ELEVENTH Edition Based on Finance Act, 2021
Every person, who has anything to do with tax laws, whether as a taxpayer, tax advisor, tax executive, auditor or tax lawyer, has to plan tax conduct. On one hand, he has to ward off no-win areas, whether it be by adherence to various time limits for tax compliance or obligations relating to tax deduction at source, compulsory maintenance of accounts, etc., so as to avoid pitfalls and not get trapped by involuntary non-compliance of duties enjoined by voluntary compliance as part of procedural law. On the other hand, the tax laws with constant stream of amendments, some retrospective or even retroactive, ever-flowing precedents from the courts, both binding and not-binding, and circulars, benevolent or otherwise, offer both challenge and opportunity in substantive law. It is in this maze of confusion one may find some shelter in tax incentives, deductions and rebates as well as in choice of accounting methods, valuation of stock or Accounting Standards.
This book, by gathering all relevant material in plain and easily understandable language, is intended to help save tax. The authors have endeavoured to explain the entire law in a simple and easy to understand language with the help of up-to-date case-law on relevant topics.
