For the purposes of sub-paragraph (5) it does not matter whether the reason that there is no such possibility is— and any power to grant permission to appeal out of time is to be disregarded.
Before deciding whether or not to exercise the power under paragraph 3(2) or 4(1) in relation to a person, HMRC must consider whether or not, to the best of HMRC’s knowledge, there are any matters as a result of which the person is, or may be, at a particular disadvantage in dealing with the person’s Revenue and Customs affairs. If HMRC determines that there are any such matters, HMRC must take those matters into account in deciding whether or not to exercise the power concerned in relation to the person. The Commissioners must publish guidance as to the factors which are relevant to determining whether or not a person is at a particular disadvantage in dealing with the person’s Revenue and Customs affairs for the purposes of this Schedule. In this paragraph “Revenue and Customs affairs”, in relation to a person by whom a relevant sum is payable, means any affairs of the person which relate to the relevant sum.

If the deposit-taker determines that there are one or more affected accounts (see paragraph 6(7)) as a result of the hold notice, the deposit-taker must give HMRC a notice which sets out— The notice under sub-paragraph (2) must be given within the period of 5 working days beginning with the day on which the deposit-taker complies with paragraph 6(1). If the deposit-taker determines that there are no affected accounts as a result of the hold notice, it must give HMRC a notice which— The notice under sub-paragraph (4) must be given within the period of 5 working days beginning with the day on which the deposit-taker makes that determination.

After the deposit-taker has complied with paragraph 6(1), the deposit-taker may, in relation to any affected account, give a notice to— which states that a hold notice has been received by the deposit-taker in respect of the account and the effect of that notice so far as it relates to that account. In this Part of this Schedule “interested third party”, in relation to a relevant account, means a person other than P who has a beneficial interest in— But, in relation to a hold notice, an interest which comes into existence after any arrangements under paragraph 6(3) have been put into place is treated as not being a beneficial interest for the purposes of sub-paragraph (11).

The deposit-taker is liable to a penalty of £300. If a failure within sub-paragraph (1)(a) to (f) continues after the day on which notice is given under paragraph 15(1) of a penalty in respect of the failure, the deposit-taker is liable to a further penalty or penalties not exceeding £60 for each subsequent day on which the failure continues. A failure by a deposit-taker to do anything required to be done within a limited period of time does not give rise to liability to a penalty under this paragraph if the deposit-taker did it within such further time, if any, as HMRC may have allowed. Liability to a penalty under this paragraph does not arise if the person satisfies HMRC or (on an appeal notified to the tribunal) the tribunal that there is a reasonable excuse for the failure or (as the case may be) disclosure. For the purposes of this paragraph—

The amendments made by this section come into force on the day after the day on which this Act is passed subject to the saving provision in subsections (3) to (7).
Subsections (4) to (7) apply where— and in subsections (4) to (7) “the protected property” means that property or, as the case may be, that particular part of it.
the occasion first referred to in subsection (1) of section 80 of IHTA 1984 occurred before 22 March 2006,

The amendments made by subsection (1) do not have effect in relation to any particular part of the protected property for so long as the subsisting interest in possession continues to subsist in that part (but see subsections (5) and (6) for what happens afterwards).
As from immediately before the time when the subsisting interest in possession comes to an end so far as subsisting in any particular part of the protected property (whether or not it also comes to an end at the same time so far as subsisting in some or all of the rest of the protected property), section 80(1) of IHTA 1984 has effect in relation to that part as if the second appearance of “an interest in possession” were “a qualifying interest in possession”.
If (ignoring this subsection), subsection (5) would have the consequence that a particular part of the protected property is treated as becoming comprised in a separate settlement at a time earlier than the time at which the subsisting interest in possession comes to an end so far as subsisting in that part, that part is to be treated as becoming comprised in a separate settlement at that later time.
In this section—

