Income Tax Notices

We support the review of income tax notices, identification of the information requested and preparation of relevant records and responses within the agreed scope. Related compliance matters can also be supported through Income Tax Advisory & Compliance.

GST Notices

GST notices can involve return discrepancies, input tax credit, classification, tax liability, refunds or other compliance matters. We assist with notice review, documentation and response preparation, with related requirements coordinated through GST Advisory & Compliance.

Assessment Proceedings

Assessment proceedings may require financial information, reconciliations, explanations and supporting records. We help organise the information required for the matter and coordinate professional inputs based on the nature and stage of the proceeding.

Scrutiny & Compliance Proceedings

Where a return, transaction or compliance position is selected for scrutiny or further review, we support the preparation of factual explanations, supporting documentation and structured submissions based on the information made available.

Drafting of Responses & Submissions

We assist with drafting responses and submissions that organise the relevant facts, records and tax position in a clear manner. Where formal legal interpretation or specialist representation is required, the appropriate qualified professional is coordinated.

Representation Before Tax Authorities

We provide preparation and coordination support for matters before tax authorities. Representation that legally requires a specifically qualified, registered or authorised professional is undertaken by the appropriately authorised professional.

Rectification & Related Proceedings

Where an apparent error or mismatch requires rectification or a related procedural response, we support review of the available records, preparation of the relevant documentation and coordination of the matter within the applicable professional scope.

Tax Demand Review

A tax demand should be reviewed against the underlying order, computation, available records and applicable facts. We support this review and help identify the documentation or professional action that may be required.

Appeal & Litigation Support

Where a matter progresses to appeal or litigation, we support document organisation, factual analysis, working papers and professional coordination. Formal appearance, advocacy or representation before courts, tribunals or authorities is undertaken by appropriately qualified and authorised counsel or professionals where required.

Tax Dispute Advisory

Tax disputes can involve financial, documentary, procedural and legal considerations. We assist clients in organising the matter, understanding the available records and coordinating specialist professional support based on the issue involved.

Respond Early, Document Clearly

Timely attention to tax notices and assessment communications can be important. Maintaining organised records, reconciliations and supporting documentation can make it easier to understand the issue and prepare a structured response.

LegaFin provides tax advisory, documentation preparation, response support and professional coordination based on the agreed scope and information made available.
