TAX LITIGATION

 

Our team of experienced tax lawyers at Global Law Company specializes in handling tax appeals and litigation cases in Pakistan. We understand the complexities and challenges that taxpayers face when disputes arise with the tax departments regarding their taxable income, tax liability, default surcharge, and penalties.

 

In most cases, we strive to settle the disputes at the Deputy/Assistant Commissioner Inland Revenue/ Commissioner level in order to save our clients time and problems during the compliance stage. However, in situations where disagreements persist over facts, figures, and legal implications, the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 provides a legal procedure for taxpayers to appeal before the Commissioner (Appeal), and if unsatisfied, before the Appellate Tribunal and Higher Courts in Pakistan.

 

There are various circumstances under which tax appeals can be filed. One such circumstance is when a best judgment assessment (ex-parte assessment) is issued by the DCIR/Commissioner based on available information and facts. If a taxpayer believes that the changes made to their self-assessment or alterations to an already changed assessment are incorrect and detrimental to the tax department, they have the right to file an appeal.

 

Similarly, if the taxpayer’s self-assessment is altered and further changes are made to an already altered assessment, the Commissioner may determine that the income chargeable to tax has been wrongly assessed or that the head of income has been classified incorrectly to decrease the tax liability. In such cases, taxpayers can file an appeal to challenge the amended assessment.

 

If the appellant disagrees with the decision of the Commissioner (Appeals) or believes that the amended assessment by the Commissioner (Appeals) is incorrect, they have the right to take the matter to the next appellate forum, which is the Appellate Tribunal. The Appellate Tribunal is the final fact-finding authority under the Ministry of Law, meaning that income tax proceedings cannot proceed beyond the Appellate Tribunal.

 

In cases where the appellant believes there are significant legal points involved, the matter can be further escalated to the High Court. Our team of tax lawyers is well-equipped to handle all aspects of the appeal process, including drafting appeals and submissions, representing our clients before the commissioner, Appellate Tribunal, High Courts, and even the Supreme Court of Pakistan, if necessary.

 

At Global Law Company, we understand the intricacies of tax appeals and litigation and provide comprehensive assistance to our clients throughout the process. Our team of experts is dedicated to providing effective legal representation and achieving favorable outcomes for our clients in their tax dispute matters.
