Why Tax Credit Decisions Are Not Final

Appealing against a tax credit decision

Did you know that one has the right to appeal in case they disagree with a decision on their award to tax credit? When can one ask for such a solicitation? Whenever one disagrees with the rate of your award, one has the right to appeal against the decision. The award doesn't reflect a change in different circumstances, your award is reduced or stopped altogether, also, you can appeal if you disagree about a penalty charge and last, but not least you can appeal if you’ve been charged interest on overpayments How can an appeal be made? First of all, you have to know that if you haven't been able to reach an agreement with HMRC you can ask for the decision to be looked at again. Also, it is very important for you to know that you must make your appeal within 30 days of the date shown on the decision notice. This time limit may be delayed but you must provide grounds for admitting a late appeal.

Valuable information is to know who to make the appeal to. You can fill in the form yourself, or appoint someone like a professional adviser to do it for you. If you're an appointee (you claim tax credits on behalf of someone else), you can also make the appeal for them. Remember that making an appeal is not as hard as it may sound. First, you must make your appeal in writing. There is a tax credits help line where you can call to ask for an appeal form, or you can have one downloaded. On the other hand, you can also write to the address on the decision notice explaining why you think the decision is wrong. Remember to include your name and the number for the National Insurance number. Also sign the letter. You should also know how you could retract an appeal. All you have to do is to ask to retract an appeal at any time before it is determined either orally by calling the tax credits help line or in writing to the address on the notice, or by contacting the Tribunal Service (if your appeal has been submitted to them).
