CH225650 | How to do a compliance check: information powers: third party notice: partnerships: notice to a partner, whose tax position is not being checked, to check one partner

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 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
