Things to Know or Watch Out For with Tax Disputes
- You Have the Right to Challenge a Tax Assessment
If you disagree with a tax liability issued by Revenue, you are entitled to appeal it. We guide you through this process with full technical and procedural support. - Timing is Critical
There are strict deadlines for lodging tax appeals — typically within 30 days of receiving an assessment. Acting quickly gives you the best chance of success. - Not All Disputes Require Court Action
Many disputes can be resolved through negotiation or by submitting additional evidence. We aim to settle matters efficiently without unnecessary escalation. - Strong Documentation Strengthens Your Position
We help gather and present records, contracts, and financial data to support your case and respond to Revenue queries effectively.
- Interest and Penalties Add Up Quickly
Leaving disputes unresolved can lead to mounting liabilities. We help manage exposure, negotiate penalty reductions, and agree on realistic payment plans where needed. - Revenue’s Position is Not Always Final
If you’ve received an unfavourable outcome from Revenue, we may still be able to appeal to the Tax Appeals Commission or higher courts. - You Don’t Have to Face Revenue Alone
We act as your representative in all correspondence, meetings, and hearings — managing the process so you don’t have to. - Resolution Can Prevent Future Issues
A properly managed dispute not only resolves the immediate issue but can help improve your compliance processes and avoid similar problems down the line.
