This paragraph applies if—

(a)

a person (“P”) is given a third party notice or financial institution notice (“the notice”), and

the tribunal has disapplied the requirement in paragraph 4(1) or 4A(7)(a) (as the case may be) to give a copy of the notice to the taxpayer to whom it relates.

(b)

any other person, except for a purpose relating to compliance with the notice.

(3)

A requirement imposed under sub-paragraph (2) has effect for a period of 12 months beginning with the day on which P is given the notice unless, before the end of that period—

(a)

the requirement is withdrawn in accordance with sub-paragraph (4), or

(b)

the period is extended in accordance with sub-paragraph (5).

(4)

An officer of Revenue and Customs may, by notice in writing to P, withdraw a requirement imposed under sub-paragraph (2).

An officer of Revenue and Customs may—

(a)

by notice in writing to P, extend the period for which a requirement imposed under sub-paragraph (2) has effect for a further period of 12 months (beginning with the day after the last day of the previous period), and

(b)

do so on one or more occasions.

an authorised officer of Revenue and Customs has agreed to the withdrawal of the requirement or the extension of the period (as the case may be).
