On an appeal under this section the tribunal may—

a

affirm, vary or cancel the counteraction notice, or

b

affirm, vary or quash an assessment made in accordance with the notice.

4

But the bringing of an appeal under this section does not affect—

the validity of the counteraction notice, or

b

the validity of any other thing done under or in accordance with section 746 (counteraction notices),

pending the determination of the proceedings.
