Question Time – The Pitfalls & Opportunites of the New Tribunal System
Don’t miss the Question Time style debate on the Pitfalls & Opportunities of the New Tribunal System, moderated by Ray McCann and featuring special guest panellists David Southern, James Bullock, Hartley Foster and Adam Craggs.
The new Tribunal system has been in place from over a year. How does it differ from the General and Special Commissioners? Will the new Tribunal make it easier for taxpayers to dispute matters with HMRC or will increased complexity mean that unrepresented taxpayers are denied effective independent arbitration? Will those taxpayers who do challenge the HMRC view find that the new process is more costly?
Four tax litigation experts will discuss these points and more and offer first hand advice on the new Tribunal system. They will also reflect on whether in its early decisions the Tribunal appears to be more or less taxpayer friendly.
