Ratio Decidendi
The appellant failed to demonstrate any appealable error in the factual findings of the Primary Judge. No evidence was adduced to support the allegation of fraudulent documents by the respondent. The evidence indicates that the respondent properly withheld and remitted tax payments to the ATO on behalf of the appellant, rectifying the underpayment. The grounds of appeal do not establish any error of law or misapplication of legal principle, and the notice of appeal was not incompetent though meritless.
Court Disposition
Appeal dismissed
Orders
- ['The notice of objection to competency of appeal filed on 23 November 2023 be dismissed.' 'The appeal be dismissed.' 'The parties are to bear their own costs.']
