What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant appealed a £100 civil penalty imposed by the Valuation Officer for failure to provide information on the Form of Return within 56 days. The appellant argued that COVID-19 restrictions and difficulties in the licensed trade constituted a reasonable excuse. The tribunal found the reasons provided were not reasonable and dismissed the appeal, declining to mitigate or remit the penalty.
