You can of course try to make a precedent case out of this, by pursuing it up to the higher courts. Is there any indication in the letter as to what the options are? From a quick glance at the HMRC website, it seems that their Complaints procedure would not apply, as we're talking about a formal decision here. They have two internal procedures, called 'Review' and 'Appeal'. It should be marked in the letter whether there is a Review option (by HMRC itself) or an Appeal option to the independent tribunal (http://www.tribunals.gov.uk/tax/). It is possible that both of them are not available, which means that we would need to seek Judicial Review at the Administrative Division of the High Court...we definitely want to have a lawyer at least for Appeal or Judicial Review, and it would be good for HMRC-internal review.
