Statutory Reviews


A Statutory Review is an internal HMRC process whereby an officer who was not involved in the original decision looks again at the relevant facts and law and scrutinises the casework. 

Are you facing a statutory review?

A Statutory Review is an internal HMRC process whereby an officer who was not involved in the original decision looks again at the relevant facts and law and scrutinises the casework. The reviewer can either uphold, vary or cancel the decision.


We would ordinarily request a formal Statutory Review when we feel that the caseworker is biased or not objective enough or has made unreasonable information requests.


We can assist with preparation of your case statement as part of the formal HMRC Review procedure and guide you through the entire process.
