The Tax Appeals Commission launched a recruitment campaign for a Temporary (4 year) Appeal Commissioner last Friday, 1 October 2021.
The Tax Appeals Commission is an independent statutory body under the aegis of the Department of Finance whose main task is hearing, determining and disposing of appeals against assessments and decisions of the Revenue Commissioners concerning taxes and duties in accordance with relevant legislation. The Commission replaced the former Office of the Appeal Commissioners in 2016. On the completion of this campaign, the Minister for Finance will appoint up to four successful candidates as Temporary Appeal Commissioners under the Finance (Tax Appeals) Act 2015. The ideal candidates will be committed to efficient decision making and have an interest in such work.
The Role
The role of a Temporary (4 year) Appeal Commissioner is an important post with a demanding, but interesting and varied workload. Temporary (4 year) Appeal Commissioner will be required to make determinations on matters that are in dispute between the appellant and Revenue involving a wide range of taxes and duties up to a value of individual appeals of €10,000,000. It is anticipated that the Appeal Commissioner would be able to manage an individual case load for certain years of appeal and/or the various types of appeals.
The Person
The ideal candidate should have a conscientious understanding of the law and an ability to exercise the quasi-judicial function in administration of justice in both an independent and impartial basis. They should also exhibit high standards in conduct in order to reinforce public confidence in the Commission. In addition, he/she should present excellent analytical abilities and preferably have qualified as a barrister, solicitor, tax consultant, accountant, or have experience in the field of tax or a business-related field and be adaptable to the role.
