Section 106B Offence of failing to give notice of being chargeable to taxF1
A person who is required by section 7 to give notice of being chargeable to income tax or capital gains tax (or both) for a year of assessment and who has not given that notice by the end of the notification period commits an offence if—
the tax in question is chargeable (wholly or in part) on or by reference to offshore income, assets or activities, and
the total amount of income tax and capital gains tax that is chargeable for the year of assessment on or by reference to offshore income, assets or activities exceeds the threshold amount.
It is a defence for a person accused of an offence under this section to prove that the person had a reasonable excuse for failing to give the notice required by section 7.
In this section “the notification period” has the same meaning as in section 7 (see subsection (1C) of that section).
