CH122700 - Offshore matters: asset-based penalties: assessment process

When assessing a taxpayer for an asset-based penalty HMRC must:

  • assess the penalty, and
  • notify the taxpayer.

The notice must include:

  • the year to which the penalty relates, and
  • the investigation period within which that tax year falls. For more information on investigation periods, see CH122180.

A penalty must be paid within 30 days of the penalty notification being issued.
