In this Part references, in relation to any aggregate, to its originating site are references (subject to subsection (2) below)—
in the case of aggregate which has been won from the seabed of any area of sea in England, Wales or Northern Ireland or relevant waters . . ., to the site where it is first landed after being so won;
in the case of aggregate which results from the application of an exempt process to any aggregate . . ., to the site where that process was so applied;
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
in any other case, to the site from which the aggregate was won or, as the case may be, from which it was most recently won.
Where any aggregate which is on its originating site on the commencement date has been mixed before that date with aggregate the originating site of which would (but for this subsection) be different, the site where the mixture is situated on that date shall be deemed for the purposes of this Part to be the originating site of all the aggregate comprised in the mixture.
For the purposes of this Part the persons operating a site are each of the following— and “operator”, in relation to a site, shall be construed accordingly.
the person who occupies the site; and
if a person other than the occupier exercises any right to exercise control over aggregate on that site, that other person;
In subsection (1) above the reference to exercising control over aggregate on a site is a reference to doing any of the following, that is to say—
winning aggregate from land at that site;
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
carrying out any exempt process at that site;
storing aggregate at that site.
Subject to subsection (2) below, the persons who shall be taken for the purposes of this Part to be responsible for subjecting a quantity of aggregate to exploitation are each of the following—
in a case of the exploitation of a quantity of aggregate by its removal from its originating site or from a connected site, the operator of that site;
in a case of the exploitation of a quantity of aggregate by its removal from a site falling within section 19(2)(c) above, the operator of the site and (if different) the owner of the aggregate at the time when the removal takes place;
in a case of the exploitation of a quantity of aggregate— the person agreeing to supply it or using it for construction purposes;
by its being subjected, at a time when it is not on its originating site or a connected site, to any agreement, or
by its being used at such a time for construction purposes,
in a case of the exploitation of a quantity of aggregate— the person mentioned in paragraph (c) above and (if different) the operator of that site;
by its being subjected, at a time when it is on its originating site or a connected site, to any agreement, or
by its being used at such a time for construction purposes,
in a case of the exploitation of a quantity of aggregate by its being mixed at premises that are not comprised in its originating site or a connected site with any material or substance, the owner of the aggregate at the time when the mixing takes place and the occupier of the premises where it takes place;
in a case of the exploitation of a quantity of aggregate by its being mixed at its originating site or a connected site with any material or substance, the owner of the aggregate at the time when the mixing takes place and (if different) the operator of the site.
A person who is responsible for subjecting a quantity of aggregate to exploitation shall not be taken for the purposes of this Part to be responsible for subjecting it to commercial exploitation unless that takes place in the course or furtherance of a business carried on by him. For the purposes of this subsection “business” includes any activity of a Government department, local authority or charity.
Where by virtue of this section more than one person is charged with aggregates levy, their liabilities under this Part as persons charged with the levy shall be joint and several.
In this section “connected site”, in relation to any quantity of aggregate, means any site that falls in relation to that quantity of aggregate within section 19(2)(b).
The Commissioners may make regulations for determining the weight of any aggregate for the purposes of aggregates levy.
The regulations may—
prescribe rules for determining the weight;
authorise rules for determining the weight to be specified by the Commissioners in a prescribed manner;
authorise rules for determining the weight to be agreed between the person charged with the levy and a person acting under the authority of the Commissioners.
The regulations may, in particular, provide for the rules prescribed or authorised under the regulations to include rules about—
the method by which the weight is to be determined;
the time by reference to which the weight is to be determined;
the discounting of constituents (such as water).
The regulations may include provision that rules specified by virtue of subsection (2)(b) above—
are to have effect only in such cases as may be described in the rules; and
are not to have effect in particular cases unless the Commissioners are satisfied that such conditions as may be set out in the rules are met in those cases.
Conditions for which provision is made by virtue of subsection (4)(b) above may be framed by reference to such factors as the Commissioners think fit (such as the consent, in a particular case, of a person acting under the authority of the Commissioners).
The regulations may include provision that— the Commissioners may direct that the agreed rules shall no longer have effect.
where rules are agreed as mentioned in subsection (2)(c) above, and
the Commissioners believe that they should no longer be applied (whether because they do not give an accurate indication of the weight or are not being fully observed or for some other reason),
It shall be the duty of the Commissioners to establish and maintain a register of persons who are required to be registered for the purposes of aggregates levy.
A person is required to be registered for the purposes of aggregates levy if he—
carries out taxable activities, and
is not exempted from registration by regulations under subsection (4) below.
For the purposes of subsection (2) above a person carries out a taxable activity if a quantity of aggregate is subjected to commercial exploitation in England, Wales or Northern Ireland in circumstances in which he is responsible for its being so subjected.
The Commissioners may by regulations provide for persons carrying out taxable activities to be, to such extent and subject to such conditions or restrictions as may be prescribed, either—
exempt from the requirement of registration; or
exempt from such obligations or liabilities imposed by or under this Part on persons required to be registered for the purposes of aggregates levy as may be prescribed.
The Commissioners shall keep such information in the register as they consider it appropriate so to keep for the purposes of the care and management of aggregates levy.
