ECH22535 - Yield Recording: Formal Charges


Where it is not possible to include an underpayment in a contract settlement the ECO will need to consider raising

  • Regulation 80 determinations ( ECH22090),
  • Section 8 decisions ( ECH22095),
  • Regulation 14 assessments.

for any employer/contractor liabilities

Where appropriate the ECO should

  • consider formal penalty determinations and,
  • seek advice from CCP prior to taking any action ( ECH21135).

The review should remain open until

  • the determination, assessment or decision is finalised or,
  • where a formal penalty determination is being sought,
  • the date on which the penalty determination is finalised.

The ECO should claim

  • the full amount of yield included in the determination, assessment or decision,
  • the interest up to the earlier of the date the review is closed or the date payment was made,
  • the amount of the penalty, if appropriate.
