Income Tax Appeals & Litigation Support
When an income tax assessment order is unfavorable, taxpayers have the legal right to challenge it by filing an Income Tax Appeal. At VPS and Associates, we assist individuals, businesses, and corporate entities in filing appeals against unjustified tax demands, penalties, and other disputes before the appropriate authorities.
Our experts ensure error-free appeal drafting, representation before tax tribunals, and strategic litigation support, helping clients get the best possible tax relief.
