Subject to the modifications in paragraph (2), and to paragraph (3), section 94 of the Finance Act 2009 (publishing details of deliberate tax defaulters) applies to a charity and its managers where they have incurred one or more penalties in relation to a top-up claim as it applies to a person who has incurred a tax penalty.

a reference to a relevant tax penalty is to be treated as a reference to a penalty under paragraph 1(1) or 1A(1) of Schedule 24 to the Finance Act 2007 as applied by regulation 15;

b

a reference to potential lost revenue is to be treated as a reference to the amount of overpayment to be repaid to HMRC as a result of correcting the inaccuracy to which the penalty relates;

c

all references to Schedule 41 to the Finance Act 2008 (penalties: failure to notify and certain VAT and excise wrongdoing) are omitted.