In particular, where it appears to the Commissioners that any person is operating or using any premises, or intends to operate or use any premises— they may, if they think fit, register those premises, in any entry relating to that person and under his name, as a registered site.
for winning any aggregate,
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
for applying an exempt process to any aggregate,
for storing any aggregate, or
for mixing, otherwise than in permitted circumstances (within the meaning given by section 19(7)), any aggregate with any material or substance other than water,
for the first landing in England, Wales or Northern Ireland of aggregate won from the seabed of any area of sea in the United Kingdom or United Kingdom waters,
Where any premises are registered in accordance with subsection (6) above as a registered site, the particulars included in the register shall set out as the boundaries of the site such boundaries as appear to the Commissioners best to secure that avoidance of levy is not facilitated by the registration of any part of any premises that is not used or operated as mentioned in subsection (6) above.
Where any entry in the register at any time specifies that any premises registered under a person’s name as a registered site are to be taken to be the originating site of— any question for the purposes of this Part as to the boundaries at that time of the originating site of any such aggregate shall be conclusively determined in accordance with that entry.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
any aggregate resulting from the carrying out of any exempt process there, or
any aggregate won or landed there,
Schedule 4 to this Act (provisions with respect to registration for the purposes of aggregates levy) shall have effect.
The preceding provisions of this section and the provisions of Schedule 4 to this Act shall come into force on such date as the Treasury may by order made by statutory instrument appoint; and different days may be appointed under this subsection for different purposes.
The Commissioners may by regulations make provision—
for persons charged with aggregates levy to be liable to account for it by reference to such periods (“accounting periods”) as may be determined by or under the regulations;
for persons who are or are required to be registered for the purposes of aggregates levy to be subject to such obligations to make returns for those purposes for such periods, at such times and in such form as may be so determined; and
for persons who are required to account for aggregates levy for any period to become liable to pay the amounts due from them at such times and in such manner as may be so determined.
Without prejudice to the generality of the powers conferred by subsection (1) above, regulations under this section may contain provision—
for aggregates levy falling in accordance with the regulations to be accounted for by reference to one accounting period to be treated in prescribed circumstances, and for prescribed purposes, as levy due for a different period;
for the correction of errors made when accounting for aggregates levy by reference to any period;
for the entries to be made in any accounts in connection with the correction of any such errors and for the financial adjustments to be made in that connection;
for a person, for purposes connected with the making of any such entry or financial adjustment, to be required to provide to any prescribed person, or to retain, a document in the prescribed form containing prescribed particulars of the matters to which the entry or adjustment relates;
for enabling the Commissioners, in such cases as they may think fit, to dispense with or relax a requirement imposed by regulations made by virtue of paragraph (d) above;
for the amount of levy which, in accordance with the regulations, is treated as due for a later period than that by reference to which it should have been accounted for to be treated as increased by an amount representing interest at the rate applicable under section 197 of the Finance Act 1996 (c. 8) for such period as may be determined in accordance with the regulations.
Subject to the following provisions of this section, if any person (“the taxpayer”) fails— he shall be liable to a penalty of £250.
to comply with so much of any regulations under this section as requires him, at or before a particular time, to make a return for any accounting period, or
to comply with so much of any regulations under this section as requires him, at or before a particular time, to pay an amount of aggregates levy due from him,
Liability to a penalty under subsection (3) above shall not arise if the taxpayer satisfies the Commissioners or, on appeal, an appeal tribunal—
that there is a reasonable excuse for the failure to make the return or to pay the levy in accordance with regulations; and
that there is not an occasion after the last day on which the return or payment was required by the regulations to be made when there was a failure without reasonable excuse to make it.
Where, by reason of any failure falling within paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (3) above— that person shall not, by reason of that failure, be liable also to a penalty under that subsection (3).
a person is convicted of an offence (whether under this Act or otherwise), or
a person is assessed to a penalty under paragraph 7 of Schedule 6 to this Act (penalty for evasion) or a penalty for a deliberate inaccuracy under Schedule 24 to the Finance Act 2007 (penalties for errors),
In subsection (1)(b) above the reference to a person who is required to be registered for the purposes of aggregates levy includes a reference to a person who would be so required but for any exemption conferred by regulations under section 24(4) above.
Where it appears to the Commissioners necessary to do so for the protection of the revenue they may require any person who is or is required to be registered to give security, or further security, for the payment of any aggregates levy which is or may become due from him.
The power of the Commissioners to require any security, or further security, under this section shall be a power to require security, or further security, of such amount and in such manner as they may determine.
A person who is responsible for any aggregate being subjected to commercial exploitation in England, Wales or Northern Ireland is guilty of an offence if, at the time it is so subjected—
he has been required to give security under this section; and
he has not complied with that requirement.
A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable, on summary conviction, to a penalty of level 5 on the standard scale£20,000.
Sections 145 to 155 of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 (c. 2) (proceedings for offences, mitigation of penalties and certain other matters) shall apply in relation to an offence under this section as they apply in relation to offences and penalties under the customs and excise Acts.
In subsection (1) above the reference to a person who is required to be registered for the purposes of aggregates levy includes a reference to a person who would be so required but for any exemption conferred by regulations under section 24(4) above.
Schedule 5 to this Act (which makes provision for the recovery of amounts of aggregates levy due from any person and for the interest payable on such amounts) shall have effect.
