This website will soon be updated to reflect the structure of the new Kentucky Claims Commission.
The Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals (KBTA) provides an independent, impartial and neutral forum for hearing and resolving disputes on tax issues in a timely, cost-effective alternative to the court system.
In order to ensure impartial decision making, the KBTA is organized under the Public Protection Cabinet and is completely independent of any of the taxing authorities that may appear before the board.
