What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, owner of the Aachen Hotel, appealed against a penalty of £720 (reduced to £200 by the Valuation Officer) for failing to provide requested information within 56 days. The appellant argued moral inconsistency in penalty application, that the information was unnecessary for rating purposes, and Covid-related difficulties. The tribunal found no reasonable excuse under the relevant legislation, noting that the appellant had not requested an extension of time despite difficulties, and dismissed the appeal.
