Some content of this manual is being considered for archiving. If there is content you use regularly, please email [email protected] to let us know as soon as possible.

Regulation 72A (4) of the 2003 PAYE Regulations confirms the employer’s right of appeal against a refusal notice. An appeal should be made in writing within 30 days of the issue of the notice, specifying the grounds of appeal.

The grounds of appeal are that:

• the employer did take reasonable care to comply with these Regulations

• the failure to deduct the excess was due to an error made in good faith.

If the employer appeals, you should:

• acknowledge the appeal

• review any new evidence or facts and if they lead you to a different opinion

• reconsider issuing a direction notice.

If you consider that there are no grounds to support the appeal:

• list the reasons why the refusal notice was made

• confirm your opinion to the employer

• invite the appellant to withdraw the appeal under S54 TMA 1970 see DMBM523250

• request the employer pays the amount due or amends their P35/FPS/EYU.

If the employer responds and refuses to withdraw their appeal, follow the guidance at DMBM523210.