This paragraph applies to a derivative contract of a company if— There is to be made an overall transitional adjustment of such amount as is just and reasonable in the circumstances having regard to the amounts which would otherwise be brought into account twice by the company for those purposes as credits or debits. The overall transitional adjustment must be made by making transitional adjustments in accordance with paragraph 121. In determining what amounts fall within sub-paragraph (1), it is to be assumed that the accounting policy applied in drawing up the company’s accounts for the last accounting period of the company beginning before 1 January 2016 (“the pre-commencement period”) was also applied in previous accounting periods. But if the company’s accounts for the pre-commencement period are in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice drawn up on an assumption as to the accounting policy in previous accounting periods which differs from that mentioned in sub-paragraph (4), that different assumption applies in determining what amounts fall within sub-paragraph (1).
If paragraph 120 applies in relation to a derivative contract of a company, then for each relevant accounting period a credit or debit of an amount equal to the transitional adjustment for the period must be brought into account for the purposes of Part 7 of CTA 2009 in the same way as a credit or debit which is brought into account in determining the company’s profit or loss for the period in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice.

This paragraph applies to a loan relationship of a company if— There is to be made an overall transitional adjustment of such amount as is just and reasonable in the circumstances having regard to the amounts which would otherwise be brought into account twice by the company for those purposes as credits or debits. The overall transitional adjustment must be made by making transitional adjustments in accordance with paragraph 116. In determining what amounts fall within sub-paragraph (1), it is to be assumed that the accounting policy applied in drawing up the company’s accounts for the last accounting period of the company beginning before 1 January 2016 (“the pre-commencement period”) was also applied in previous accounting periods. But if the company’s accounts for the pre-commencement period are in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice drawn up on an assumption as to the accounting policy in previous accounting periods which differs from that mentioned in sub-paragraph (4), that different assumption applies in determining what amounts fall within sub-paragraph (1).

Schedule 8 contains provision about the enforcement of debts owed to the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs by making deductions from accounts held with deposit-takers.
The Treasury may, by regulations made by statutory instrument, make consequential, incidental or supplementary provision in connection with any provision made by that Schedule.
Regulations under subsection (2) may amend, repeal or revoke any enactment (whenever passed or made).
“Enactment” includes an enactment contained in subordinate legislation within the meaning of the Interpretation Act 1978.
A statutory instrument containing (whether alone or with other provision) provision amending or repealing an Act may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before and approved by a resolution of the House of Commons.
Any other statutory instrument containing regulations under subsection (2) is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons.
This section applies if a sum payable to or by the Commissioners under a judgment or order given or made in any court proceedings relating to a taxation matter (a “tax-related judgment debt”) carries interest as a result of a relevant enactment.
The “relevant enactments” are—
section 17 of the Judgments Act 1838 (judgment debts to carry interest), and
any order under section 74 of the County Courts Act 1984 (interest on judgment debts etc).
The relevant enactment is to have effect in relation to the tax-related judgment debt as if for the rate specified in section 17(1) of the Judgments Act 1838 and any other rate specified in an order under section 74 of the County Courts Act 1984 there were substituted—
in the case of a sum payable to the Commissioners, the late payment interest rate provided for in regulations made by the Treasury under section 103(1) of FA 2009, and
in the case of a sum payable by the Commissioners, the special repayment rate.
Subsection (3) does not affect any power of the court under the relevant enactment to prevent any sum from carrying interest or to provide for a rate of interest which is lower than (and incapable of exceeding) that for which the subsection provides.
If section 44A of the Administration of Justice Act 1970 (interest on judgment debts expressed otherwise than in sterling), or any corresponding provision made under section 74 of the County Courts Act 1984 in relation to the county court, applies to a tax-related judgment debt—
subsection (3) does not apply, but
the court may not specify in an order under section 44A of the Administration of Justice Act 1970, or under any provision corresponding to that section which has effect under section 74 of the County Courts Act 1984, an interest rate which exceeds (or is capable of exceeding)—
in the case of a sum payable to the Commissioners, the rate mentioned in subsection (3)(a), or
in the case of a sum payable by the Commissioners, the special repayment rate.
The “special repayment rate” is the percentage per annum given by the formula— where BR is the official Bank rate determined by the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee at the operative meeting.
“The operative meeting”, in relation to the special repayment rate applicable in respect of any day, means the most recent meeting of the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee apart from any meeting later than the 13th working day before that day.
The Treasury may by regulations made by statutory instrument—
repeal subsections (6) and (7), and
provide that the “special repayment rate” for the purposes of this section is the rate provided for in the regulations.
Regulations under subsection (8)—
may make different provision for different purposes,
may either themselves specify a rate of interest or make provision for such a rate to be determined (and to change from time to time) by reference to such rate, or the average of such rates, as may be referred to in the regulations,
may provide for rates to be reduced below, or increased above, what they would otherwise be by specified amounts or by reference to specified formulae,
may provide for rates arrived at by reference to averages to be rounded up or down,
may provide for circumstances in which the alteration of a rate of interest is or is not to take place, and
may provide that alterations of rates are to have effect for periods beginning on or after a day determined in accordance with the regulations (“the effective date”) regardless of—
the date of the judgment or order in question, and
whether interest begins to run on or after the effective date, or began to run before that date.
A statutory instrument containing regulations under subsection (8) is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons.
To the extent that a tax-related judgment debt consists of an award of costs to or against the Commissioners, the reference in section 24(2) of the Crown Proceedings Act 1947 (which relates to interest on costs awarded to or against the Crown) to the rate at which interest is payable upon judgment debts due from or to the Crown is to be read as a reference to the rate at which interest is payable upon tax-related judgment debts.
This section has effect in relation to interest for periods beginning on or after 8 July 2015, regardless of—
the date of the judgment or order in question, and
whether interest begins to run on or after 8 July 2015, or began to run before that date.
Subsection (14) applies where, at any time during the period beginning with 8 July 2015 and ending immediately before the day on which this Act is passed (“the relevant period”)—
a payment is made in satisfaction of a tax-related judgment debt, and
the payment includes interest under a relevant enactment in respect of any part of the relevant period.
The court by which the judgment or order in question was given or made must, on an application made to it under this subsection by the person who made the payment, order the repayment of the amount by which the interest paid under the relevant enactment in respect of days falling within the relevant period exceeds the interest payable under the relevant enactment in respect of those days in accordance with the provisions of this section.

