Disputes with the Tax Authorities

If a disagreement has arisen between you and the tax authorities, it doesn’t pay to be afraid of standing firm. Don’t be afraid of arguing with taxmen!

The first thing to do is to analyse the situation to determine what prospects such a disagreement has. Then you need to look at the likely legal expenses in relation to the possible tax savings in the event of a favourable resolution. It does not always make sense to begin legal proceedings.

Tax authorities’ acts, and the actions or inactions of their functionaries can be appealed to a higher tax authority (higher than the functionary in question) or in court.

Filing a grievance with the higher tax authority does not affect the right to simultaneously or subsequently file an analogous grievance in court. As practice shows, settling matters through a court decision has a greater chance of success.
