Conclusion
I have decided as follows in respect of the four issues before the FTT:

I have decided that Moir did fail to comply with its obligations under sections 308 and 313A FA 2004.
I have decided that Moir does not have a reasonable excuse for its non-compliance.
I have decided that the total penalties to be imposed on Moir are £1,596,800.