This Part of this Schedule contains provision about the collection of amounts due and payable to the Commissioners by the making of deductions from accounts held with deposit-takers.
If it appears to HMRC that— HMRC may give the deposit-taker a notice under this paragraph (a “hold notice”). The hold notice must— For provision about the particular relevant sums to which a hold notice relates see paragraph 8(6)(a)(ii) and (7) (notice to be given by HMRC to P). The hold notice may— The amount specified as the specified amount in the hold notice (“the current hold notice”) must not exceed so much of the notified sum (see paragraph 8(6) to (8)) as remains after deducting— For the purposes of this paragraph, any two hold notices given in respect of the same person “relate to the same debts” if at least one relevant sum specified in relation to one of those notices by virtue of paragraph 8(7)(a) is the same debt as a relevant sum so specified in relation to the other notice. The amount specified in the hold notice as the safeguarded amount must be at least £5,000; but this is qualified by sub-paragraphs (7) and (8). The safeguarded amount must be nil if— HMRC may (in a case not falling within sub-paragraph (7)) determine that an amount less than £5,000 (which may be nil) is to be the safeguarded amount if HMRC considers it appropriate to do so having regard to the value (or aggregate value) in sterling at the relevant time of any amounts which at that time stand to the credit of a qualifying non-sterling account or accounts. In sub-paragraph (8) “qualifying non-sterling account” means an account which, but for paragraph 6(6)(b) (account not denominated in sterling), would be a relevant account in relation to the hold notice. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (8), the value in sterling of any amount is to be determined in the prescribed manner; and regulations for the purposes of this sub-paragraph may specify circumstances in which the exchange rate is to be determined in accordance with a notice published by the Commissioners. In sub-paragraph (8) “the relevant time” means the time when the Commissioners determine the amount to be specified as the “safeguarded amount” under sub-paragraph (2)(c). HMRC must not on any one day give to a single deposit-taker more than one hold notice relating to the same debts.
If there is only one relevant account (see paragraph 6(6)) in existence at the time the deposit-taker complies with paragraph 6(1), “the held amount” in relation to that account is— For the meaning of “the safeguarded amount” and “the specified amount” see paragraph 23(1). If there is more than one relevant account in existence at the time the deposit-taker complies with paragraph 6(1), “the held amount” in relation to each relevant account is determined as follows— Step 1 Determine the available amount in respect of each relevant account. Step 2 Determine the total of the available amounts in respect of all of the relevant accounts. If that total does not exceed the safeguarded amount, the held amount in relation to each relevant account is nil (and no further steps are to be taken). In any other case, go to Step 3. Step 3 Match the safeguarded amount against the available amounts in respect of the relevant accounts, taking those accounts in reverse priority order (see sub-paragraph (6)). Step 4 Match the specified amount against what remains of the available amounts in respect of the relevant accounts by taking each relevant account in priority order (see sub-paragraph (5)) and matching the specified amount (or, as the case may be, what remains of the specified amount) against the available amount for each account until either— the specified amount has been fully matched, or what remains of the available amounts is exhausted. Where this sub-paragraph applies, “the held amount”, in relation to a relevant account— is so much of the amount standing to the credit of the account as is matched against the specified amount under Step 4, and accordingly, is nil if no amount standing to the credit of the account is so matched against the specified amount. In this paragraph “the available amount” means— so, if no amount stands to the credit of an account at that time, “the available amount” is nil. In this paragraph “the appropriate fraction”, in relation to a joint account, means— where N is the number of persons who together hold the joint account. In this paragraph “priority order” means such order as the deposit-taker considers appropriate, but the deposit-taker must ensure— In this paragraph “reverse priority order” means the reverse of the order determined under sub-paragraph (5). In this paragraph references to an amount standing to the credit of an account are to be read subject to any regulations under paragraph 20(2)(d).
