PART 8 U.K.Appeals against HMRC decisions on tax

Application for payment of tax to be postponedU.K.

46(1)If the appellant has grounds for believing that the amendment or assessment overcharges a relevant person to tax, the appellant may—U.K.

(a)first apply by notice in writing to HMRC within 30 days after the specified date for a determination by them of the amount of tax the payment of which should be postponed pending the determination of the appeal, and

(b)if the appellant does not agree with a determination made by HMRC under paragraph (a), refer the application for postponement to the tribunal within 30 days from the date of the document notifying HMRC's determination.

An application under paragraph (a) must state the amount believed to be overcharged to tax and the grounds for that belief.

(2)An application under sub-paragraph (1) may be made more than 30 days after the specified date if there is a change in the circumstances of the case as a result of which the appellant has grounds for believing that the relevant person is overcharged to tax by the decision appealed against.

(3)If, after an application under sub-paragraph (1) has been determined, there is a change in the circumstances of the case as a result of which either party has grounds for believing that the amount determined has become either excessive or insufficient, that party may (if the parties cannot agree on a revised determination) apply to the tribunal for a revised determination of that amount.

(4)An application under sub-paragraph (3) may be made at any time before the determination of the appeal.

(5)Paragraphs 35 (late notice of appeal) and 44 (settling of appeals by agreement) apply to an application under this paragraph as they apply to an appeal under paragraph 33, subject to any necessary modifications.

(6)The amount of tax of which payment is to be postponed pending the determination of the appeal is the amount (if any) by which it appears that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the relevant person is overcharged.

(7)A decision of the tribunal under this paragraph is final and conclusive (despite the provisions of sections 11 and 13 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007).

(8)In this paragraph “specified date” has the meaning given by paragraph 34.
