43(1)A special measures notice—U.K.

(b)expires, if not previously withdrawn, at the end of the period of 27 months beginning with the relevant day.

(a)the head of the group has been given a special measures notice in relation to the group which has not been withdrawn,
(b)the period of 24 months beginning with the relevant day has elapsed, and
(c)the period of 27 months beginning with that day has not elapsed.
(2)If a designated HMRC officer considers that the group falls within this Part, the officer may give the head of the group a notice under this paragraph (a “confirmation notice”) confirming the special measures notice given in relation to the group.

(b)that notice has expired.
(2)A designated HMRC officer may give the head of a UK group a special measures notice if—
