Detailed guidance on these applications can be found at EM1975+.

This application will be heard and determined as if it was an appeal. Both the taxpayer and the Revenue have the right to appeal to the Courts if they are dissatisfied with the Commissioners’ decision as being wrong in law.

Onus on Revenue

The Commissioners must give a direction unless they are satisfied that you have reasonable grounds for not issuing a closure notice and, where they do give a direction, they will always give a time limit within which the notice must be issued. This puts the onus on you to show why you should be allowed to continue with your enquiries. You will need to be able to give the Commissioners your reasons for continuing with an enquiry in all cases, even where the case has been selected on a wholly random basis as well as in cases which have been selected as a result of a risk analysis.

The taxpayer’s right to seek a direction for a closure notice does not affect your unconditional right to enquire into any return. You should be prepared to emphasise this to the Commissioners and to explain that you do not need to be dissatisfied with a return before you can enquire into it.
