The Enforcement by Deduction from Accounts (Imposition of Charges by Deposit-takers) Regulations 2016

Schedule 8 to the Finance (No.2) Act 2015 (c.33) makes provision for the collection of sums due and payable by a person to HMRC by making a deduction from accounts that the person holds with deposit-takers (“direct recovery of debts”).These Regulations provide that a deposit-taker is prevented from charging a fee in respect of administrative costs incurred by it in complying with any obligation that it is required to carry out under that Schedule other than in certain specified circumstances.