Schedule 6 to this Act (which makes provision for and in connection with the imposition of criminal and civil penalties for the evasion of aggregates levy and for related misconduct) shall have effect.
Schedule 7 to this Act (which provides for the supply of information to the Commissioners, for the powers under which the Commissioners may collect information for enforcement purposes and about evidence) shall have effect.
The Commissioners may, in accordance with the following provisions of this section, by regulations make provision in relation to cases where, after a charge to aggregates levy has arisen on any quantity of aggregate—
any of that aggregate is exported from the United Kingdom , from a place in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, in the form of aggregate;
an exempt process is applied to any of that aggregate;
any of that aggregate is moved to Scotland, or to the sea adjacent to Scotland, in the form of aggregate;
any of that aggregate is used in a prescribed industrial or agricultural process;
any of that aggregate is disposed of (by dumping or otherwise) in such manner not constituting its use for construction purposes as may be prescribed; or
the whole or any part of a debt due to a person responsible for subjecting the aggregate to commercial exploitation is written off in his accounts as a bad debt.
The provision that may be made in relation to any such case as is mentioned in subsection (1) above is provision—
for such person as may be specified in the regulations to be entitled to a tax credit in respect of any aggregates levy charged on the aggregate in question;
for a tax credit to which any person is entitled under the regulations to be brought into account when he is accounting for aggregates levy due from him for such accounting period or periods as may be determined in accordance with the regulations; and
for a person entitled to a tax credit to be entitled, in any prescribed case where he cannot bring the tax credit into account so as to set it against a liability to aggregates levy, to a repayment of levy of an amount so determined.
Regulations under this section may contain any or all of the following provisions—
provision making any entitlement to a tax credit conditional on the making of a claim by such person, within such period and in such manner as may be prescribed;
provision making entitlement to bring a tax credit into account, or to receive a repayment in respect of such a credit, conditional on compliance with such requirements as may be determined in accordance with the regulations;
provision requiring a claim for a tax credit to be evidenced and quantified by reference to such records and other documents as may be so determined;
provision requiring a person claiming any entitlement to a tax credit to keep, for such period and in such form and manner as may be so determined, those records and documents and a record of such information relating to the claim as may be so determined;
provision for the withdrawal of a tax credit where any requirement of the regulations is not complied with;
provision for interest at the rate applicable under section 197 of the Finance Act 1996 (c. 8) to be treated as added, for such period and for such purposes as may be prescribed, to the amount of any tax credit;
provision for anything falling to be determined in accordance with the regulations to be determined by reference to a general or specific direction given in accordance with the regulations by the Commissioners.
Without prejudice to the generality of the preceding provisions of this section, regulations under this section may also contain—
provision for ascertaining whether, when and to what extent an amount is to be taken for the purposes of any regulations under this section to have been written off in any accounts as a bad debt;
provision requiring a person who for the purposes of any such regulations is taken to have written off any amount as a bad debt to keep, for such period and in such form and manner as may be prescribed, information relating to anything subsequently paid in respect of the amount written off;
provision for the withdrawal of the whole or an appropriate part of any tax credit relating to an amount taken to have been written off as a bad debt where the whole or any part (or further part) of the amount written off is subsequently paid;
provision for ascertaining whether, and to what extent, anything received by any person is to be taken as a payment of, or of a part of, an amount taken, for the purposes of any regulations under this section, to have been written off;
provision for determining the value for the purposes of provision made by virtue of paragraph (d) above of things received otherwise than in the form of money.
Regulations made under this section shall have effect subject to the provisions of section 32 below.
In subsection (1)(aa) the reference to the sea adjacent to Scotland is to so much of the territorial sea adjacent to the United Kingdom as is to be treated as adjacent to Scotland for the purposes of the Scotland Act 1998 (see section 126(2) of that Act).
Where a person has paid an amount to the Commissioners by way of aggregates levy which was not levy due to them, they shall be liable to repay the amount to him.
The Commissioners shall not be liable to repay an amount under this section except on the making of a claim for that purpose.
A claim under this section must be made in such form and manner, and must be supported by such documentary evidence, as may be required by regulations made by the Commissioners.
The preceding provisions of this section are subject to the provisions of section 32 below.
Except as provided by this section, the Commissioners shall not, by virtue of the fact that it was not levy due to them, be liable to repay any amount paid to them by way of aggregates levy.
The Commissioners may by regulations make provision of the kind described in section 30(2) above (entitlement to tax credit) in relation to cases within subsection (2) below.
The cases are those where a charge to aggregates levy has arisen on a quantity of aggregate which has been subjected to commercial exploitation during a prescribed period.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The amount of a tax credit to which a person is entitled under the regulations must not be more than 80% of any aggregates levy charged on the aggregate in question.
Regulations under this section may in particular make provision—
for a person to be entitled to a tax credit under the regulations in respect of aggregate originating from a site in respect of which any person holds an aggregates levy credit certificate which has not been withdrawn;
for an aggregates levy credit certificate to be issued to a person in respect of a site only if an aggregates levy credit agreement is in force in respect of the site;
for the withdrawal of an aggregates levy credit certificate where the aggregates levy credit agreement in respect of which it was issued is no longer in force;
for the form and content of aggregates levy credit certificates and aggregates levy credit agreements.
