The National Penalty Processing System (NPPS) is used by HMRC to record certain types of information. NPPS is a standalone system for these purposes only. It is not used to record all penalties charged by HMRC across all of its compliance or wider activities.
NPPS does not exclusively hold data relating to ‘Offshore Penalty: Failure to Correct’.

Answered by Victoria Atkins - Secretary of State for Health and Social Care
HMRC takes a range of approaches to tackle tax avoidance. Regimes, such as STAR and GAAR, act as important deterrents aimed at changing the behaviour of the most persistent tax avoiders who continue to try to circumvent their tax obligations and so avoid making their fair contribution to society
As a result of the action the Government has taken to clamp down on marketed tax avoidance, the estimated tax gap from marketed avoidance sold primarily to individuals, has fallen from an estimated £1.5 billion in 2005-06 to £0.4 billion in 2020-21.
