When you give a notice to a partner, whose tax position is not being checked, to check the tax position of one other partner in their capacity as a partner, then
- if the recipient partner is not a relevant partner, see CH23700.
Or exceptionally
- if the recipient partner is a relevant partner, see CH23720,
the following rules apply
- Your notice must name the other partner.
- You do not need to give a copy of your notice to the named partner.
- You do not need approval from the named partner.
- The recipient partner’s appeal rights against the notice are as set out in CH23520.
- If you seek the tribunal’s approval you do not need to give a summary of your reasons to each partner, although you may if you consider it appropriate. You should consider carefully and respond positively to any request by a partner for a summary of reasons, provided that doing so will not jeopardise your check.
Guidance about relevant partners is at CH21600.