Regulations under this section which make provision such as is mentioned in subsection (5)(d) above may be framed by reference to any provisions of a notice published by the Commissioners in pursuance of the regulations and not withdrawn by a further notice.
If regulations under this section make provision such as is mentioned in subsection (5) above, the Commissioners or the Northern Ireland Department may—
enter into aggregates levy credit agreements;
issue and withdraw aggregates levy credit certificates;
take such other steps as the Commissioners or the Northern Ireland Department consider appropriate in relation to aggregates levy credit agreements and aggregates levy credit certificates.
Regulations under this section which make provision such as is mentioned in subsection (5) above must include provision requiring the Northern Ireland Department to inform the Commissioners if the Northern Ireland Department issues or withdraws an aggregates levy credit certificate.
Subsections (3) to (5) of section 30 above apply to regulations under this section as they apply to regulations under that section.
The Treasury may by order made by statutory instrument amend subsection (4) above by substituting for the percentage for the time being specified in that subsection a percentage lower than 80%.
An order under subsection (10) above shall not be made unless a draft of the order has been laid before Parliament and approved by a resolution of the House of Commons.
Any expenses of the Northern Ireland Department under this section shall be charged on the Consolidated Fund of Northern Ireland.
In this section—
The Commissioners shall not be liable, on any claim for a repayment of aggregates levy, to repay any amount paid to them more than 4 years before the making of the claim.
In the case of any claim for a repayment of an amount of aggregates levy other than a claim to a repayment to which a person is entitled by virtue of tax credit regulations, it shall be a defence to that claim that the repayment of that amount would unjustly enrich the claimant.
Subsection (4) below applies for the purposes of subsection (2) above where—
there is an amount paid by way of aggregates levy which (apart from subsection (2) above) would fall to be the subject of a repayment of aggregates levy to any person (“the taxpayer”); and
the whole or a part of the cost of the payment of that amount to the Commissioners has, for practical purposes, been borne by a person other than the taxpayer.
Where, in a case to which this subsection applies, loss or damage has been or may be incurred by the taxpayer as a result of mistaken assumptions made in his case about the operation of any provisions relating to aggregates levy, that loss or damage shall be disregarded, except to the extent of the quantified amount, in the making of any determination as to—
whether or to what extent the repayment of an amount to the taxpayer would enrich him; or
whether or to what extent any enrichment of the taxpayer would be unjust.
In subsection (4) above “the quantified amount” means the amount (if any) which is shown by the taxpayer to constitute the amount that would appropriately compensate him for loss or damage shown by him to have resulted, for any business carried on by him, from the making of the mistaken assumptions.
The reference in subsection (4) above to provisions relating to aggregates levy is a reference to any provisions of—
any enactment or subordinate legislation (whether or not still in force) which relates to that levy or to any matter connected with it; or
any notice published by the Commissioners under or for the purposes of any enactment or subordinate legislation relating to aggregates levy.
Schedule 8 to this Act (which contains further provision about payments and repayments by the Commissioners and about the setting off of amounts due to or from the Commissioners under this Part and the setting of other amounts against such amounts) shall have effect.
The Commissioners may by regulations make provision of the kind described in section 30(2) (entitlement to tax credit) in relation to cases within subsection (3) below.
Tax credit to which a person is entitled under the regulations is referred to in this section as “special tax credit”.
The cases are where—
a person has been charged with, and has fully accounted for, aggregates levy in respect of the commercial exploitation of a quantity of aggregate, and
the exploitation was of imported aggregate and occurred in Northern Ireland in the period defined in subsection (5).
For this purpose aggregate is “imported” if it was won from a site in a member State other than the United Kingdom.
The period mentioned in subsection (3)(b)—
begins with 1 April 2004, and
ends with 30 November 2010.
Regulations may in particular—
provide that a person is not entitled to special tax credit unless the Department of the Environment in Northern Ireland (“the Department”) has certified under section 30D(4) that it is satisfied that specified requirements were met in relation to the site from which the aggregate originates during a period which includes the time when the aggregate was won from the site (and the certification has not been revoked);
specify further conditions for entitlement to special tax credit;
make provision about the rate at which special tax credit is to be given (including provision restricting the amount of special tax credit in cases where entitlement to a tax credit has already arisen);
provide for compound interest at the applicable rate (see section 30C) to be treated as added, for such period and for such purposes as may be prescribed, to the amount of any special tax credit;
authorise the Commissioners to adjust a person's claim for special tax credit in specified circumstances.
Regulations under subsection (6)(a) may specify the requirements in question by reference to any provisions of a notice published by the Department in pursuance of the regulations and not withdrawn by a further notice.
Subsection (3) of section 30 (except paragraph (f) of that subsection) applies to regulations under this section as it applies to regulations under that section.
Section 32(1) (time limit for claims) does not apply to a claim for repayment of aggregates levy made under regulations under this section.
The reference in section 30B(6)(d) to the applicable rate is to a rate provided for in regulations made by the Treasury.
Regulations under this section may—
provide for the rate to be determined, and to change from time to time, by reference to a rate referred to in the regulations;
include provision for different rates to apply at different times in a period for which interest is due to a person.
