Paragraph 15 Duplication of liability to penalties

A person is not liable to penalties under more than one of paragraph 8 (failure to apply due diligence procedures), paragraph 9 (failure to keep or preserve records) and paragraph 13 (inaccurate or incomplete data) in respect of the same act or omission.

Where, apart from sub-paragraph (1), a person would be so liable, the person is liable to a penalty in respect of that act or omission under whichever one of paragraphs 8, 9 or 13 is, in the opinion of an officer of Revenue and Customs, appropriate in the circumstances.
