Protected Disclosure in the TAC

Published: 10 January 2025

From: Tax Appeals Commission

The Tax Appeals Commission has procedures in place for protected disclosures that have been developed in line with the Protected Disclosures Act 2014  and the Protected Disclosures (Amendment) Act 2022, and agreed upon by the Chairperson and senior management.

These procedures detail:

  • how staff members can make a disclosure
  • what happens when disclosures are made
  • what the TAC does to protect the staff members

The Tax Appeals Commission has a strong commitment to ensuring its culture and working environment encourages, facilitates and supports employees. This particularly refers to anyone

who might wish to 'speak up' on an issue that impinges on the TAC's ability to carry out its responsibilities.
