Statute overview

About this statute

These rules set out how tax issues are to be settled amicably. A taxpayer must request amicable settlement of a tax dispute in writing and send it to the Commissioner General. A taxpayer may request amicable settlement of tax issues only if the request is written, signed, specific, supported by evidence, and submitted within the stated time limit; it is generally subject to paying 25% of the principal tax, unless the issues are already before court. The Tax Administration meets the applicant, may ask for more supporting evidence, and if an amicable solution is reached, prepares an agreement for both parties to sign. Tax disputes may be settled amicably, but if they are, both parties sign an amicable settlement agreement and the case cannot be taken to court.
