The legal basis for raising penalties comes under the Finance Act 1994, section 9. Further guidance can be found in ECP Excise Civil Penalties and Notice 209 (ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº) Civil Penalties - fixed, geared and daily.

Examples of contraventions which attract a penalty are:

• a fixed penalty can be imposed for a late return
• a geared penalty can be imposed for late payment.

Examples of offences can be found in CIDER10200, CIDER10210 and CIDER10300.

Note: HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) review and appeal procedures provide for a person to appeal against a decision made by HMRC and to request a review. Further information on these procedures can be found in section 27 of Notice 162 (ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº).
