Anyone issued with a notice to produce a document may provide a copy of the original. However, if a copy is produced HMRC has the right to ask for production of the original. This will be effected by issuing a notice specifying a period within which the original is to be produced.

Such notice may be given electronically if the proposed recipient has consented to the use of electronic communications for the delivery of information by HMRC.

The period specified by the notice will allow a minimum of 30 days beginning with the day on which notice is given. HMRC has the right to copy or make extracts from any document produced in response to a notice issued under section 252 Finance Act 2004.
