If you do not agree with the decision we have made regarding your LSCT then you can;

If you have asked for a reconsideration and we have decided not to change the decision then you can appeal against it.
Making an LSCT appeal. Appeals against LSCT decisions are dealt with by an independent tribunal body, the Valuation Tribunal Service (VTS).
You have two months from the date we send you the outcome of your reconsideration request to submit an appeal to the VTS. If you have not received a reply to your reconsideration request within two months then you may appeal directly to the VTS.
Appeals to the VTS are submitted online at www.valuationtribunal.gov.uk. You can only submit an appeal if you have first asked us for a reconsideration.
We will receive notification from the VTS if you have submitted an appeal. Once we are advised of the hearing date we will provide you with a copy of our case.
