A reporting financial institution or UK representative cannot be liable to penalties under any two or more of regulations 22A (failure to comply with due diligence procedures), 22B (failure to comply with record-keeping requirements), and 22D (inaccurate or incomplete reports) in respect of the same act or omission.
2
Where, apart from paragraph (1), a reporting financial institution or UK representative would be so liable, the reporting financial institution or UK representative is liable to a penalty in respect of that act or omission under whichever of regulations 22A, 22B and 22D is, in the opinion of an officer of Revenue and Customs, correct or appropriate in the circumstances.

Assessment of penalties by HMRC
22K
1
An officer of Revenue and Customs may make an assessment imposing a penalty under any of regulations 22A to 22H and setting it at such amount as, in the opinion of the officer, is appropriate.
2
Notice of an assessment of a penalty under this regulation must—
a
be given to the person liable to the penalty,
b
state the date on which it is issued and the time within which an appeal against the assessment may be made, and
c
in the case of an assessment of a penalty under regulation 22A, 22B, 22C, or 22D, state the reportable period in respect of which the penalty is assessed.
3
Subject to paragraph (4), after a notice of assessment of a penalty under this regulation has been given, the assessment must not be altered except on appeal.
4
If it is discovered by an officer of Revenue and Customs that the amount of a penalty under regulation 22C(b), 22E(b), 22F(b) or 22G(b) which has been assessed under this regulation is or has become insufficient, the officer may make an assessment in a further amount so that the penalty is set at the amount which, in the opinion of that officer, is appropriate.

Time limits and treatment of penalties
22L
1
An assessment of a penalty under regulation 22B, 22C, 22E, 22F or 22G must be made within the period of 12 months beginning with the date on which the person became liable to the penalty.
2
An assessment of a penalty under regulation 22A, 22D or 22H must be made—
a
within the period of 12 months beginning with the date on which the inaccuracy, incompleteness or failure first came to the attention of an officer of Revenue and Customs, and
b
within the period of 6 years beginning with the date on which the reporting financial institution or UK representative became liable to the penalty.
3
A penalty assessed under regulation 22K is due and payable at the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which the notice of assessment is issued.
4
A penalty assessed under regulation 22K is to be treated for all purposes as if it were tax charged in an assessment and due and payable.

Right to appeal against penalty assessments
22M
An appeal may be brought against a penalty assessment under regulation 22K—
a
on the grounds that liability to a penalty under any of regulations 22A to 22H does not arise, or
b
as to the amount of a penalty assessed under any of regulations 22A to 22H.

Procedure on appeal
22N
1

a
state the grounds of appeal, and
b
be given—
i
in writing;
ii
before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the date on which notice of the assessment under regulation 22K(2) was issued;
iii
to HMRC.
2
Subject to paragraph (3), the provisions of Part 5 of the Taxes Management Act 1970 relating to appeals have effect in relation to an appeal against an assessment under regulation 22M as they have effect in relation to an appeal against an assessment to income tax.
3
On an appeal under regulation 22M that is notified to the tribunal, the tribunal may—
a
if it appears that no liability to a penalty has arisen, set the assessment aside,
b
if the amount assessed appears to be appropriate, confirm the assessment,
c
if the amount assessed appears to be excessive, reduce it to such other amount (including nil) as the tribunal considers appropriate, or
d
if the amount assessed appears to be insufficient, increase it to such amount not exceeding the permitted maximum as the tribunal considers appropriate.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations are made to give effect to the agreements and arrangements reached between the Government of the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions to improve international tax compliance. The agreements and arrangements are-
- - Council Directive 2011/16/EU (“the DAC”);
- - the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on the Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information signed by the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on 29th October 2014, this implements the Common Reporting Standard developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development which has been agreed by the jurisdictions listed in Schedule 1 (“the CRS”);
- - the agreement reached between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the United States of America to improve international tax compliance and to implement FATCA, signed on 12th September 2012 (“the FATCA agreement”).
Regulation 1 provides for citation, commencement, effect and interpretation. It identifies and defines the above agreements and arrangements and provides that a reference to one of the agreements or arrangements (“relevant agreement”) is a reference to how the agreement takes effect from time to time.
Regulation 2 defines “reportable account” and makes provision for a reporting financial institution to elect for a calendar year to treat certain accounts as if they were not reportable accounts.
Regulation 3 requires reporting financial institutions to establish and maintain arrangements to identify reportable accounts and the tax residence of holders of accounts and to apply the appropriate due diligence requirements.
Regulations 4 and 5 modify the due diligence requirements in specified cases.
Regulation 6 requires reporting financial institutions to make an electronic return in respect of every calendar year from a year specified in that regulation.
Regulation 7 sets out provisions in relation to the electronic return and makes provision as to the form and manner of the return to be specified in specific or general directions given by the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.
Regulations 8 and 9 modify the reporting and due diligence requirements in relation to certain cases in respect of the FATCA agreement.
Regulation 10 imposes a notification obligation.
Regulation 11 is concerned with the position of reporting financial institutions that are not resident in the United Kingdom, in such a case the obligations of an institution are to be treated as if they were also the obligations of its UK representative.
Regulation 12 permits the use of service providers to undertake the identification and reporting obligations in regulations 6 and 7.
Regulations 13 to 22 make provision for penalties for breach of obligations under these Regulations.
Regulation 23 is an anti-avoidance provision.
Regulation 24 contains definitions.
Regulation 25 revokes the International Tax Compliance (United States of America) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/1506) as these Regulations replace those Regulations.
Schedule 1 sets out the participation jurisdictions in relation to the CRS.
Schedule 2 sets out excluded accounts for the purposes of the DAC and the CRS.
A transposition note which sets out how the main elements of the DAC are transposed into UK law is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum covering this instrument.
