About this template
What is this template?
This is a narrow-scope power of attorney focused exclusively on a single income tax assessment year appeal. It is not a general power of attorney and does not grant authority over bank accounts or property outside of the specific tax litigation described.
When should you use it?
Use this when a business partner cannot personally attend to a tax tribunal appeal and needs to authorize a representative to hire an advocate and sign court papers. Use a General Power of Attorney instead if the representative needs to handle all financial and legal affairs for the firm.
