condition A is that— are the same. Condition B is that— are the same. Condition C is that the amounts mentioned in paragraph 73(1)(a) to (d) in the financial statements are calculated using the effective interest method. In this paragraph references to IAS financial statements of the worldwide group for a period are to financial statements of the group for the period drawn up in accordance with international accounting standards.
References in this Schedule (except in Part 2) to an amount disclosed in financial statements for a period are, where the amount is expressed in a currency other than sterling, to that amount translated into its sterling equivalent. The exchange rate by reference to which the amount is to be translated is the average rate of exchange for the period calculated from daily spot rates.
In this Schedule—
In section 32(1) of TCGA 1992 (value shifting: disposals within group followed by disposal of shares), after “171(1)” insert “or 211”. The amendment made by sub-paragraph (1) has effect for determining whether section 30 of TCGA 1992 has effect as respects a disposal on or after 22 April 2009.
Section 418 of CTA 2009 (loan relationships treated differently by connected debtor and creditor) is amended as follows. In subsection (1)(b), for “A, B and C” substitute “A and B”. For subsections (2) to (4) substitute— After subsection (6) insert— In subsection (7), for “Section 419 supplements” substitute “Sections 418A and 419 supplement”. In the heading, for “treated differently by connected debtor and creditor” substitute “involving connected debtor and creditor where debits exceed credits”. After section 418 insert— The amendments made by this paragraph have effect in relation to debits and credits arising on or after 22 April 2009.
In paragraph 6(3) (meaning of “business of leasing plant or machinery”: condition A), for “accounting value of the plant or machinery owned by the relevant company on the relevant day” substitute “relevant plant or machinery value”.
Paragraph 17 (meaning of “PM” in paragraph 16) is amended as follows. In sub-paragraph (1)— For the purposes of paragraph 16 “PM” is the aggregate of the amounts in sub-paragraph (2A), but subject to paragraph 17A. The amounts are— For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2A)(b) plant or machinery is “relevant transferred plant or machinery” if an amount in respect of it would be shown in the appropriate balance sheet of an associated company drawn up as at the start of the relevant day. In sub-paragraph (3), for “this purpose” substitute “the purposes of this paragraph”. In sub-paragraph (7)(a), omit “as at the start of the relevant day”.
Omit paragraph 40 (relationship of Schedule with section 228K of CAA 2001).
In FA 2007, in Schedule 6, omit paragraph 2(3).

But even in that case the whole of the amount so arrived at, to the extent that it is so attributable, is a protected pension input amount if the material change affects at least 50 active members of the pension scheme.

If the basic time of supply for some of those goods and services is before the date of the VAT change, sub-paragraph (2) has effect as if the references to the amount of VAT chargeable and to the amount of VAT that would be chargeable were references to the relevant proportion of each of those amounts. “The relevant proportion” is— where— P is so much of the consideration for the grant of the right as is attributable on a just and reasonable basis to a right to the goods and services for which the basic time of supply is on or after the date of the VAT change, and W is the whole of the consideration for the grant of the right.

