    This appeal against a decision of the Respondents with respect to surcharge assessments dated the 6 March 2003 and 4 September 2003 in the sums of £3348.92 and £4793.57 respectively and being a reasonable excuse appeal as defined by rule 2 of the Value Added Tax Tribunals Rules 1986 as amended coming on for hearing this day
