Tax is rarely just about filing returns. It shapes how you structure your business, receive income, raise invoices, manage transactions, plan investments, and respond to tax notices. Every decision can carry legal and financial consequences.
Tax touches almost every significant decision — starting a business, raising investment, selling property, importing or exporting goods, or responding to a notice. PROFESH advises on Income Tax, GST, Customs, and related matters, looking beyond the immediate tax question to the transaction or structure behind it.
What this covers:
Income Tax
Compliance and return-related matters · capital gains and business income treatment · tax notices, assessments, and reassessments · appeals and tax disputes
GST
Registration and classification · input tax credit matters · returns, audits, and assessments · GST notices and appeals
Customs & Trade
Customs duty assessment and classification · import-export documentation and valuation disputes · customs notices and show-cause proceedings · appeals before the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT)
Tax Through the Business Lifecycle
Structuring at formation · ongoing compliance while operating · tax considerations when expanding, restructuring, or exiting (share and asset sales)
Transaction, Property & Cross-Border Tax
Tax implications of investments, M&A, and corporate restructuring · capital gains and tax on property transactions · cross-border payments, foreign investment, and double-taxation considerations
Governing framework:
Income Tax Act 1961, CGST/SGST/IGST Acts, Customs Act 1962, Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, GST Appellate Tribunal, and CESTAT procedure
Tax Notices, Audits & Disputes:
A notice, scrutiny assessment, audit, or customs valuation dispute rarely resolves by waiting. We respond to income tax, GST, and customs notices, represent clients through assessment, reassessment, and audit proceedings, and handle appeals before tax authorities and appellate tribunals — covering disputes over classification, input tax credit, deductions, exemptions, valuation, and tax liability.
When should you speak to a Tax Lawyer?
You may need one when you are: starting or restructuring a business · raising or making an investment · buying or selling property, shares, or business assets · importing or exporting goods and facing a customs valuation or classification dispute · receiving an income tax, GST, or customs notice · facing an assessment, audit, or tax demand · considering an appeal · entering a cross-border transaction. Early advice often identifies tax consequences before a transaction completes or a dispute develops.
