Income Tax &
International Taxation
Strategic direct tax advisory, litigation support, and international tax planning — by partners with 40+ years of combined experience and Big 4 backgrounds.
Income Tax & International Taxation
Income tax compliance in India has grown significantly more complex over the past decade — with faceless assessments, increased transfer pricing scrutiny, evolving DTAA interpretations, and a more litigious regulatory environment. Navigating this landscape requires not just technical knowledge but experienced judgement developed over years of real-world practice.
Our direct tax practice is led by Suresh Vij (Founder, 40+ years) and Saurabh Goel (FCA, PwC alumni) — a formidable combination of vintage expertise and modern advisory skill. Together, they manage the firm's most complex tax matters with precision, strategic thinking, and a deep respect for regulatory boundaries.
We believe sound tax planning is never about aggressive avoidance — it is about understanding the law thoroughly enough to structure every transaction in the most tax-efficient manner permissible, and defending those positions robustly when challenged by the department.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Detailed answers to questions commonly asked by clients and prospects about our income tax & international taxation services.
The Income Tax Department moved to a faceless assessment regime where cases are assigned to units in different cities — all communications happen through the e-proceedings portal. We handle all faceless assessment responses — preparing detailed written submissions, attaching supporting evidence, and ensuring every query is addressed comprehensively within the given timeline.
Transfer pricing documentation (Local File) is mandatory if the aggregate value of international transactions with associated enterprises exceeds ₹1 crore in a financial year. A Master File is additionally required if the consolidated group revenue exceeds ₹500 crore and Indian entity's transactions exceed ₹50 crore. We prepare complete, audit-ready TP documentation for all applicable clients.
Yes. You have the right to appeal an assessment order to CIT(A) within 30 days. If unsatisfied with the CIT(A) order, you can appeal to ITAT within 60 days. ITAT orders can be challenged at the High Court on questions of law. We handle all stages of this appellate process with experienced representation.
Legitimate tax planning involves: claiming all available deductions, optimising depreciation, timing income recognition and expenditure, structuring salary vs. perquisites effectively, utilising SEZ/startup exemptions, and ensuring all eligible business expenses are properly documented. We proactively identify these opportunities during our annual tax review.
An APA is an agreement between a taxpayer and CBDT that determines the arm's length price for related party transactions in advance — providing certainty for a fixed period. This is particularly beneficial for MNCs with recurring high-value international transactions. We assist with both unilateral and bilateral APA applications from initiation to signing.
