35(1)This paragraph applies where an undertaking is a parent undertaking in relation to another undertaking (a subsidiary undertaking).
(2)Where a third party notice is given to any person for the purpose of checking the tax position of the parent undertaking and any of its subsidiary undertakings, paragraph 2 only requires the notice to state this and name the parent undertaking.
(3)In relation to such a notice—
(a)in paragraphs 3 and 4 (approval etc of notices and copying third party notices to taxpayer), the references to the taxpayer have effect as if they were references to the parent undertaking, but
(b)in paragraph 30(2) (no appeal in relation to taxpayer’s statutory records), the reference to the taxpayer has effect as if it were a reference to the parent undertaking and each of its subsidiary undertakings.
(4)Where a third party notice is given to the parent undertaking for the purpose of checking the tax position of one or more subsidiary undertakings—
(a)paragraphs 3(1) and 4(1) (approval etc of notices and copying third party notices to taxpayer) do not apply to the notice, but
(b)paragraph 21 (restrictions on giving taxpayer notice where taxpayer has made tax return) applies as if the notice was a taxpayer notice or taxpayer notices given to the subsidiary undertaking or each of the subsidiary undertakings.
(5)Where a notice is given under paragraph 5 to the parent undertaking for the purpose of checking the tax position of one or more subsidiary undertakings whose identities are not known to the officer giving the notice, sub-paragraph (3) of that paragraph (approval of First-tier Tribunal) does not apply.
(6)Where a third party notice or a notice under paragraph 5 is given to the parent undertaking for the purpose of checking the tax position of one or more subsidiary undertakings, the parent undertaking may not appeal against a requirement in the notice to produce any document that forms part of the statutory records of the parent undertaking or any of its subsidiary undertakings.
(7)In this paragraph “parent undertaking”, “subsidiary undertaking” and “undertaking” have the same meaning as in the Companies Acts (see sections 1161 and 1162 of, and Schedule 7 to, the Companies Act 2006 (c. 46)).
