Departmental GST appeals below the prescribed monetary limit...

Departmental GST appeals below the prescribed monetary limit require the Revenue to identify and establish a specified exception to the binding litigation-management policy. A bare assertion that the Commissioner approved an appeal does not establish a case-specific, reasoned exercise of residual discretion or satisfy conditions governing the right of appeal. Maintainability must be determined before tax merits. Without an established exception, an appeal below the threshold is not maintainable and the underlying tax merits are not examined.
