Tax decision appeal (UK)
A taxpayer who disagrees with an appealable tax decision can challenge it under the relevant procedure, generally within 30 days of the decision notice. Direct and indirect tax procedures differ; a statutory review and an appeal to the independent tax tribunal may be available. The notice, deadline and applicable route must be checked.
Worked example
A taxpayer receives an appealable income tax decision and disagrees with it. They follow the direct-tax appeal instructions in the decision notice within the applicable deadline and consider the available review or tribunal process.
Common mistake
Assuming the direct and indirect tax routes are identical or ignoring the appeal deadline.
