Tax Appellants Directed to Make Additional Deposits Based on Tribunal's Judgment
The Tribunal directed most appellants, who had already deposited over 50% of the tax, to make additional deposits. One specific appellant was instructed to deposit a set amount within 8 weeks, while others had the remaining tax and interest waived with recovery stayed pending appeal disposal. The judgment provided tailored directives based on individual tax deposits and a previous Tribunal stay order, setting a compliance deadline for reporting.