Where a hold notice is given to a deposit-taker, a person within sub-paragraph (2) may by a notice given to HMRC (a “notice of objection”) object against the hold notice. The persons who may object are— but only P may object on the ground in sub-paragraph (3)(a). An objection may only be made on one or more of the following grounds— A notice of objection must state the grounds of the objection. Objections under this paragraph may only be made within the period of 30 days beginning with— Sub-paragraph (5) does not apply if HMRC agree to the notice of objection being given after the end of the period mentioned in that sub-paragraph. HMRC must agree to a notice of objection being given after the end of that period if the following conditions are met— If a request of the kind referred to in sub-paragraph (7)(a) is made, HMRC must by a notice inform the person making the request whether or not HMRC agrees to the request. Nothing in Part 5 of TMA 1970 (appeals and other proceedings) applies to an objection under this paragraph.
that the debts to which the hold notice relates (see paragraph 8(7)(a)) have been wholly or partly paid,
that at the time when the hold notice was given, either there was no sum that was a relevant sum in relation to P or P did not hold any account with the deposit-taker,
that the hold notice is causing or will cause exceptional hardship to the person making the objection or another person, or
that there is an interested third party in relation to one or more of the affected accounts.
If it appears to HMRC that a person in respect of whom a hold notice given to a deposit-taker is in force— HMRC may give the deposit-taker a deduction notice in respect of that person. A “deduction notice” is a notice which— Where a deduction notice specifies a particular affected account— A deduction notice must explain the effect of sub-paragraph (3)(b) and paragraph 14 (penalties). A deduction notice may not be given in respect of an account unless— In this paragraph “qualifying amount”, in relation to an affected account, means an amount not exceeding the held amount in relation to that account (as modified, where applicable, under paragraph 9(3)(b), 11(6)(b) or 12(7)(b)). The total of the qualifying amounts specified in the deduction notice must not exceed the unpaid amount of the notified sum (see paragraph 8(8)). HMRC must— The persons mentioned in sub-paragraph (8)(b) are— HMRC may, by a notice given to the deposit-taker, amend or cancel the deduction notice, and where it does so it must— The deduction notice—
A deposit-taker may appeal against— Notice of an appeal must be given to HMRC before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which the notification under paragraph 15 was given. Notice of an appeal must state the grounds of appeal. On an appeal under sub-paragraph (1)(a) that is notified to the tribunal (in accordance with Part 5 of TMA 1970: see below) the tribunal may confirm or cancel the decision. On an appeal under sub-paragraph (1)(b) that is notified to the tribunal, the tribunal may— Subject to this paragraph and paragraph 17, the provisions of Part 5 of TMA 1970 relating to appeals have effect in relation to appeals under this paragraph as they have effect in relation to an appeal against an assessment to income tax.
The Commissioners may by regulations amend any of the following provisions by substituting a different amount for the amount for the time being specified there— The Commissioners may by regulations amend any of the following provisions by substituting a different period for the period for the time being specified there—
In this Part of this Schedule a reference to an account held by a person includes a reference to a joint account held by that person and one or more other persons.