Regulations under this section are to be made by statutory instrument.
A statutory instrument containing regulations under this section is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons.
A person may, for the purpose of making a claim for special tax credit, apply to the Department for a certification under subsection (4)(a).
The application must specify—
a site, and
a time (“the relevant time”).
Where a certification relating to a site has been wholly or partly revoked by virtue of subsection (7)(b), an application specifying that site may not specify a time falling within the period with respect to which the revocation has effect.
Where an application is made and the Department has not previously made a certification under paragraph (a) relating to both the specified site and a period that includes the relevant time, the Department must either—
certify that it is satisfied that any requirements specified by virtue of section 30B(6)(a) were met in relation to the site during a period (specified in the certification) that includes the relevant time, or
refuse the application.
If the Department makes a certification under subsection (4)(a) (a “special tax credit certification”) it must give a written notice of the certification to—
the applicant, and
HMRC.
Where an application is made and the Department has previously made a special tax credit certification relating to both the specified site and a period that includes the relevant time, the Department must give the applicant a written notice of that certification.
The Commissioners may by regulations—
make provision about the time within which an application under subsection (1) must be made and the form and content of such an application;
authorise the Department to revoke a special tax credit certification with respect to the whole or part of the period to which the certification relates if the Department is satisfied that its decision as regards the meeting of the relevant requirements (or that decision, so far as relating to the relevant part of that period) was not correct;
make any other provision that is necessary in connection with paragraph (b) and subsection (8);
provide that a revocation by virtue of paragraph (b) may not be made after a specified date.
A special tax credit certification is to be treated as never having had effect in relation to any period with respect to which it is revoked by virtue of subsection (7)(b).
Regulations under this section which make provision such as is mentioned in subsection (7)(b) must require the Department to inform the Commissioners, and any other person to whom the Department has given a written notice of the certification, if the Department revokes a special tax credit certification.
Any expenses of the Department under or by virtue of this section or section 30B are to be appropriated from the Consolidated Fund of Northern Ireland by Act of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
In this section “the Department” and “special tax credit” have the same meaning as in section 30B.
The Commissioners may by regulations make provision for securing that every non-resident taxpayer has a person resident in the United Kingdom to act as his tax representative for the purposes of aggregates levy.
Regulations under this section may, in particular, contain any or all of the following—
provision requiring notification to be given to the Commissioners where a person becomes a non-resident taxpayer;
provision requiring the appointment of tax representatives by non-resident taxpayers;
provision for the appointment of a person as a tax representative to take effect only where the person appointed is approved by the Commissioners;
provision authorising the Commissioners to give a direction requiring the replacement of a tax representative;
provision authorising the Commissioners to give a direction requiring a person specified in the direction to be treated as the appointed tax representative of a non-resident taxpayer so specified;
provision about the circumstances in which a person ceases to be a tax representative and about the withdrawal by the Commissioners of their approval of a tax representative;
provision enabling a tax representative to act on behalf of the person for whom he is the tax representative through an agent of the representative;
provision for the purposes of any provision made by virtue of paragraphs (a) to (g) above regulating the procedure to be followed in any case and imposing requirements as to the information and other particulars to be provided to the Commissioners;
provision as to the time at which things done under or for the purposes of the regulations are to take effect.
Subject to subsection (4) below, a person who— shall be liable to a penalty of £10,000.
becomes subject, in accordance with any regulations under this section, to an obligation to request the Commissioners’ approval for any person’s appointment as his tax representative, but
fails (with or without making the appointment) to make the request as required by the regulations,
A failure such as is mentioned in subsection (3) above shall not give rise to liability to a penalty under this section if the person concerned satisfies the Commissioners or, on appeal, an appeal tribunal that there is a reasonable excuse for the failure.
The tax representative of a non-resident taxpayer shall be entitled to act on the non-resident taxpayer’s behalf for the purposes of any provision made by or under this Part.
The tax representative of a non-resident taxpayer shall be under a duty, except to such extent as the Commissioners by regulations otherwise provide, to secure the non-resident taxpayer’s compliance with, and discharge of, the obligations and liabilities to which the non-resident taxpayer is subject by virtue of any provision made by or under this Part (including obligations and liabilities arising or incurred before he became the non-resident taxpayer’s tax representative).
A person who is or has been the tax representative of a non-resident taxpayer shall be personally liable— as if the obligations and liabilities to which subsection (2) above applies were imposed jointly and severally on the tax representative and the non-resident taxpayer.
in respect of any failure while he is or was the non-resident taxpayer’s tax representative to secure compliance with, or the discharge of, any obligation or liability to which subsection (2) above applies, and
in respect of anything done in the course of, or for purposes connected with, acting on the non-resident taxpayer’s behalf,
A tax representative shall not be liable by virtue of this section to be registered for the purposes of aggregates levy; but the Commissioners may by regulations—
require the registration of the names of tax representatives against the names of the non-resident taxpayers of whom they are the representatives;
make provision for the deletion of the names of persons who cease to be tax representatives.
A tax representative shall not by virtue of this section be guilty of any offence except in so far as—
he has consented to, or connived in, the commission of the offence by the non-resident taxpayer;
the commission of the offence by the non-resident taxpayer is attributable to any neglect on the part of the tax representative; or
the offence consists in a contravention by the tax representative of an obligation which, by virtue of this section, is imposed both on the tax representative and on the non-resident taxpayer.
