What is Income Tax Litigation?
Income tax litigation arises when a taxpayer disagrees with the tax assessments, penalties, or other decisions made by the Income Tax Department. This can include disputes over income assessments, claims for deductions, audits, transfer pricing, and the imposition of penalties. Income tax litigation may involve representation before various authorities, including:
Income Tax Authorities: From the initial assessment stage to challenges related to tax demand notices, penalty notices, or refunds.
Appellate Authorities: Representation before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), where taxpayers can appeal against adverse orders made by tax authorities.
Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT): If disputes remain unresolved at the appellate level, our team represents clients before the ITAT to challenge or defend against orders passed by tax authorities.
High Court & Supreme Court: In certain cases, when the matter cannot be settled at lower levels, we provide legal representation before the High Court and the Supreme Court, ensuring that your case is pursued to the highest judicial forums.
