The Ministry of Justice is consulting on proposals to introduce fees for taxpayers who take their cases to the First-tier or Upper Tribunal as part of a wider set of proposals to introduce and or increase charges for courts and tribunals. For the First-tier Tribunal an issue fee of £50 is proposed, and for standard and complex cases an issue fee of £200. Proposed fees for cases which go to full hearing are £200 for basic, £500 standard and £1,000 complex. For the Upper Tribunal a fee of £100 to seek permission to appeal is proposed and £2,000 for a substantive appeal hearing. The deadline for responses is 15 September. See www.bit.ly/1M0PQaL.
