Synopsis

In Türkiye, certain tax disputes were resolved by tax objection and tax appeal commissions before 1982. These commissions did not fully possess certain guarantees and characteristics that should be present in a typical court. These are: independence, impartiality, and final judgment. This chapter focuses on whether these boards are typical courts in the context of the aforementioned guarantees and characteristics. A similar commission operating in Nigeria is also examined within the scope of this chapter.
