What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant company failed to return completed information to the Valuation Officer within 56 days of a request dated 26 June 2024. Although the appellant submitted proof of postage showing the form was sent on 27 August 2024, this was two days after the statutory deadline of 25 August 2024. The tribunal found no reasonable excuse, as no extension was requested and the information was eventually obtainable. The penalty of £100 was correctly issued and the appeal was dismissed.
