About this statute

HMRC is responsible for collecting and managing income tax, corporation tax, and capital gains tax, and some taxpayers must notify an officer of chargeability and file returns or partnership returns by set deadlines. The provision lets HMRC and other tax officers enquire into certain partnership returns, require information and records, make assessments, and impose penalties for non-compliance. The text sets deadlines and procedures for tax appeals and simple-assessment queries, including written appeal notices, HMRC review, postponement, and response duties. This provision sets appeal notification deadlines, review/acceptance-period rules, and several tax payment, postponement, and repayment rules. This provision sets out tax-collection and recovery steps, including demands, receipts, distress, warrants, interest, and some penalty rules.
