14(1)This paragraph applies where an asset-based penalty is chargeable in relation to an asset that is jointly held by P and another person (A).

(2)The value of the asset is to be taken to be the value of P’s share of the asset.

(3)In a case where P and A—

the asset is to be taken to be jointly owned by P and A in equal shares, unless it appears to HMRC that this is not the case.
