Judicial Reviews of HMRC Decisions


Where a taxpayer feels they have not been treated fairly, there is a way to fight back.

Judicial review proceedings can be brought on the grounds of illegality, irrationality or procedural impropriety. They are typically used to challenge “unreasonable” behavior such as a failure by the HMRC to follow its own guidelines or going back on a previous ruling

The rules on judicial review applications have been tightened since November 2012 when David Cameron promised to crack down on “time-wasting” caused by the “massive growth industry” in legal challenges to government policy.

For that reason expert help is a good idea. At Hylton-Potts we offer a no nonsense no-frills fixed fee service, and are experts in this field. We have a 24 hour free email help service on [email protected] , and in office hours free legal helpline on 020 7381 8111.

Both services are strictly confidential and we can explain whether we can help you and if so what the fixed fees are.
