Tax Appeals Process

The tax appeals process allows taxpayers to challenge decisions made by tax authorities regarding their liabilities. If you disagree with your tax assessment, you can first informally discuss it with the tax authority. If unresolved, you can file a formal appeal, usually submitting required forms and supporting documents. This appeal is reviewed by a tribunal or court that assesses the evidence. A decision is then made, which could affirm, reduce, or increase your tax liability. If still unsatisfied, further legal action may be possible, including appealing to higher courts, depending on jurisdictional rules.
