The focus of tax assessments is gradually shifting from micro issues (such as, procedural disallowances) to issue based and concept based reviews. Given the legal labyrinth that taxpayers often face, a judicious cost-benefit analysis is imperative in deciding which issues are worthwhile to litigate and on which issues it is more viable to concede. We, with our experience and in-depth knowledge help in making this decision. Complicated direct tax litigation at all levels of the Income tax Authorities is our forte.
