What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant disputed a £100 penalty issued for failure to provide information requested by the Valuation Officer within the statutory 56-day period. The appellant claimed confusion over the form instructions, stating she believed no further information was required after completing Part D. The tribunal found no evidence that the form was fully completed and returned within the required timescale, that the requested information was in the appellant's possession or control, and that no reasonable excuse had been submitted. The appeal was dismissed.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was an individual ratepayer, unrepresented.
