Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

(1) This paragraph applies where a person has been given a notice under paragraph 3 of Schedule 43 , or paragraph 5 of Schedule 43D, in relation to any tax arrangements (the “lead arrangements”) and the condition in sub-paragraph (2) is met.
(2) The condition is that the period of 45 days mentioned in paragraph 4(1) of Schedule 43 has expired but no notice under paragraph 12 of Schedule 43 or paragraph 8 of Schedule 43B has yet been given in respect of the matter.
(3) If a designated HMRC officer considers—
(a) that a tax advantage has arisen to a person (“R”) from tax arrangements (other than the lead arrangements) that are abusive,
(b) that those tax arrangements (“R's arrangements”) are equivalent to the lead arrangements, and
(c) that the advantage ought to be counteracted under section 209,
the officer may give R a notice (a “pooling notice”) to that effect.
