About Tax Tribunal Help

Every year, thousands of appeals are filed with the First-tier Tribunal (Tax Chamber). Nearly half of appellants represent themselves. Most have no idea where to start.

Tax Tribunal Help provides plain-English guides on HMRC decisions, tribunal procedure, deadlines, and what to expect if you're appealing without representation.

New here? Start with What Is The Tax Tribunal?, our explainer of what the tribunal is, who decides your case, and what it can and cannot do.

Who writes this?

I'm Liam Williams. Background in Mathematics and Computer Science (Imperial College London), currently studying law and tax. I write about tax tribunal procedure to make it accessible to non-lawyers.

Also in the US

If your dispute is with the IRS rather than HMRC, our sister site Tax Court Help covers United States Tax Court petitions the way this site covers UK tribunal appeals.
