GST Audit

GST Audit is the process of examination of records, returns and other documents maintained by a taxable person. In the GST audit we verify the correctness of the turnover declared, taxes paid, refund claimed and input tax credit availed. We also assess the compliance with the provisions of GST in this process.

Tax Audit

Tax audit is intended to ensure proper maintenance of the books of accounts and other records, in order to reflect the true income of the tax payer and to facilitate the administration of tax laws by a proper presentation of the accounts before the tax authorities. We conduct the tax audit and help clients to show proper income and other information in their income tax returns and thereby help them to avoid penal and criminal consequences.

Company Audit

Company audits are conducted in order to report the state of a company's financial position to the shareholders / regulatory bodies (such as SEBI, C&AG, etc.) and Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).

We conduct company audit as per the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 and other relevant statutory laws and provide our independent opinion on true and fair view of the financial position of the Company to the shareholders / regulatory bodies.

Assessments

The process of examination of return of income is called "Assessment". After filing return of income by the assessee, the return of income shall be processed by the department. During this process, the income-tax department may select the return of income for assessment and a notice would then be issued to the tax payer requiring him to furnish documents or information in support of the return filed. We assist clients in responding and furnishing the relevant details to the tax department.

Income Tax Appeals and Settlement of Tax disputes
Appeals before CIT(A)/DRP

In case a tax payer is aggrieved with an appealable assessment order, an appeal to the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)/DRP, the first appellate authority, is often a direct recourse available. We assist the tax payer by drafting and filing an appeal to the CIT(A)/DRP and later represent the tax payer during the course of appeal to its logical conclusion.

Appeals before ITAT

Any person aggrieved with an appealable order may prefer to file an appeal before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT). Here, we analyse the case, identify additional grounds, if any, carry out legal research and prepare and file the appearl as well as the paperbook. We also represent the tax payer before the ITAT either on our own or in consultation with a senior counsel if required.

Settlement Commission

Income Tax Settlement Commission is a premier Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) body in India. The settlement mechanism allows taxpayers to disclose additional Income before it over and above what has already been disclosed before the Income tax Department. An assessee may make an application to Settlement Commission at any stage of the case.

The Commission has wide power of granting immunity from penalty and prosecution which are major sources of litigation. The orders passed by the Commission are final and conclusive. We assist in making the application to the Commission and representing the tax payer before it.