Section 28
Section 29
Section 30
“licensee” has the same meaning as in Part 1 of OTA 1975;
Part 2 of CAA 2001 (plant and machinery allowances) is amended as follows.
For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule—
the first relevant date is—
for corporation tax purposes, 1 April 2009, and
for income tax purposes, 6 April 2009,
the second relevant date is—
for corporation tax purposes, 1 August 2009, and
for income tax purposes, 6 August 2009, and
the third relevant date is—
for corporation tax purposes, 1 April 2014, and
for income tax purposes, 6 April 2014.
This paragraph applies if there is a scheme the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is to avoid or reduce liability to the special annual allowance charge, the annual allowance charge or the lifetime allowance charge by reducing the amount arrived at in accordance with paragraph 3(2) in relation to an arrangement under a pension scheme for the tax year (or for reducing that amount and the amount so arrived at for other tax years). If the amount calculated under sub-paragraph (3) exceeds that arrived at in accordance with paragraph 3(2) in relation to the arrangement for the tax year, the amount so calculated is to be treated as if it were the amount so arrived at. The amount is calculated by deducting— That calculation is to be made on the assumptions that— If the arrangement ceases to exist during the tax year, the reference in sub-paragraph (3)(b) to the end of the tax year is to the time immediately before it ceases to exist. Section 236 of FA 2004 applies for adjusting the amount in sub-paragraph (3)(b) as for adjusting the closing value of an individual’s rights as calculated under section 234(5) of that Act (but as if references to the pension input period were to the tax year and whether or not the arrangement is a defined benefits arrangement).
This paragraph applies in respect of a cash balance arrangement if the arrangement is under an occupational pension scheme or a public service pension scheme. If the individual pays relevant additional voluntary contributions under the arrangement in the tax year, the amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to the arrangement is a protected pension input amount to the extent that it is attributable to those contributions. Relevant additional voluntary contributions are additional voluntary contributions paid— To the extent that the amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to the arrangement is attributable otherwise than to the paying of relevant additional voluntary contributions it is a protected pension input amount if— If there is a material change in the rules of the pension scheme under which such benefits are calculated under the arrangement in that period, the amount so arrived at, to the extent that it is so attributable, is a protected pension input amount to the extent that it is not attributable to that change. But even in that case the whole of the amount so arrived at, to the extent that it is so attributable, is a protected pension input amount if the material change affects at least 50 active members of the pension scheme. In this paragraph “the relevant end date” means the end of the tax year or, if earlier, the time when benefits cease to accrue to or in respect of the individual under the arrangement.
This paragraph applies in respect of a hybrid arrangement under a pension scheme if any one or more of paragraphs 8 to 11 would be applicable in relation to it. The amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to the arrangement is a protected pension input amount if and to the extent of the greater or greatest amount that it would be if the arrangement were an arrangement under whichever (if any) of paragraphs 8 to 11 are applicable in relation to it. Paragraph 8 is applicable in relation to it as in relation to a defined benefits arrangement if, in any circumstances, the benefits that may be provided to or in respect of the individual under it are defined benefits. Paragraph 9 is applicable in relation to it as in relation to a cash balance arrangement if, in any circumstances, the benefits that may be provided to or in respect of the individual under it are cash balance benefits. Paragraph 10 or 11 is applicable in relation to it as in relation to a money purchase arrangement other than a cash balance arrangement if, in any circumstances, the benefits that may be provided to or in respect of the individual under it are other money purchase benefits.
The amount arrived at under paragraph 3(2) in relation to an arrangement is a relevant refunded amount to the extent that it does not exceed the amount of a contributions refund lump sum paid to the individual (or the personal representatives of the individual). A lump sum is a contributions refund lump sum if— The adjusted contributions amount for the tax year is the amount of any relevant relievable pension contributions less any relevant deductions. “Relevant relievable pension contributions” are contributions which— but subject as follows. If the pension scheme is an occupational pension scheme or a public service pension scheme or forms part of a group personal pension scheme, contributions are relevant relievable pension contributions only if they— If the pension scheme is not an occupational pension scheme or a public service pension scheme and does not form part of a group personal pension scheme— “Relevant deductions” are—
Part 4 of FA 2004 applies in relation to a contributions refund lump sum as if it were a short service refund lump sum in excess of the limit specified in section 205(4)(a) of that Act (so that it is not an unauthorised payment and is liable to tax at the rate chargeable on a short service refund lump sum).
This Schedule has effect for the tax year 2009-10 and subsequent tax years (with the result that paragraph 18 has effect for the tax year 2010-11 and subsequent tax years). But the Treasury may by order make provision for this Schedule to cease to have effect after the tax year specified in the order (but so that paragraph 18 continues to have effect for the following tax year).
Section 163 of CAA 2001 (meaning of “general decommissioning expenditure”) is amended as follows. In subsection (3)(a), after “use” insert “wholly or partly”. In subsection (4ZA), for paragraphs (a) and (b) substitute— In subsection (4ZC), for “the purposes of the ring fence trade” substitute “qualifying purposes”. After subsection (4C) insert—

Omit sections 74 to 79 (cars above the cost threshold).

Omit section 81 (extended meaning of “car”) and section 82 (qualifying hire cars).
P is liable to a penalty under this paragraph if (and only if) P’s failure continues after the end of the period of 12 months beginning with the penalty date. Where, by failing to make the return, P withholds information which would enable or assist HMRC to assess P’s liability to tax, the penalty under this paragraph is determined in accordance with sub-paragraphs (3) and (4). If the withholding of the information is deliberate and concealed, the penalty is the greater of— If the withholding of the information is deliberate but not concealed, the penalty is the greater of— In any other case, the penalty under this paragraph is the greater of—
In section 84 (cases in which short-life asset treatment is ruled out), in the Table, in item 3, in the first column, for “81” substitute “ 268A ”.
