The Appellate Subdivision is responsible for reviewing protests filed by taxpayers. Protests allow taxpayers who disagree with decisions of the Department (generally, decisions to assess a taxpayer or decisions to deny a claim for refund) to receive additional administrative review of these decisions. Upon issuance of a final determination by the Appellate Subdivision, taxpayers have the ability to seek review of the Department’s actions by filing an appeal to the Tax Session of the Connecticut Superior Court. As such, the Appellate Subdivision is the first stage of tax litigation in the State of Connecticut.
