Eight new territories have been added to the list of those territories which will not give rise to aggravated penalties for a ‘relevant offshore asset move’. Two territories have been removed, including the United States.

These penalties apply where a person, who is already liable to a penalty in respect of a ‘deliberate failure’, moves funds to a less transparent, ‘non-specified territory’ with the intention of evading potential further liabilities.

The Offshore Asset Moves Penalty (Specified Territories) (Amendment) Regulations, SI 2017/989, come into force on 3 November 2017.
