This publication was withdrawn on

Reason for withdrawal:

HMRC published a technical note in 2018 when draft legislation was published for planned policy changes relating to penalty reform. Spring Budget 2021 confirmed the policy so the technical note has been updated to reflect changes made to the policy since 2018. The 2018 technical note has been superseded and users should follow guidance on penalties for late submission.
