Income Tax Return Filing

Do companies pay Income Tax? Well, the answer is yes, but it is called Corporate tax and not Income Tax. Now, with terminology clarity out of the way, filing corporate tax returns is no cakewalk. I mean, there is a reason why tax attorneys are the richest kinds of lawyers, right? Claiming extra tax, bifurcation of income as per the sources, categorising assets as long term and short term, keeping up with filings’ deadlines, ensuring the proper disclosure and fair reporting of income, annexing proofs and whatnot.

 

It can be a lot of hassle and a single, unintentional miscalculation might be penalised with heavy penalties and in some cases, even prosecution. Thus, it is better to seek assistance from experienced professionals from the very outset of the process. Below, I have answered some common queries in a precise manner to give you a sneak-peak on how we serve our clients and what we bring on the table for our potential clients.
