The effect is that eligibility for relief, and whether relief is withdrawn, is determined by the circumstances of the 바카라 사이트渞elevant person바카라 사이트� rather than the 바카라 사이트渇inancial institution바카라 사이트� (para 11(3)(a)). The 바카라 사이트渞elevant person바카라 사이트� is the person other than the financial institution who entered into the alternative finance arrangement.
Similarly, liability for tax when relief is withdrawn lies with the 바카라 사이트渞elevant person바카라 사이트� (paras 5 and 6 of Schedule 23 to the Finance Act 2021).
