IHTM36171 - Calculating the penalty: Board바카라 사이트™s policy
Penalties are expressed as sums 바카라 사이트˜not exceeding바카라 사이트™ and it follows that the First-tier Tribunal or any Court before which penalty proceedings are taken can impose a penalty less than the maximum. Under IHTA84/S253 the Board also has powers to compound for penalties before commencing proceedings and, indeed, mitigate the penalty after judgement.
With this in mind, the Board바카라 사이트™s policy in arriving at a pecuniary settlement for tax geared penalties is to abate (IHTM36174) the maximum statutory penalties to an appropriate percentage of the culpable tax (IHTM36176). In effect the Board is giving up a right to take proceedings in return for an agreed sum. The Board바카라 사이트™s policy is also to abate non-tax geared penalties.
Criminal proceedings (IHTM36172) may affect the ability to seek a penalty.
