Before you can calculate a penalty you will have:

  • calculated and agreed the potential lost revenue (PLR), see CH94200
  • established the type of behaviour, see CH402000 
  • established the type of disclosure, see CH403202 
  • determined any reductions for quality of disclosure, see CH403203

You will need these details for each tax period and each tax regime.
