An employer may, on a very rare occasion, request to reduce the level of surcharge on the grounds of mitigating circumstances outside those detailed at DMBM521810.
The Appeals, Reviews and Tribunal Guidance manual (ARTG) provides guidance on how to handle pleas for mitigation.
Mitigation will only be considered after the surcharge has been determined and the employer has exhausted (or abandoned) their appeal rights.
