Jasbinder has made an unprompted disclosure of a deliberate inaccuracy without concealment. The PLR is £145,000.

Step 1

The percentage for the quality of the disclosure (a) has been calculated as 65%.

Step 2

The maximum penalty (b) is 70% and the minimum penalty (c) is 20%.

So the maximum disclosure reduction (d) is 70 – 20 = 50

Step 3

The actual reduction percentage for disclosure (e) is 50 x 65% = 32.5%

Step 4

Penalty percentage to be charged (f) is 70% – 32.5% = 37.5%

Step 5

The penalty to be charged (g) is £145,000 x 37.5% = £54,375
