Removal of Extended Time Limit Restriction for EU Cases
HMRC has published draft legislation making amendments to section 107 Finance Act 2007, the legislation providing for an extended time limit restriction for EU cases. This measure removes the direct tax restriction on extended time limits for actions for relief from the consequences of a mistake of law if the tax was charged contrary to European Union law. The proposed amendment will exclude actions relating to the charging of tax contrary to EU law from the effect of the current legislation.
