6 (1) Where a determination of a syndicate’s profit or loss for a year of assessment is made, varied or modified (whether under the foregoing provisions of this Schedule or on appeal), the inspector may, by notice in writing to the syndicate’s managing agent, require him to make to the inspector, within the specified period, a return apportioning, between the members of the syndicate, the syndicate’s profit or loss as stated in the determination as so made, varied or modified.

(2) If a syndicate’s managing agent, having been required by a notice under sub-paragraph (1) above to deliver a return within the specified period, fails to deliver the return within that period, he shall be liable to a penalty equal to the prescribed amount multiplied by the number of days on which the failure continues.

(3) In sub-paragraph (2) above “the prescribed amount” means £5 for each fifty members of the syndicate (counting any number of members less than fifty, and any number left over, as fifty).

(4) In this paragraph “the specified period” means such period, not being less than thirty days and beginning with the day following the date of the notice under sub-paragraph (1) above, as may be specified in that notice.
