Latest version.
  • (a)   Representation. In an administrative proceeding the taxpayer/registrant may represent himself/herself at any stage of the proceeding or may be represented by:
    (1)   A corporation;
    (2)   An attorney;
    (3)   An accountant, but only in a tax protest matter; or,
    (4)   A representative who has been pre-approved by the Commission to represent the taxpayer/registrant.

If a taxpayer/registrant wants to be represented by someone other than himself, an attorney, or an accountant, the Administrative Law Judge may require that such other person, before being recognized as a representative of the taxpayer/registrant, make a proper showing of necessary qualifications to enable the representative to render such services to the taxpayer. Upon such showing by the representative, the Administrative Law Judge may certify the representative.
