Appeal to the tribunal

You can appeal to the tax tribunal online.

You’ll need:

  • a scan or photo of your original notice or review conclusion letter
  • reasons for your appeal, so the judge can understand your side of the argument

If you appeal more than 30 days after the date on your decision letter, you’ll need to explain why your appeal is late.

You can also use this service to apply to close an enquiry.

What happens next

You’ll get a letter from the tribunal explaining what happens next. You might be asked to provide more documents to support your case.

Not all cases will have a hearing, but you can ask for one. You’ll usually get at least 14 days’ notice of the date of the hearing. The tribunal will write to you with details of what you need to do.
