International Tax Planning & Consulting

This process can be one of the most complex and costly challenges faced by companies with operations across the globe. With an increasing focus on international compliances and constantly changing business and legal environment, multinational businesses are hampered by several tax issues, challenging priorities, and limited resources.

Consulting on Double Tax Avoidance Agreement

The Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) is a tax treaty signed between two or more countries to help taxpayers avoid payment of double taxes on the same income. This agreement becomes applicable in cases where an individual is a resident of one nation but earns income in another.

This agreement can be either made comprehensive or capturing all income sources or limited to certain areas i.e. taxing of income from shipping, air transport, etc. Our country now has more than 80+ Double Tax Avoidance Agreement and are planning to sign such more treaties with more countries to broaden the scope of business.

Assisting in Transfer Pricing and Specified Cross-Border Transactions

Transfer price is the price at which related business parties transact with each other, such as during the trade of supplies or labor between departments. Transfer prices are used when individual entities of a larger multi-entity firm are treated and measured as separately run entities. It is common for multi-entity corporations to be consolidated on a financial reporting basis; however, they may report each entity separately for tax purposes.

Cross border transactions can also be termed as an international transaction as the term explains. It is the transaction between two entities from different countries. These transactions do not take into account territorial limits or boundaries. Our team of accountants and consultants are fully aware of all the terms and conditions involved and adhere to help our clients with such matters efficiently.

Assessment Proceedings

Assessment under section 143(1) is like preliminary checking of the return of income. At this stage no detailed scrutiny of the return of income is carried out. At this stage, the total income or loss is computed after making the right adjustments.

However, no adjustments are made unless an intimation is given to the assessee of such adjustment either in writing or in electronic mode. Further, the response received from the assessee, if any, shall be considered before making any adjustment, and in a case where no response is received within 30 days of the issue of such intimation, such adjustments shall be made.

Income Tax Appellate Tribunal Proceedings

It is a quasi-judicial institution set up in January 1941 and specializes in dealing with appeals under the Direct Taxes Acts. The orders passed by the ITAT are final, an appeal lies to the High Court only if a substantial question of law arises for determination.

Starting in 1941 with six Members constituting three Benches - one each at Delhi, Kolkata (Calcutta) and Mumbai (Bombay), the numbers of Benches have progressively increased and presently ITAT has 63 Benches at 27 different stations covering almost all the cities having a seat of the High Court.

Historically speaking, a tax was introduced in India by the Act of 1860, where the assessment was made by a Panchayat and a person feeling aggrieved by the order could appeal to the Collector of the District, whose order was final. Subsequently, the successive Acts of 1868, 1869, 1870, 1872, 1886, 1916, and 1917 made improvements providing for an appeal from the order of the Collector of the District to the Commissioner of Revenue of the Division but no reference was available to the High Court under these Acts. "Income Tax Act" in its modern form, as we know, was introduced which legislated advisory jurisdiction to the High Courts.

Search, Seizure, and Survey Proceedings

Search operations are exploratory exercises based on information with the income tax department to find hidden income and wealth in cases of taxpayers, who have not disclosed their true financial state of affairs in the discharge of their tax obligations.

Seizure implies taking possession of assets, which have not been disclosed to the Income-tax Department and of accounts/documents, papers that contain details of unaccounted wealth/income not disclosed to the income tax authorities.

Thus, search and seizure is a very powerful weapon in the armory of the income tax department to unearth any concealed income or valuables and to check the tendencies of tax evasion thereby mitigating the generation of black money.
