What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, owner of a hotel, failed to provide information requested by the Valuation Officer within 56 days in April 2021 and was issued a £100 penalty notice in December 2021 after multiple reminders. The appellant claimed not to have received the initial notices as they were sent to the property address where he did not live, and was unable to visit due to COVID-19 restrictions. The tribunal found these reasons were not a reasonable excuse for non-compliance and dismissed the appeal.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was The Barrow Arms Ltd, unrepresented.
