Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
EXPLANATORY NOTE
These Regulations make legislative amendments so that where a review or appeal under Part 11 of the Revenue Scotland and Tax Powers Act 2014 (“the Act”) is in progress, a taxpayer may make an application to Revenue Scotland to postpone the payment of tax, penalty or interest in relation to either a liability for aggregates tax under the Aggregates Tax and Devolved Taxes Administration (Scotland) Act 2024 or a liability for Scottish landfill tax under the Landfill Tax (Scotland) Act 2014, notwithstanding the provision in section 245 of the Act that in such a situation tax, penalty and interest are due and payable. As provided for in the Revenue Scotland and Tax Powers Act (Postponement of Tax Pending a Review or Appeal) Regulations 2015, a postponement can be granted if Revenue Scotland considers that there are exceptional circumstances.
