Income Tax & International Taxation
Strategic direct tax planning, litigation support, and international tax advisory — by partners with 40+ years of combined experience and PwC backgrounds.
Income Tax & International Taxation
Income tax compliance in India has grown significantly more complex — faceless assessments, increasing transfer pricing scrutiny, evolving DTAA interpretations, and a more litigious regulatory environment. Navigating this landscape requires experienced judgement, not just technical knowledge.

Our Step-By-Step Process
Comprehensive review of the client's existing tax profile — past returns, pending assessments, TDS records — identifying areas of risk or missed opportunity before they escalate.
Designing a tax-efficient structure — optimising deductions, timing, and form of income — within the bounds of applicable law, judicial precedent, and CBDT guidelines.
Accurate preparation and timely filing of all returns, certifications, and disclosures — ensuring zero penalties and complete compliance across all direct tax obligations.
When scrutiny notices or demands arise, we prepare detailed submissions, compile evidence, and represent the client before all levels of tax authorities and appellate tribunals.
Our Key Differentiators
Our partners have appeared before ITAT benches across Delhi and High Courts. When disputes arise, you are represented by the same team that advised you — never outsourced to unknown counsel.
We review every significant transaction before it occurs. Identifying tax implications upfront prevents positions that attract future scrutiny, saving far more than our advisory fee.
Our international tax practice covers DTAA interpretation, PE exposure, royalty withholding, and repatriation structuring for Indian companies expanding abroad and MNCs investing in India.
15+ years in direct taxation. Deep expertise in income tax litigation before ITAT and High Courts, transfer pricing documentation, and corporate tax advisory for MNCs and large Indian groups.
Frequently Asked Questions
Under the faceless assessment regime, cases are assigned to assessment units in different cities — all communication happens through the e-proceedings portal with no physical interface. We handle all faceless assessment responses — preparing detailed written submissions, attaching supporting evidence, and ensuring every query is addressed within the prescribed timeline.
Transfer pricing documentation (Local File) is mandatory when aggregate international transactions with associated enterprises exceed ₹1 crore in a financial year. A Master File is additionally required if consolidated group revenue exceeds ₹500 crore and Indian entity transactions exceed ₹50 crore. We prepare complete, audit-ready TP documentation for all applicable clients well before the due date.
Yes. You can appeal an assessment order to CIT(A) within 30 days. If unsatisfied, appeal to ITAT within 60 days. ITAT orders can be challenged at the High Court on questions of law. We handle all stages — from initial notice response through to High Court representation — with the same team throughout.
Legitimate tax planning includes: claiming all available deductions, optimising depreciation, timing of income recognition, structuring salary vs perquisites, utilising SEZ/startup exemptions, and documenting all eligible business expenses correctly. We proactively identify these opportunities during our annual tax planning review.
An APA is an agreement between a taxpayer and CBDT determining the arm's length price for related-party transactions in advance — providing certainty for a fixed period. Particularly beneficial for MNCs with recurring high-value international transactions. We assist with both unilateral and bilateral APA applications.
