The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the hierarchical appeal filed by the taxpayer against an act issued by the Director-General of Contributions and Taxes. The court determined that while the Director-General possesses proper jurisdiction over acts listed in Annex II of Law DL 323/89, this power is not exclusive. Consequently, a necessary hierarchical appeal is mandatory to access judicial review unless specific delegation of authority occurred. The appeal was rejected because the plaintiff failed to demonstrate such delegation, rendering the vertical appeal procedurally defective.
