There are a number of reasons why people need to appeal to the First-Tier Tax Tribunal and most of them are when someone (individual partnership or company) is in dispute with HMRC.
The Tax Tribunal is the ultimate authority for these appeals and people appeal to the Tax Tribunal for a number of reasons including:
Appeals to the Tax Tribunal must be made in different ways for direct and indirect taxes and normally the appeal has to be made to the Tax Tribunal within 30 days of the date that HMRC notify the individual of their decision.
Gilbert Tax has specialist knowledge of dealing with appeals to the First-Tier Tax Tribunal for direct tax matters.
The appeal process to the Tax Tribunal usually starts when you receive a decision letter or ruling from HMRC. This should tell you if you have a right to appeal, when you need to appeal by and how to do it. In most cases, you have 30 days from the date of the decision to appeal.
You can normally ask HMRC to postpone payment of some or all of the tax due as a result of the decision while the appeal is ongoing. However, interest will accrue on the amount and you will need to pay it if the final decision remains unchanged.
There is also at this stage an option to have a review undertaken by HMRC into the facts of the case before the matter is listed for the Tax Tribunal. This review is undertaken by a different HMRC officer from the one whom made the original decision and normally takes place within 45 days of the request for the review.
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of this review you can then have the matter heard by the Tax Tribunal (First-tier Tribunal (Tax).
At Gilbert Tax, we have over eighty years experience in finding closure for clients dealing with HMRC disputes and appeals.
