Cross-Cutting Policy (Stockport Technical Unit)

Cross-Cutting Policy (Stockport Technical Unit) is available for consultation or advice on technical aspects of enquiry work, penalties, and years beyond normal time limits.

Cross-Cutting Policy (Stockport Technical Unit) is concerned particularly with the following technical aspects of a case

• the extent to which the degree of culpability and the penalty position have been explored and established
• whether the offer conforms within reasonable limits to the usual standard and, if not, what advice should be given or what action taken to secure a satisfactory settlement or to safeguard the Revenue’s position by formal means
• whether the letter of offer is expressed in terms which satisfy legal requirements

to ensure that, for example, the Inland Revenue’s position is safeguarded if a purchaser does not fulfil their side of a settlement bargain

Cross-Cutting Policy (Stockport Technical Unit) is concerned to improve the technical quality of compliance work. Stamp Office staff can contact them on specific cases or it may be possible to provide more general learning material or workshops on request.
