TTM04020 - The Training Requirement: Administration

Administered by DfT

The training link is administered wholly byDfT. The link between training and the tax regime occurs at the point of election and at renewal.

HMRC tax specialists should not need to make any enquiries of a company or group about the training link, other than to establish whether it holds the appropriate certificate fromDfT.

DfTwill supply companies/groups with certificates confirming their eligibility to elect into the Tonnage Tax regime (see TTM04110) and will issue certificates of non-compliance (see TTM04230) if a company/group has a persistently poor track recordon training.
