Appealing an HMRC decision in 2026? Here’s how internal reviews and tax tribunal appeals differ in the UK.

If you disagree with an appealable HMRC assessment, penalty or other decision, you may have options for challenging it rather than simply accepting the outcome. An HMRC internal review generally involves another HMRC officer reconsidering the decision, while eligible disputes may ultimately be taken to the independent First-tier Tribunal.

This video explains who these routes may apply to, how an internal review differs from tribunal proceedings, and the practical factors to consider before choosing your next step.

Deadlines can be important in HMRC disputes, and the correct procedure depends on the type of tax and decision involved. Missing an appeal deadline, submitting weak grounds or following the wrong route can make resolving the dispute more difficult.

HMRC has powers to request information and documents from third parties where they are relevant to checking a person's tax position. Depending on the circumstances, this could involve your bank, accountant, tax agent, customers, clients or other organisations holding information connected with your financial affairs.

In this video, MTA explains how third-party information notices can work, why HMRC may use them and what information could potentially be requested.

This is particularly relevant to company directors, sole traders, landlords, contractors, business owners and individuals who are subject to an HMRC compliance check or tax investigation.

We also discuss practical steps you can take if you become aware of a notice, including reviewing your records, understanding the scope of HMRC's request and obtaining professional advice where appropriate. Ignoring tax compliance issues or providing incomplete information can create additional risks, so accurate records and timely responses are important.

This video explains how HMRC’s COP9 process can affect UK company directors personally when suspected company tax fraud is involved in 2026.

COP9, or the Contractual Disclosure Facility process, is generally used by HMRC in cases where deliberate tax fraud is suspected. Although wrongdoing may initially relate to a limited company, directors can face personal scrutiny where HMRC believes they were involved in, authorised, concealed or benefited from deliberate inaccuracies.

This is particularly relevant to company directors, shareholders, officers and individuals responsible for tax returns, company finances or decisions affecting HMRC liabilities.

Directors should understand their responsibilities, preserve accurate records, avoid making unsupported statements and obtain professional advice before responding to serious HMRC correspondence. Early professional guidance can help clarify the scope of an investigation and reduce the risk of further compliance issues.

COP9 cases can involve significant tax liabilities, interest, penalties and wider consequences where deliberate conduct is established. Proper disclosure, accurate records and full cooperation with professional advisers are essential.

This video explains how transferring UK property between spouses or civil partners before a sale can affect Capital Gains Tax in 2026.

HMRC generally allows spouses and civil partners who are living together to transfer assets between themselves on a “no gain, no loss” basis. However, this does not erase the underlying gain. Instead, the receiving spouse will usually inherit the original CGT cost, which can become important when the property is later sold.

This applies to married couples and civil partners considering changing property ownership before a disposal. We explain why the timing of the transfer, beneficial ownership, available reliefs and each spouse’s tax position should be reviewed before taking action.

Transfers should reflect genuine legal and beneficial ownership. Poor timing, incomplete documentation or assuming a transfer automatically removes CGT could result in unexpected tax consequences. HMRC rules should always be considered alongside the facts of the transaction.

This video explains the 2026 UK Capital Gains Tax considerations when extending the lease on a flat you already own.

Many leaseholders assume that extending their own lease is simply a legal or property transaction with no immediate tax consequences. However, depending on how the extension is structured, the old lease may technically be treated as surrendered and a new lease granted, potentially creating a CGT disposal for tax purposes.

This can apply to UK flat owners extending residential leases, including situations involving freeholders, connected parties or negotiated lease variations.

HMRC provides specific guidance, including circumstances where concessionary treatment may mean that no immediate gain arises. The precise treatment depends on the terms of the existing lease, the extension agreement, consideration paid and whether the transaction satisfies the relevant conditions.

Before completing a lease extension, keep the legal documents, valuations and payment records and consider obtaining professional tax advice. Incorrect assumptions about the CGT position could affect your tax calculations, records or Self Assessment obligations.
