Taxation

The compliance calendar

Most tax exposure arises not from contested positions but from missed dates. We build a compliance calendar around each entity covering every recurring obligation, and work to it rather than to the deadline itself.

Direct tax

• Preparation and filing of income tax returns for companies, firms, LLPs, trusts and individuals
• Advance tax computation and periodic review against actual results
• Tax deducted at source — computation, deposit, quarterly returns and certificates
• Tax audit under Section 44AB
• Representation before assessing and appellate authorities
• Advisory on the tax consequences of proposed transactions, taken before the transaction rather than after

Indirect tax

• Goods and Services Tax registration, and amendments to registration
• Monthly, quarterly and annual GST returns
• Reconciliation of input tax credit with supplier filings
• Annual return and reconciliation statement
• Departmental audit support and response to notices
• Advisory on classification, place of supply and credit eligibility

Assessment and representation

Where a position is questioned, we prepare the response, assemble the supporting record and appear before the authority concerned. The objective at every stage is to close the matter on the documentation rather than to escalate it.

Advisory taken early

The cost of a tax position is usually fixed at the moment the transaction is structured, not at the moment it is assessed. Advisory work is most useful before the entry is passed.
