The Income Tax Litigation Process in India

Income tax litigation is a legal process in India that arises when taxpayers dispute the tax liability assessed by the income tax department. Income tax litigation can be time-consuming and costly for taxpayers. In recent years, the complexity of the Indian income tax laws and the increased focus on tax compliance has led to an increase in the number of income tax litigation cases in India. In this article, we will discuss the income tax litigation process in India and the services offered by SV Associates for income tax litigation.

The income tax litigation process in India starts with the assessment of tax liability by the income tax department. The income tax department examines the tax returns filed by taxpayers and assesses the amount of tax that should be paid by the taxpayer. If the taxpayer disagrees with the assessment of tax liability, they can file an appeal with the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals).

If the taxpayer is not satisfied with the decision of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), they can further appeal to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT). The ITAT is a quasi-judicial body that hears appeals against the orders of the income tax department. The ITAT is empowered to hear appeals from both taxpayers and the income tax department.
