Indirect taxation is a niche subject, which requires concurrent\u00a0knowledge and information, as the statutes provide ample power to the Government to administer the provisions through various enabling provisions and procedures by issuing rules, regulations, notifications, tariff advise, trade notices, circulars and other administrative guidelines and manuals.<\/p>

Our Firm has a robust practice in indirect taxation pursued by dedicated professionals who are adept in handling various aspects of indirect tax. The practice includes GST, foreign trade policy and procedures and other allied legislations. We also advise on anti-dumping matters. We have a vast experience,\u00a0having executed work in matters of classification, valuation, taxability of goods and services and compliance.<\/p>

Our advisory work includes providing opinions, tax planning and\u00a0conducting workshops on legislative changes amongst other things. We regularly represent major corporates including several multinational companies in various fora\u00a0which includes advising clients at the departmental level as well as before the Hon\u2019ble Supreme Court.<\/p>

Our experience spreads over the entire spectrum of industries, which includes food and beverages, petroleum, cosmetics, pharma, plastic, textiles, metal, machineries, automobiles and optical instruments.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
