The chamber undertakes matters where specialised appellate strategy and experienced representation make a material difference to the outcome.
Focused Practice: Shah Paresh & Associates undertakes only Income-tax and State tax (now GST) litigation, appellate proceedings and tax controversy matters. The chamber does not undertake audit, accounting, general advisory or compliance work. This focused approach ensures that the Principal's full expertise and attention is directed entirely at contentious tax matters.
Assessment, reassessment and related proceedings before income-tax authorities. Representation in appellate proceedings before the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) and the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.

Matters include adjudication proceedings, show-cause notices, appellate proceedings, input tax credit disputes, classification issues, refund matters and disputes arising from investigation and enforcement actions.
