Section 217I | Amendment of company tax return by company ^F1

(1)This section applies where a designated officer assesses a company’s unassessed transfer pricing profits for an accounting period under section 217H.

(2)At any time before the end of the period for amendments, the company may amend its company tax return for the accounting period so that its self-assessment more fully reflects the transfer pricing requirement to which the unassessed transfer pricing profits relate.

(3)In this Chapter “the period for amendments” means the period of 15 months beginning with the day after the day on which the designated officer assesses the company’s unassessed transfer pricing profits under section 217H.

(4)If, before the end of the period of 15 months referred to in subsection (3), a designated officer and the company agree (in writing) that the period for amendments is to terminate, the period ends when that agreement is made.

(5)An amendment under subsection (2) may not be made in the last 21 days of the period for amendments, unless the period for amendments ends by agreement in accordance with subsection (4).

(6)Paragraph 31(3) of Schedule 18 to FA 1998 (amendment not to take effect during enquiry) does not apply in relation to an amendment made under subsection (2).
