Tax disputes · Practice guide · 13 September 2026
A practical preparation checklist from the AKHB website content programme. It is general process guidance, not a conclusion on an individual legal obligation.
Preserve the complete record
Keep the complete notice, annexures, portal communication and evidence of receipt. Capture the issue date, service information and stated response date separately.
Build a chronology
List the relevant period, filings, earlier correspondence, orders and submissions in date order. Separate established facts from assumptions and disputed statements.
Map issues to evidence
For each question, identify the supporting ledger, agreement, invoice, return or explanation. Note missing records and the person responsible for obtaining them.
Review before submission
Have the applicable provision, deadline, requested relief, attachments and authority to submit checked by the responsible professional. Keep the acknowledgement of the final submission.
Prepare the next conversation
Bring the relevant facts, documents, jurisdictions and deadlines to the discussion.
