Tax Law
Tax Appeal
A challenge filed by a taxpayer (or the tax department) against an assessment or other tax order, before a higher appellate authority or tribunal.
Taxpayers dissatisfied with an assessment order can appeal, typically first to the Commissioner (Appeals), and if still unsatisfied, to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, with further appeal on substantial questions of law available to the High Court and Supreme Court.
Because each level has its own timelines and requirements, missing an appeal deadline can mean losing the right to challenge an otherwise incorrect tax demand.
