That aspect sounds like a nightmare. It is good that we can highlight that.
I have a technical question to finish up. When a taxpayer gets a notice of assessment and has 30 days to appeal it, the taxpayer can sometimes be in the dark about the methodology of how Revenue arrived at the assessment. At later stages, it is difficult to introduce new aspects to an appeal except in limited circumstances. Could more be done for taxpayers to highlight how Revenue arrives at certain figures in the notice of assessment or at the tax liability?
