CH194540 - Electronic sales suppression: penalty for possessing an electronic sales suppression tool: assessing the penalty

We will issue a penalty notice when a person is liable to a penalty for possessing an electronic sales suppression tool. This will either be when they have failed to satisfy us that an electronic sales suppression tool has been removed; or when we have evidence to suggest a second or subsequent possession within 5 years of a prior electronic sales suppression possession penalty.

The penalty for possession of an electronic sales suppression tool is normally £1,000, although it is possible that in some circumstances we will consider the case for a penalty of less than £1,000.

When we charge a penalty, we will issue a penalty notice telling the person

  • the effective date of the notice
  • what leads them to be liable to a penalty and the reasons why the penalty has been charged
  • the legislation under which the penalty is due
  • the amount of the penalty
  • how we calculated the penalty
  • what they owe
  • when and how they must pay the penalty
  • that they will be liable for daily penalties, from the date of the notice, for continued possession

A notice for daily penalties must also show

  • the period to which the assessment relates (date to date inclusive)
  • the number of days included
  • the daily amount of the penalty, and
  • the total amount of the penalties

The notice must explain the recipient바카라 사이트™s right to appeal and the appeal process.

The notice must explain that the penalty must be paid within 30 days of the later of

  • the date on which the notice was issued if an appeal is not made, and
  • the date on which any appeal is determined or withdrawn.
