The Big Picture of Appeals

A taxpayer can lodge an appeal for a variety of reasons. They may wish to dispute certain specific assessments or they may wish to appeal a number of charges related to an assessment such as systemic penalty and interest amounts. If tax returns are adjusted by tax authority staff or new obligations created as a result of an audit case, new assessments may be created that could be disputed.

An appeal process is used to capture the information related to an appeal, track the events involved in reviewing the appeal and record the decision made by each review process.
