Taxation

Income and sales tax, from return and assessment through audit, the tribunal and a reference to the High Court, and the limits the statute places on coercive recovery.

Areas of work

Returns, assessments, disputes and appeals.

Income tax disputes begin with a return and an assessment, and are decided on what the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 permits the assessing officer to do. Appeals move from the first authority to the tribunal and, on points of law, to the High Court. Each stage has its own limits and its own record.
