INTRODUCTION

An Appeal, under Section 99 of the Income Tax Act, is a right available to any taxpayer who is “aggrieved in respect of an assessment made against him”. Obviously, certain conditions must first be fulfilled to pursue this entitlement. As in many dealings with Inland Revenue, making the appeal is only the beginning of a possibly long drawn-out communication which if properly managed by the taxpayer can often result in a most welcome conclusion.
The subject of Appeal is addressed in detail in Section 99 and even an entire Schedule 5. Considering the complications that could arise leading to the matter being referred to the Special Commissioners, Revenue has established Dispute Resolution Proceedings where agreement between Taxpayer and the Director General could be achieved in a less formal environment. A Public Ruling has also been issued.
