L&S webinar on Tax Litigation Handholding

Recent trends demonstrate that investigations including physical search and raids by the Taxman have become commonplace. While the necessity of this exercise to apprehend tax evaders cannot be doubted, the same should be employed with utmost caution. Due weightage must be given to the complexities that any tax legislation poses in interpretation and compliance.

As responsible corporate citizens, it is imperative to fully co-operate with the investigating agencies. At the same time, it is also important to understand the duties, responsibilities and the rights of the company officials before, during and after the investigation process.

Both indirect and direct tax laws in India provide for multifarious checks and balances to protect the legitimate interests of the taxpayers. Therefore, holistic awareness of the investigation process is the need of the hour.
