INTRODUCTION
Taxpayers who wish to contest assessments raised by the IRB may either appeal to the Special Commissioners of Income Tax or file a Judicial Review at the High Court. It is therefore crucial for tax consultants and taxpayers to understand the difference between these forums. Taxpayers who appeal against tax assessments should also be aware of the legal procedures, technicalities, implications and costs involved in the appeal process. This workshop provides the basic “know-how” for taxpayers and tax agent when preparing tax appeals and how to deal with lawyers. This workshop also covers a vital chapter on Director’s Duties and Responsibilities which arms Directors with the knowledge and awareness of their tax responsibilities.