Schedule 9 to this Act (which provides for two or more bodies corporate to be treated as members of the same group for the purposes of this Part) shall have effect.
Any aggregates levy with which a body corporate is charged in respect of aggregate subjected to commercial exploitation at a time when the body is a member of a group shall be treated for the purposes of this Part as if it were the representative member for that group (instead of that body) which is charged with the levy.
All the bodies corporate who are members of a group when any aggregates levy becomes due from the representative member, together with any bodies corporate who become members of the group while any such levy remains unpaid, shall be jointly and severally liable for any aggregates levy due from the representative member.
Subject to subsections (2) and (3) above, the Commissioners may by regulations make such provision as they consider appropriate about— in a case where the person who (apart from the regulations) would be subject to the obligation or liability is one of a number of bodies corporate registered in the name of the representative member for a group.
the person by whom any obligation or liability imposed by or under this Part is to be performed or discharged, and
the manner in which it is to be performed or discharged,
References in this section to aggregates levy being or becoming due from the representative member include references to any amounts being or becoming recoverable as if they were aggregates levy due from that member.
For the purposes of this Part—
a body corporate is a member of a group at any time in relation to which it falls to be treated as such a member in accordance with Schedule 9 to this Act; and
the body corporate which is to be taken to be the representative member for a group at any time is the member of the group which in relation to that time is the representative member under that Schedule in the case of that group.
The Commissioners may by regulations make provision for determining by what persons anything required to be done under this Part is to be done where, apart from those regulations, that requirement would fall on— but any regulations under this subsection must be construed subject to the following provisions of this section.
persons carrying on business in partnership; or

any decision by the Commissioners on a review under section 40 above (including a deemed confirmation under subsection (8) of that section);
any decision by the Commissioners on any such review of a decision referred to in section 40(1) above as the Commissioners have agreed to undertake in consequence of a request made after the end of the period mentioned in section 40(3) above.
Subject to subsections (2A) and (2B), where an appeal under section 40 relates to a decision (whether or not contained in an assessment) that an amount of aggregates levy is due from any person, it shall not be entertained unless the amount which HMRC have determined to be due has been paid or deposited with them.
the amount which the Commissioners have determined to be due has been paid or deposited with them; or
on being satisfied that the appellant would otherwise suffer hardship— that it should be entertained notwithstanding that that amount has not been so paid or deposited.
the Commissioners agree, or
the tribunal decide,
On an appeal under section 40 relating to a penalty under paragraph 7 of Schedule 6 to this Act (evasion), the burden of proof as to the matters specified in paragraphs (a) to (c) of sub-paragraph (1) of that paragraph shall lie upon the Commissioners.
In a case where the amount determined to be payable as aggregates levy has not been paid or deposited an appeal shall be entertained if—
HMRC are satisfied (on the application of the appellant), or
the appeal tribunal decides (HMRC not being so satisfied and on the application of the appellant),
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 11 and 13 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007, the decision of the appeal tribunal as to the issue of hardship is final.
HMRC must offer a person (P) a review of a decision that has been notified to P if an appeal lies under section 40 in respect of the decision.
The offer of the review must be made by notice given to P at the same time as the decision is notified to P.
This section does not apply to the notification of the conclusions of a review.
Where, on an appeal under section 40 above— the assessment shall have effect as an assessment of the amount specified in the direction and (without prejudice to any power under this Part to reduce the amount of interest payable on the amount of an assessment) as if it were an assessment notified to the appellant in that amount at the same time as the original assessment.
it is found that an assessment of the appellant ... is an assessment for an amount that is less than it ought to have been, and
the tribunal give a direction specifying the correct amount,
On an appeal under section 40 above, the powers of the appeal tribunal in relation to any decision of the Commissioners shall include a power, where the tribunal allow an appeal on the ground that the Commissioners could not reasonably have arrived at the decision, either—
to direct that the decision, so far as it remains in force, is to cease to have effect from such time as the tribunal may direct; or
to require the Commissioners to conduct, in accordance with the directions of the tribunal, a review or a further review of the original decision as appropriate.
Where, on an appeal under section 40 above, the appeal tribunal find that a liability to a penalty or to an amount of interest arises, the tribunal shall not give any direction for the modification of the amount payable in respect of that liability except—
in exercise of a power conferred on the tribunal by section 46(1) below (penalties) or paragraph 10(3) or (6) of Schedule 5 to this Act, paragraph 6(6) or (9) of Schedule 8 to this Act or paragraph 5(5) or (8) of Schedule 10 to this Act (penalty interest); or
for the purpose of making the amount payable conform to the amount of the liability imposed by this Part.
Where, on an appeal under section 40 above, it is found that the whole or part of any amount paid or deposited in pursuance of section 41(2) above is not due, so much of that amount as is found not to be due shall be repaid with interest at the rate applicable under section 197 of the Finance Act 1996.
Where, on an appeal under section 40 above, it is found that the whole or part of any amount due to the appellant by way of any repayment in respect of a tax credit has not been paid, so much of that amount as is found not to have been paid shall be paid with interest at the rate applicable under section 197 of the Finance Act 1996.
