A taxpayer will be guilty of an offence under sections 106B, 106C or 106D of the Taxes Management Act 1970 (c. 9) (“TMA 1970”) in respect of certain failures to comply with sections 7 or 8 of the TMA 1970 for the year of assessment commencing on 6th April 2017 or a subsequent year where, as a result of the failure, the taxpayer does not tell the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) that the taxpayer is liable to pay an amount of income tax or capital gains tax chargeable on or by reference to offshore income, assets or liabilities (“relevant tax”). There is no offence under those provisions if the total of the relevant tax unreported to HMRC for the year of assessment in question does not exceed the “threshold amount”. Regulation 3 specifies the threshold amount as £25,000. Regulations 4 to 9 set out the means of determining whether the threshold amount has been exceeded.

These Regulations come into force on 3rd November 2017. They amend the list of “specified territories” in the Schedule to the Offshore Asset Moves Penalty (Specified Territories) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/866) (“the Specified Territories Regulations”). The Specified Territory Regulations specify the territories for the purposes of determining whether a “relevant offshore asset move” described in paragraph 4 of Schedule 21 to the Finance Act 2015 (c. 11) (“Schedule 21”) has occurred. A person becomes liable to a penalty under Schedule 21 if that person is already liable to a penalty specified in paragraph 2 of Schedule 21 (“the original penalty”) in respect of a “deliberate failure” (see paragraph 3 of Schedule 21) and, after the relevant time (determined in accordance with paragraph 5 of Schedule 21), that person makes a relevant offshore asset move (from a “specified territory” to a “non-specified territory”) for the purpose of preventing or delaying the discovery by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs of the potential loss of income tax, capital gains tax or inheritance tax relating to the original penalty.
