    trading as DES Appellant

    and

    HER MAJESTY'S REVENUE AND CUSTOMS Respondents

    Tribunal Chairman: Michael Tildesley OBE

    Sitting in public in Birmingham on the 27 July 2005

    DIRECTION

    under Rule 30(8)

    This appeal against a decision of the Respondents with respect to a surcharge assessment dated the 26 November 2004 in the sum of £5730.32 and being a reasonable excuse appeal as defined by rule 2 of the Value Added Tax Tribunals Rules 1986 as amended coming on for hearing this day

    And upon hearing Simon Collins, managing director, for the Appellant and Richard Mansell of the Acting Solicitor for HM Revenue and Customs for the Respondents

    And this tribunal having heard this appeal and having announced its decision

    And the Appellant and the Respondents by their said representatives stating pursuant to the rule 30(8) of the said Rules as amended that they do not require the said decision to be recorded in a written document in accordance with rule 30(1) of the said Rules

    This tribunal finds that the Appellant does have a reasonable excuse for the default which resulted in the Respondents making the assessment under appeal, namely that the return and payment was despatched at such time and in such manner that it would be reasonable to expect that it would be received by the Commissioners within the appropriate time limit

    And this tribunal directs that this appeal is allowed

    And that there is to be no direction as to costs
