SM07220 - Special Measures: Representations: Warning Notices
A large business (SM02000) can only make representations to HMRC after a Warning Notice has been issued. No representations are allowed before or during the decision-making process undertaken by the designated HMRC officer (SM04000).
During the Warning Notice period, a large business is permitted to make representations to HMRC to have the Warning Notice withdrawn. This includes requests to HMRC not to issue a Special Measures Notice.
