959AJ Chargeable persons and other persons: grounds for appeal

Summary

This section provides that where a person makes an appeal, the person must specify the exact grounds of the appeal and the amounts or matters being appealed.

Details

When a person is appealing against an assessment, they must specify each amount in the assessment or amended assessment which they wish to appeal, and the exact grounds for such an appeal.

If a notice of appeal does not contain this information then the notice, in so far as it relates to a specific item, shall be invalid and the appeal deemed not to have been brought.

Any grounds for appeal not stated in the notice cannot be included at a later date unless the Appeal Commissioner, or the Circuit Court judge, are satisfied that it could not have been so included.
