Income Tax Law
Overview
Legal and advisory assistance in matters arising under income tax law, including assistance relating to notices, assessments, disputes and related proceedings.
Communications received from the tax authorities differ in nature and in the response they call for. The first step is ordinarily to identify the provision under which the communication has been issued, the information sought and the period within which a reply is required.
Where a matter proceeds beyond the assessment stage, assistance is provided in relation to the remedies available under the statute and the forum before which those remedies lie.
