Reviewing the tax implications of new locations, revenue streams and business activities helps companies identify applicable requirements, maintain appropriate records and plan compliance activities.

The company should examine the issues raised by the Income Tax Department, reconcile relevant financial and tax records, and prepare supporting explanations. Responding within prescribed deadlines and maintaining proper documentation are important when addressing scrutiny proceedings.

Incorrect GST classification, invoicing, input tax credit claims or return reporting may result in additional tax liabilities, interest, penalties or compliance notices, depending on the circumstances. Regular reconciliation of GST records with accounting information can help businesses identify discrepancies and address them promptly.
