We’ll look at your complaint and try to put things right.
Follow a different process if you:
- disagree with our tax decision or a penalty
- wish to complain about the Welsh Government or its ministers
- have feedback that’s not a complaint, use our online feedback form
Contact our Information Officer if your complaint is about a freedom of information request.
