Penalties

Various penalties may be chargeable in the course of or at the end of a compliance check, either for failures to comply with information and inspection notices, record-keeping failures or for inaccuracies discovered in returns. The penalties that might be charged for are:-

  • A standard penalty for failing to comply with an information or inspection notice

  • A daily penalty for a continuing failure to comply with an information or inspection notice

  • A penalty for failing to keep proper records

  • A penalty for inaccuracies in a return

There is a right of appeal against standard and daily penalties, but not against a tax-related penalty imposed on the authority of the Tribunal.
