Any matter or an appeal for by a tax payer to BOTA should not be taken and jump to the Tax Court, because 1. That\u2019s the right of the tax payer and 2. You can have one matter of case under two separate jurisdiction simultaneously in the same state.<\/p>\n<p>BOTA needs a quorum which she doesn\u2019t have but it doesn\u2019t make the LRA right to remove cases that are on the docket or table of BOTA for hearing to the Tax Court without allowing the Tax Payer to exhaust their right. It\u2019s national government responsibilities to do the completion of BOTA commission to have quorum to allow Tax Payer Exercise their right. It\u2019s unfair and it\u2019s undermine our tax collection reputation and scare investors.
