11. Recommendations for
implementation :
(1) If the Federal Tax Ombudsman
is of opinion that the matter considered amounts to maladministration,
he shall communicate his finding with a recommendation to the Revenue
Division within a period of sixty days from the date of receipt of the
complaint, reference or motion, as the case may be.
(2) The Revenue Division shall, within
such time as may be specified by the Federal Tax Ombudsman, inform his
about the action taken on his recommendations or the reasons for not complying
with the same.
(3) In any case where the Federal
Tax Ombudsman has considered a matter, or conducted an investigation,
on a complaint or on a reference by the president, the Senate or the National
Assembly or on a motion by the Supreme Court or a High Court, the Federal
Tax Ombudsman shall forward a copy of the communication received by him
from the Revenue Division in pursuance of sub-section (2) to the complainant
or, as the case may be, the President, the Senate, the National Assembly,
the Supreme Court or the High Court.
(4) If, after conducting an investigation,
it appears to the Federal Tax Ombudsman that an injustice has been caused
to the person aggrieved in consequence of maladministration and that the
injustice has not been or will not be remedied, he may, if he thinks fit,
lay a special report on the case before the President.
(5) If the Revenue Division does
not comply with the recommendations of the Federal Tax Ombudsman or does
not give reasons to the satisfaction of the Federal Tax Ombudsman for
non-compliance, it shall be treated as "Defiance of Recommendations"
and shall be dealt with as hereinafter provided.