Where— it shall be paid with interest at the rate applicable under section 197 of the Finance Act 1996
an appeal under section 40 above has been entertained notwithstanding that an amount determined by the Commissioners to be payable as aggregates levy has not been paid or deposited, and
it is found on the appeal that that amount is due,
Sections 85 and 85B of the Value Added Tax Act 1994 (settling of appeals by agreement and payment of tax where there is a further appeal) shall have effect as if—
the references to section 83 of that Act included references to section 40 above, and
the references to value added tax included references to aggregates levy.
Interest under subsection (6) shall be paid without any deduction of income tax.
Any person (other than P) who has the right of appeal under section 40 against a decision may require HMRC to review that decision if that person has not appealed to the appeal tribunal under section 40G.
A notification that such a person requires a review must be made within 30 days of that person becoming aware of the decision.
Where— so much of the agreement as requires any payment to be made to the supplier at the time when or after the charge to levy on that quantity of aggregate arises shall be adjusted so as to secure that the cost of discharging the liability to pay the levy, to the extent that it would otherwise have been borne by the supplier, is borne by the person making the payment.
an agreement to supply a quantity of aggregate to any person has been entered into at any time before the commencement date, and
on or after that date aggregates levy is charged on that quantity of aggregate,
Where— the agreement shall be taken to provide that aggregates levy charged in those circumstances shall be ignored in calculating the turnover or, as the case may be, price.
an agreement with regard to any sum payable in respect of the use of land (whether the sum is called rent or royalty or otherwise) provides that the amount of the sum is to be calculated by reference to—
the turnover of a business, or
the price received for minerals extracted from the land,
the agreement was entered into before commencement date, and
the circumstances are such that (had the agreement been made on or after that date) it might reasonably be expected that it would have provided that aggregates levy charged in particular circumstances be ignored in calculating the turnover or price,
HMRC must review a decision if—
they have offered a review of the decision under section 40A, and
P notifies HMRC accepting the offer within 30 days from the date of the document containing the notification of the offer.
But P may not notify acceptance of the offer if P has already appealed to the appeal tribunal under section 40G.
HMRC must review a decision if a person other than P notifies them under section 40B.
HMRC shall not review a decision if P, or another person, has appealed to the appeal tribunal under section 40G in respect of the decision.
If under section 40A, HMRC have offered P a review of a decision, HMRC may within the relevant period notify P that the relevant period is extended.
If under section 40B another person may require HMRC to review a matter, HMRC may within the relevant period notify the other person that the relevant period is extended.
If notice is given the relevant period is extended to the end of 30 days from—
the date of the notice, or
any other date set out in the notice or a further notice.
In this section “relevant period” means—
the period of 30 days referred to in—
section 40C(1)(b) (in a case falling within subsection (1)), or
section 40B(2) (in a case falling within subsection (2)), or
if notice has been given under subsection (1) or (2), that period as extended (or as most recently extended) in accordance with subsection (3).
This section applies if—
HMRC have offered a review of a decision under section 40A and P does not accept the offer within the time allowed under section 40C(1)(b) or 40D(3); or
a person who requires a review under section 40B does not notify HMRC within the time allowed under that section or section 40D(3).
HMRC must review the decision under section 40C if—
after the time allowed, P, or the other person, notifies HMRC in writing requesting a review out of time,
HMRC are satisfied that P, or the other person, had a reasonable excuse for not accepting the offer or requiring review within the time allowed, and
HMRC are satisfied that P, or the other person, made the request without unreasonable delay after the excuse had ceased to apply.
HMRC shall not review a decision if P, or another person, has appealed to the appeal tribunal under section 40G in respect of the decision.
This section applies if HMRC are required to undertake a review under section 40C or 40E.
The nature and extent of the review are to be such as appear appropriate to HMRC in the circumstances.
For the purpose of subsection (2), HMRC must, in particular, have regard to steps taken before the beginning of the review—
by HMRC in reaching the decision, and
by any person in seeking to resolve disagreement about the decision.
The review must take account of any representations made by P, or the other person, at a stage which gives HMRC a reasonable opportunity to consider them.
The review may conclude that the decision is to be—
upheld,
varied, or
cancelled.
HMRC must give P, or the other person, notice of the conclusions of the review and their reasoning within—
a period of 45 days beginning with the relevant date, or
such other period as HMRC and P, or the other person, may agree.
In subsection (6) “relevant date” means—
the date HMRC received P’s notification accepting the offer of a review (in a case falling within section 40A), or
the date HMRC received notification from another person requiring review (in a case falling within section 40B), or
the date on which HMRC decided to undertake the review (in a case falling within section 40E).
Where HMRC are required to undertake a review but do not give notice of the conclusions within the time period specified in subsection (6), the review is to be treated as having concluded that the decision is upheld.
If subsection (8) applies, HMRC must notify P or the other person of the conclusion which the review is treated as having reached.
An appeal under section 40 is to be made to the appeal tribunal before—
the end of the period of 30 days beginning with—
in a case where P is the appellant, the date of the document notifying the decision to which the appeal relates, or
in a case where a person other than P is the appellant, the date that person becomes aware of the decision, or
if later, the end of the relevant period (within the meaning of section 40D).
