CH270600 - How to do a compliance check: Penalties for failure to comply with Information and Inspection notices: Appeals
There is a right of appeal against the initial £300 penalty and daily penalties, but not against a tax-related penalty imposed on the authority of the tribunal. Appeals are handled and settled in the same way as appeals against information notices.
A person does not have to pay a penalty if they appeal against it. You should instruct the SAFE Nominee to stand over the charge if you receive an appeal against the penalty.
When the appeal is finally settled you should instruct the SAFE Nominee to amend the charge, or release or cancel a stand over as appropriate.
See the Appeals Reviews and Tribunals Guidance (ARTG) for detailed guidance about appeals.
