Underlying the current trend of tax reforms in many countries is the recognition that it is important for the authorities to ensure that taxpayers’ needs are met in the same way that businesses accord priority to meeting their customers’ requirements.

This includes options for seeking redress when disputes with the authorities arise on matters related to taxes and payments. It is, therefore, timely to review the adequacy of current rules and procedures relating to tax appeals to provide taxpayers with a fair, transparent and easily accessible system for resolving disputes.
