Departmental GST appeals below the prescribed monetary limit are governed by binding litigation-policy circulars. The disputed amount must be computed under the circular, and Revenue must establish a recognised exception. Reliance on the residual interest-of-justice-or-revenue exception requires the Commissioner's recorded, case-specific opinion and its basis; a general appellate authorisation is insufficient. Without such exception or supporting record, the departmental appeal was unmaintainable and dismissed at the threshold, leaving the underlying tax merits undecided.
