SPE11060 - Reviews and appeals: tribunals

Note: This manual is under review following Brexit and is likely to be withdrawn. If there is anything within this manual you use regularly, please email hmrcmanualsteam@hmrc.gov.uk to let us know. Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC.

The National Review and Appeals (NRA) team will inform the Customs Special Procedures policy team of all Tribunal cases involving a special procedure. This is to ensure that the legislation has been applied consistently. It also allows a contribution (where appropriate) to be made to the Statement of Case and/or Skeleton Arguments to ensure that the special procedure had been operated in accordance with the objectives/requirements of the procedure.

If a decision is the subject of an appeal, the NRA becomes a client of the Solicitor’s office.

Note: Northern Ireland (NI) customs authorisations will continue to fall within the provisions of the Union Customs Code (UCC), as retained by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and CEMA 1979.
