Overview
Receiving a notice from the tax department can be unsettling, but most notices follow a defined process with clear timelines. What matters is understanding exactly what is being asked and responding accurately, completely and on time.
We analyse the notice, gather supporting evidence, draft submissions and represent you before the authorities, as permitted by law, in faceless or physical proceedings.
Who this is for
- Individuals who have received an intimation or notice
- Businesses under scrutiny assessment
- Taxpayers with demands or refund adjustments
- Taxpayers considering an appeal
Scope of work
The precise scope is confirmed in writing for each engagement. It typically includes:
- Review of intimations under section 143(1) and rectification requests
- Responses to notices for scrutiny, reassessment or verification
- Responses in faceless assessment proceedings

- Filing of appeals and representation, where authorised
- Advice on stay of demand and payment options
