An inaccuracy involves an offshore transfer if

  • it does not involve an offshore matter
  • it is deliberate (whether concealed or not) and results in potential lost revenue
  • the tax at stake is income tax, capital gains tax or inheritance tax, and
  • the applicable condition of Para 4AA is satisfied.

For income tax, the applicable condition is satisfied if the income to which tax is charged, or any part of the income

  • is received in a territory outside the UK, or
  • is transferred before the filing date to a territory outside the UK.

For capital gains tax, the applicable condition is satisfied if the proceeds or any part of the proceeds of the disposal to which tax is charged

  • are received in a territory outside the UK, or
  • are transferred before the filing date to a territory outside the UK.

For inheritance tax, the applicable condition is satisfied if

  • the disposition that gives rise to the transfer of value by reason of which the tax becomes chargeable involves a transfer of assets, and
  • after the disposition but before the filing date the assets, or any part of the assets are transferred to a territory outside the UK.
