Illustration for Taxation Review Authorities Act 1994

If you are appointed as a Taxation Review Authority, you are not personally responsible for things you do or do not do as part of your job, as long as you are trying to do the right thing. You have certain powers and authorities as an Authority, and you will not be personally liable for acts done in good faith while using these powers. This means you are protected if you make a genuine mistake while doing your job.
