The users of this book will see that this book has details of:
- What the department may ask the taxpayer to provide in the letter to the taxpayer
- What type of desk review that is possible and could have been done
- The evaluation of internal controls and their grading by the officers
- All the points that may be looked into by the officers during the audit
- Samples of walk through
- Taxpayers can do the trend analysis to check areas which may be taken up for scrutiny
- Returns under other statutes, internal audit reports and requirements of accounting standards which are required to be fulfilled by the taxpayers
- Some of the cases that have been decided by the appellate authority for advance ruling (Decisions from courts would come in future)
- Common errors that may have to be kept in mind
- Some areas of Customs which the auditors may look since IGST paid during imports and refund of IGST in exports are areas which they have to verify and while doing so areas which have a bearing on this aspect cannot be ignored.
- How to read and understand annual reports.
The Book aims to be a useful guide to the taxpayers and professionals engaged in consultancy, advisory, litigation and giving opinions in the field of indirect taxation. The taxpayers without professional assistance could use the book to prepare for departmental audit and deficiencies, if any, in their record-keeping, can be made good.
