Find answers to common questions about Direct Taxes
While a Statutory Audit verifies the accuracy of your financial statements for external stakeholders, a Tax Health Check is a proactive internal diagnostic. It focuses specifically on identifying hidden tax risks (like incorrect GST rates or unclaimed credits) and optimizing your tax positions to save money—something a standard audit may not cover.
We deep-dive into individual high-value or high-risk transactions to ensure the documentation, classification, and tax treatment comply strictly with current laws. This prevents future penalties during departmental audits.
A Writ Petition is an extraordinary remedy filed directly in the High Court. It is typically used when there is a gross violation of natural justice (e.g., an order passed without a hearing), a complete lack of jurisdiction by the tax officer, or when the law itself is being challenged as unconstitutional. Regular appeals are for challenging the "correctness" of an assessment.
An Advance Ruling provides you with certainty. If you are starting a new business model or a complex transaction, you can ask the authority for a binding decision on the tax impact beforehand. This eliminates the risk of future disputes and allows for precise financial planning.
