HC Deb 01 November 1965 vol 718 cc121-2W
79. Mr. William Clark

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will issue instructions to the Inland Revenue that where a notice of meeting of Commissioners, following an appeal, is sent to the appellant, a copy will be sent to the agent acting for such appellant.

Mr. MacDermot

No. The Income Tax Acts provide for notice to be given only to the appellant. I understand that in many divisions the Clerk to the Commissioners and in others the Inspector of Taxes on behalf of the Clerk, arranges for the taxpayer's agent to be informed of an appeal hearing.
