Notices requiring documents or particulars: Copy documents

Can I provide a copy document instead of the original?

Yes, a copy document can be provided in response to a notice issued by HMRC.

However, if you do provide a copy, HMRC have the right to ask you for the original if necessary.

Should HMRC issue you with a further notice requiring the original document, the notice will specify a time by which it is to be produced. You will be given a minimum period of 30 days from the day the further notice was given to produce the original.

HMRC have the right to issue such notices by electronic means, should you have consented to the use of electronic communications.

HMRC have the right to copy or make extracts from any document produced in response to a notice.
