Following a short trial of online filing of appeal forms that started in May 2017, online filing of appeals has become available to all appellants since the end of June 2017.

The online service is available for appeals which can be made direct to the Tribunal (eg, involving VAT and other indirect taxes or applications for enquiry closure notices) or for appeals which have been made first to HMRC, but on which the parties have not been able to reach agreement.

The online appeal form includes step-by-step guidance on completing an appeal. Benefits of using the new online service include:

·         one-step process for lodging an appeal and receiving an acknowledgement with a reference number;

·         the option to upload documents online, saving on postal costs;

·         ‘save and return’ function allowing the application form to be saved and completed at a later time; and

·         information is validated when entered onto the system, making applications less likely to be rejected for incomplete or incorrect information.
