Frequently asked questions
First by administrative appeal to the Tax Appeal Directorate, within the deadline stated on the assessment notice. Its decision, or its failure to reply in time, can then be appealed to the administrative court. The route for customs decisions is similar: an appeal to the customs administration, then to court. The deadlines are short, so contact us as soon as you receive the notice.
