These will replace the First-tier Tax Tribunal and Upper Tax Tribunal for Scotland. The Scottish government has published a group of draft regulations giving effect to the new structure.
SSI/Draft The First-tier Tribunal for Scotland (Transfer of Functions of the First-tier Tax Tribunal for Scotland) Regulations 2017: these regulations transfer to the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland the existing functions and members of the First-tier Tax Tribunal for Scotland, in so far as practicable, with effect from 24 April 2017. These regulations also set out transitional arrangements for the handling of cases during transfer. Cases in progress on the day of transfer will be continued in the First-tier Tribunal with the same members dealing with the case, wherever possible. Unexercised rights of appeal will be to the Upper Tribunal for Scotland, in place of the Upper Tax Tribunal for Scotland. If a party has already exercised its right of appeal to the Upper Tax Tribunal for Scotland prior to the transfer day then the appeal will continue in the Upper Tribunal as if the appeal had been raised, transferred or referred there.
