AH2405 - Appeals Handbook: ITSA appeals: Claims: Appeal against a notice to produce documents etc


Under TMA70/Sch1A/PARA6A an appeal may be brought against a notice under TMA70/Sch1A/PARA6(2). Such a notice requires a claimant to produce documents and to furnish accounts or information required to determine whether, and if so to what extent, a claim (or an amendment to a claim) made outside a return which is the subject of an enquiry is incorrect.

The appeal must be made within 30 days of the date of issue of the notice (TMA70/Sch1A/PARA6A(2)).

The right of appeal against the notice for documents or particulars does not provide the taxpayer with the opportunity to raise an objection to our right to enquire into the claim.

The provisions relating to an enquiry into a claim made outside a return in TMA70/Sch1A/PARA6A are analogous to those in TMA70/S19A(6) which relate to an enquiry into return and the guidance in AH2115 (appeal against a notice under TMA70/S19A) applies equally to an appeal against a notice under TMA70/Sch1A/PARA6(2).
