Efficient, effective work quality on tax demand notices & appeals and processing of refunds or pre notice hearings. As my workflow is driven by technology powered by uptodate case law databases,  I often improve appeals/legal responses /petitions with rank ordered arguments/grounds, or draft one from scratch with clinching case laws. A recent survey of tax appeals showed very few have rank ordered arguments backed up by case laws supporting circumstances of how the demand dispute has been settled earlier in the same scenario. Often clinching arguments are missed or not elaborated. I agree few areas have been adjudicated very few times leading to fewer case laws to support. That drives us towards the base elements of justice principles & constitutional interpretation supported by act/rule/notification interpretation backed up with legislative intent. This is just where my strength lies. Such review or building up an appeal from scratch is also useful in evaluating alternative responses to decide upon the best approach to a tax demand. I also attend hearings in the Mumbai Metro Areas.
