(1)

If a person who would otherwise be liable to a penalty of a percentage shown in column 1 of the Table (a “standard percentage”) has made a disclosure, HMRC must reduce the standard percentage to one that reflects the quality of the disclosure.

(2)

But the standard percentage may not be reduced to a percentage that is below the minimum shown for it—

(a)

for a prompted disclosure, in column 2 of the Table, and

(b)

for an unprompted disclosure, in column 3 of the Table.

(3)

Where the Table shows a different minimum for case A and case B—

(a)

the case A minimum applies if HMRC becomes aware of the failure less than 12 months after the time when the tax first becomes unpaid by reason of the failure;

(b)

otherwise, the case B minimum applies.
