A Practical Guide to Tax Appeals guides the tax practitioner through all the stages of taking a litigious dispute with the HMRC to court - from getting started; explaining the processes at the First-Tier Tribunal, the Higher Courts and the European Court of Justice; representative litigation; the judicial review; procedural challenges; alternative dispute resolution; criminal offences, costs and interest; disclosure and privilege; proof and evidence; witnesses; and finishing by explaining what happens in the hearing. This information is presented in a clear and straightforward style, while at the same time remaining well grounded in intellectual rigour and authority.