For the purposes of calculating the sum charged on any chargeable company at step 5 of section 371BC(1) of TIOPA 2010 in relation to the straddling period— The sum charged on each chargeable company at step 5 in section 371BC(1) of TIOPA 2010 is the aggregate of the sums that would be charged on that company by taking that step, in accordance with sub-paragraph (3), in relation to each of the separate accounting periods.

For the purposes of determining whether the surcharge is chargeable on the company for the straddling period and, if so, in what amount— Accordingly, the surcharge chargeable on the company for the straddling period (if any) is equal to the surcharge that would be chargeable on the company, in accordance with sub-paragraph (3), for the separate accounting period beginning with the commencement date. Sub-paragraphs (6) to (8) apply where— The surcharge chargeable on the company for the straddling period is to be ignored for the purposes of determining the amount of any pre-commencement instalment. The first instalment, in respect of the total liability of the company for the straddling period, which under the Instalment Payment Regulations is treated as becoming due and payable on or after the commencement date is to be increased by the adjustment amount. “The adjustment amount” is the difference between— In the Instalment Payment Regulations— In section 59D of TMA 1970 (general rule as to when corporation tax is due and payable), in subsection (5), the reference to section 59E of that Act is to be read as including a reference to sub-paragraphs (5) to (9). For the purposes of sections 269DF to 269DI of CTA 2010, if a nominated company has an accounting period beginning before and ending on or after the commencement date, so much of that period as falls before that date, and so much of that period as falls on or after that date, are to be treated as separate accounting periods. For the purposes of section 269DN of CTA 2010, it does not matter whether arrangements of the kind mentioned in subsection (1) of that section are entered into before or after this Act is passed. In this paragraph “the surcharge” means a sum chargeable under section 269DA of CTA 2010 as if it were an amount of corporation tax.
In this Part of this Schedule— and references to the total liability of a company for an accounting period are to be read in accordance with regulation 2(3) of the Instalment Payment Regulations.

