Section 43
Right of appeal
of Petroleum (Income Tax) Act 1967
A chargeable person aggrieved by an assessment made in respect of him may appeal to the Special Commissioners against the assessment by giving to the Director General within thirty days after the service of the notice of assessment (or within such extended period as may be allowed under section 44) a written notice of appeal in the prescribed form stating the grounds of appeal and containing such other particulars as may be required by that form.
(2)
Where an assessment has been made in respect of a person appointed under section 28 to be the agent of a chargeable person, the agent and that chargeable person shall for the purposes of this section and the other provisions of this Act relating to appeals each be treated as the person in respect of whom the assessment was made and, if they both appeal against the assessment, their appeals shall if possible be dealt with together.
(3)
Where in a case to which section 29 applies the principal has appealed against an assessment, the representative, whether or not he himself has appealed or is entitled to appeal against the assessment and without prejudice to any other power conferred on him by subparagraph 12(c) of the Third Schedule, may represent and act generally on behalf of the principal for the purposes of the provisions of this Act relating to appeals (‘the principal’ and ‘the representative’
here having the same meaning as in section 29).
(4)
This section shall not apply to an assessment made under subsection 38(1) or section 39A, except where a chargeable person in respect of such assessment is aggrieved by the public ruling made under section 71B or any practice of the Director General generally prevailing at the time when the assessment is made.
