Who are we

The Hardship Review Board (HRB) is an independent body who reviews certain decisions made by Revenue NSW.

We can review a decision about fines, fees, taxes and duties. Depending on the type of debt we can direct Revenue NSW to change their decision. 

Before applying to us, you need to ask Revenue for a payment plan, work and development order or write-off. Find out how Revenue NSW can help you.

The Hardship Review Board is independent of Revenue NSW.
