The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) is the highest appellate authority under the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. It is appointed by the Federal Government and hears appeals against decisions of the Commissioner (Appeals). The ITAT consists of judicial and accountant members appointed by the Federal Government. It regulates its own procedures and decides appeals through benches, with decisions made based on majority opinion. A decision on a point of fact by the ITAT is final, while a decision involving a point of law can be referred to the High Court.
