Tax
When a tax dispute arises, expert representation can be the difference between a costly assessment and a fair outcome. FM Consulting International advises and represents taxpayers in disputes with the revenue authorities, from drafting valid appeals to appearing before the appellate forums. Our work is grounded in the Income Tax Ordinance 1984 and the Income Tax Rules, and aimed always at resolving your matter efficiently and on the strongest possible footing.
We handle the full range of contested orders, including those concerning assessment of income, computation of tax liability, carry-forward of losses, penalties, interest, surcharges, tax credits and refunds. Where the facts and law support it, we prepare and lodge valid appeals on your behalf in compliance with the Income Tax Ordinance and Rules, present the evidence, and argue your case at hearing.
Our representation spans every tier of the dispute process — from the Tax Recovery Officer and the appellate authorities through to the Taxes Appellate Tribunal and, where necessary, the High Court Division of the Supreme Court. Where a negotiated outcome is preferable, we facilitate Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to settle matters more quickly and at lower cost. Throughout, our tax experts advise you candidly on the merits and strategy of your case.
Tax appeals are strictly time-bound, and a missed deadline can forfeit your right to be heard. We act promptly to protect your position: appeals to the Tax Recovery Officer within 30 days, to the appellate Deputy or Additional Joint Commissioner of Taxes within 45 days, to the Taxes Appellate Tribunal within 60 days, and to the Supreme Court within 90 days.