Paragraphs 15 and 28 have effect in relation to loan relationships entered into by a company in an accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2016. Paragraph 67 has effect in relation to derivative contracts entered into by a company in an accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2016. In relation to loan relationships entered into by a company in an accounting period beginning before 1 January 2016, sub-paragraphs (4) to (6) apply in relation to accounting periods beginning on or after that date. The reference in section 321(1)(b) of CTA 2009 to recognition in any of the statements mentioned in section 308(1) of that Act is to be read in relation to the company as a reference to recognition in the company’s accounts for the period as an item of profit or loss or as an item of other comprehensive income. But section 321 does not bring into account for the purposes of Part 5 of CTA 2009 any exchange gain or loss of the company so far as it is recognised in the company’s statement of total recognised gains and losses, statement of recognised income and expense, statement of changes in equity or statement of income and retained earnings. The reference in section 349 of CTA 2009 to an amortised cost basis of accounting is to be read in relation to the company without regard to the amendment of section 313(4) of that Act made by paragraph 7(5). In relation to derivative contracts entered into by a company in an accounting period beginning before 1 January 2016, sub-paragraphs (8) and (9) apply in relation to accounting periods beginning on or after that date. The reference in section 605(1)(b) of CTA 2009 to recognition in any of the statements mentioned in section 597(1) of that Act is to be read in relation to the company as a reference to recognition in the company’s accounts for the period as an item of profit or loss or as an item of other comprehensive income. But section 605 does not bring into account for the purposes of Part 7 of CTA 2009 any exchange gain or loss of the company so far as it is recognised in the company’s statement of total recognised gains and losses, statement of recognised income and expense, statement of changes in equity or statement of income and retained earnings. In this paragraph “item of profit and loss” and “item of other comprehensive income” each has the meaning that it has for accounting purposes.
This paragraph applies if it appears to HMRC that— HMRC may give the deposit-taker a notice under this paragraph (an “information notice”) requiring the deposit-taker to provide HMRC with— HMRC may exercise the power under sub-paragraph (2) only for the purposes of determining whether to give a hold notice to the deposit-taker in respect of the person concerned (see paragraph 4). Where a deposit-taker is given an information notice, it must comply with the notice as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within the period of 10 working days beginning with the day on which the notice is given to it. An information notice must explain the effect of—
A deposit-taker to whom a hold notice is given under paragraph 4 must, for each relevant account (see sub-paragraph (6))— See paragraph 7 for how to determine the held amount in relation to any relevant account. The deposit-taker must comply with sub-paragraph (1) as soon as is reasonably practicable and, in any event, within the period of 5 working days beginning with the day on which the hold notice is given. In relation to each affected account (see sub-paragraph (7))— The deposit-taker must maintain any arrangements made under sub-paragraph (3) until the hold notice ceases to be in force. A hold notice ceases to be in force when— In this Part of this Schedule “relevant account”, in relation to a hold notice, means an account held with the deposit-taker by P, but not including— For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule, a relevant account is an “affected account” if, as a result of the hold notice, an amount is the held amount in relation to that account (see paragraph 7(1) and (2)).
Where a hold notice has been given to a deposit-taker HMRC may, by a notice given to the deposit-taker (a “notice of cancellation or variation”)— In this sub-paragraph references to the effect of a hold notice are to its effect by virtue of paragraph 6(4).

Where HMRC makes a decision under paragraph (b) or (c) of paragraph 11(2), a person within sub-paragraph (2) may appeal against the hold notice. The persons who may appeal are— An appeal may only be made on one or more of the grounds set out in paragraph 10(3) (and for this purpose the reference in paragraph 10(3)(c) to “the objection” is to be read as a reference to the appeal). An appeal under sub-paragraph (1) must be made— An appeal under this paragraph may only be made within the period of 30 days beginning— A notice of appeal must state the grounds of appeal. On an appeal under this paragraph, the court may— Where the deposit-taker is served with an order made by the court under sub-paragraph (7)(a) or (b), the deposit-taker must as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within the period of 5 working days beginning with the day the notice is given take such steps as are necessary to give effect to the order. Where an appeal on the ground that the hold notice is causing or will cause the person making the appeal or another person exceptional hardship (or a further appeal following such an appeal) is pending, the court to which the appeal is made may, on an application made by the person who made the appeal— In this paragraph references to the effect of a hold notice are to its effect by virtue of paragraph 6(4). Nothing in Part 5 of TMA 1970 (appeals and other proceedings) applies to an appeal under this paragraph.
Where a deposit-taker becomes liable to a penalty under paragraph 14— An assessment of a penalty by virtue of paragraph (a) of paragraph 14(1) must be made within the period of 12 months beginning with the day on which the deposit-taker becomes liable to the penalty. An assessment of a penalty under any of paragraphs (b) to (g) of paragraph 14(1) must be made within the period of 12 months beginning with the latest of the following—
A deposit-taker is not liable for damages in respect of anything done in good faith for the purposes of complying with a hold notice or a deduction notice.

A statutory instrument containing only regulations within sub-paragraph (4) is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons.