But that is subject to subsections (3) to (5).
In a case where HMRC are required to undertake a review under section 40C—
an appeal may not be made until the conclusion date, and
any appeal is to be made within the period of 30 days beginning with the conclusion date.
In a case where HMRC are requested to undertake a review by virtue of section 40E—
an appeal may not be made to an appeal tribunal—
unless HMRC have notified P, or the other person, as to whether or not a review will be undertaken, and
if HMRC have notified P, or the other person, that a review will be undertaken, until the conclusion date;
any appeal where paragraph (a)(ii) applies is to be made within the period of 30 days beginning with the conclusion date;
if HMRC have notified P, or the other person, that a review will not be undertaken, an appeal may be made only if the appeal tribunal gives permission to do so.
In a case where section 40F(8) applies, an appeal may be made at any time from the end of the period specified in section 40F(6) to the date 30 days after the conclusion date.
An appeal may be made after the end of the period specified in subsection (1), (3)(b), (4)(b) or (5) if the appeal tribunal gives permission to do so.
In this section “conclusion date” means the date of the document notifying the conclusion of the review.

if collected or received in Great Britain, be placed to the general account of the Commissioners kept at the Bank of England under section 17 of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 (c. 2); and
if collected or received in Northern Ireland, be paid into the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom in such manner as the Treasury may direct.
The powers of the Commissioners under this Part to make regulations shall be exercisable by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons.
Where regulations made under this Part impose a relevant requirement on any person, they may provide that if the person fails to comply with the requirement he shall be liable, subject to subsection (3) below, to a penalty of £250.
Where by reason of any conduct— that person shall not by reason of that conduct be liable also to a penalty under any regulations under this Part.
a person is convicted of an offence (whether under this Act or otherwise), or
a person is assessed to a penalty under paragraph 7 of Schedule 6 to this Act or a penalty for a deliberate inaccuracy under Schedule 24 to the Finance Act 2007 (penalties for errors),
In subsection (2) above “relevant requirement” means any requirement other than one the penalty for a contravention of which is specified in section 25(3) or 33(3) above or in paragraph 2 of Schedule 7 to this Act.
Subject to subsection (6) below, a power under this Part to make any provision by order or regulations—
may be exercised so as to apply the provision only in such cases as may be described in the order or regulations;
may be exercised so as to make different provision for different cases or descriptions of case; and
shall include power by the order or regulations to make such supplementary, incidental, consequential or transitional provision as the Treasury or, as the case may be, the Commissioners may think fit.
Subsection (5) above does not apply to an order under section 16(6) or 24(10) above.
Where a person is liable to a civil penalty imposed by or under this Part—
the Commissioners or, on appeal, an appeal tribunal may reduce the penalty to such amount (including nil) as they think proper; but
on an appeal relating to any penalty reduced by the Commissioners, an appeal tribunal may cancel the whole or any part of the Commissioners’ reduction.
In determining whether a civil penalty should be, or should have been, reduced under subsection (1) above, no account shall be taken of any of the following matters, that is to say—
the insufficiency of the funds available to any person for paying any aggregates levy due or for paying the amount of the penalty;
the fact that there has, in the case in question or in that case taken with any other cases, been no or no significant loss of aggregates levy;
the fact that the person liable to the penalty or a person acting on his behalf has acted in good faith.
For the purposes of any provision made by or under this Part under which liability to a civil penalty does not arise in respect of conduct for which there is shown to be a reasonable excuse—
an insufficiency of funds available for paying any amount is not a reasonable excuse; and
where reliance has been placed on any other person to perform any task, neither the fact of that reliance nor any conduct of the person relied upon is a reasonable excuse.
Schedule 10 to this Act (which makes provision about the assessment of civil penalties imposed and about interest on such penalties) shall have effect.
If it appears to the Treasury that there has been a change in the value of money since the time when the amount of a civil penalty provided for by this Part was fixed, they may by order made by statutory instrument substitute, for the amount for the time being specified as the amount of that penalty, such other sum as appears to them to be justified by the change.
In subsection (5) above the reference to the time when the amount of a civil penalty was fixed is a reference—
in the case of a penalty which has not previously been modified under that subsection, to the time of the passing of this Act; and
in any other case, to the time of the making of the order under that subsection that made the most recent modification of the amount of that penalty.
An order under subsection (5) above—
shall not be made unless a draft of the order has been laid before Parliament and approved by resolution of the House of Commons; and
shall not apply to the penalty for any conduct before the coming into force of the order.
In this section “civil penalty” means any penalty liability to which arises otherwise than in consequence of a person’s conviction for a criminal offence.
Any notice, notification or requirement that is to be or may be served on, given to or imposed on any person for the purposes of any provision made by or under this Part may be served, given or imposed by sending it to that person or his tax representative by post in a letter addressed to that person or representative at the latest or usual residence or place of business of that person or representative.
Any direction required or authorised by or under this Part to be given by the Commissioners may be given by sending it by post in a letter addressed to each person affected by it at his latest or usual residence or place of business.
Any direction, notice or notification required or authorised by or under this Part to be given by the Commissioners may be withdrawn or varied by them by a direction, notice or notification given in the same manner as the one withdrawn or varied.
