MANCHESTER TRIBUNAL CENTRE Reference No: MAN/06/637
TELECOM INSTALLATIONS SERVICES LTD Appellant
and
THE COMMISSIONERS FOR
HER MAJESTY'S REVENUE AND CUSTOMS Respondents
Tribunal Chairman: David S Porter
Sitting in public in Manchester on 1 December 2006
DIRECTION
under Rule 30(8)
This appeal against a decision of the Respondents with respect to a surcharge assessment dated 17 February 2006 and 26 Mary 2006 in the sum of f 1,427.24 and being a reasonable excuse appeal as defined by rule 2 of the Value Added Tax Tribunals Rules 1986 as amended coming on for hearing this day
And upon hearing Mr D Willis for the Appellant and Mrs K Tilling of the Solicitor's office of HM Revenue and Customs for the Respondents
And this tribunal having heard this appeal and having announced its decision
And the Appellant and the Respondents by their said representatives stating pursuant to the rule 30(8) of the said Rules as amended that they do not require the said decision to be recorded in a written document in accordance with rule 30(1) of the said Rules
This tribunal finds that the Appellant does have a reasonable excuse for the default which resulted in the Respondents making the assessment under appeal. A reasonable excuse for 17 February 2006 was given. 26 May 2006 therefore becomes the surcharge liability notice and the surcharge of £1,427.24 drops out of charge.
And this tribunal directs that this appeal is allowed in part and that there is to be no direction as to costs
