10(1)This paragraph applies if—U.K.
(a)P fails to pay an amount of tax when it becomes due and payable,
(b)P makes a request to HMRC that payment of the amount of tax be deferred, and
(c)HMRC agrees that payment of that amount may be deferred for a period (“the deferral period”).
(2)If P would (apart from this sub-paragraph) become liable, between the date on which P makes the request and the end of the deferral period, to a penalty under any paragraph of this Schedule for failing to pay that amount, P is not liable to that penalty.
(3)But if—
(a)P breaks the agreement (see sub-paragraph (4)), and
(b)HMRC serves on P a notice specifying any penalty to which P would become liable apart from sub-paragraph (2),
P becomes liable, at the date of the notice, to that penalty.
(4)P breaks an agreement if—
(a)P fails to pay the amount of tax in question when the deferral period ends, or
(b)the deferral is subject to P complying with a condition (including a condition that part of the amount be paid during the deferral period) and P fails to comply with it.
(5)If the agreement mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(c) is varied at any time by a further agreement between P and HMRC, this paragraph applies from that time to the agreement as varied.
