IHTM32220 - IHTA84/S219A notices: failure to comply with a notice


Where a person fails to comply with a IHTA84/S219A notice, ensure the address to which the notice was sent is correct by using the resources available to RRLT & DMB if necessary. If correct, refer the papers to the Grade 7 manager to take seek a penalty ( IHTM36000) under IHTA84/S245A(3). If the information is received shortly after the time allowed in the notice you should try and agree payment of a penalty up to £50, depending upon the circumstances. The penalty should be accounted for in the same way as other penalty payments ( IHTM36000).

If the documents are not received then the manager should ask Litigation to commence proceedings before the First-tier Tribunal in accordance with IHTA84/S249 (4). Any penalty obtained should be noted on the information notice database.
