Litigation:
Indirect tax laws have always been complex and subject matter of interpretation/ litigation. Due to this, industries generally receive Show Cause Notices, requiring them to explain the rational for following a particular interpretation or claiming some tax benefits. This, sometimes, culminates into a long-drawn litigation. Further, it is always advisable to obtain certain clarifications from tax offices on specified issue if there is a mechanism in place. We, at RSA, assist our clients in better handling of such matters. We represent our clients before the following adjudicating Authorities:

Health Check- up:
Indirect tax laws are subject to frequent changes and amendments. At times, it is difficult to track these changes and ensure timely implementation. It is a good practice to undertake a regular health check or review (annual or half yearly) by Companies to ensure that no changes or amendments having significant impact are missed altogether. We, at RSA conduct audit for our clients from the perspective of Indirect Taxation. An Indirect Tax Diagnostic Review or Health Check is a complete package offered to our clients that helps in examining applicability of indirect taxes, eligibility of tax credits and export benefits (as applicable), reviewing statutory returns/ records and documentation, evaluating tax optimization opportunities, identifying areas of potential tax exposure and inefficiencies, and giving a detailed exception report outlining observations.
