Taxation Law

Defending Your Tax Position. Before Every Authority and Every Court.

Tax disputes — whether arising from income tax assessments, GST demands, or customs proceedings — can have severe financial consequences if not handled with precision and expertise. At Chopra and Associates, we represent assessees, businesses, and individuals before Tax Authorities, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), High Courts, and the Hon'ble Supreme Court.

We represent assessees, businesses, and individuals before tax authorities, Appellate Tribunals, High Courts, and the Hon'ble Supreme Court in direct and indirect tax matters.

From income tax and GST disputes to customs proceedings, transfer pricing, and tax litigation at the highest courts, we defend your tax position before every authority and every court.

Our Work

What We Do

Income Tax Disputes

We represent assessees at all stages of income tax litigation — from responding to notices and assessments before the Assessing Officer, through appeals before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) (CIT(A)), and before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT). We file and argue income tax appeals before the High Court and the Hon'ble Supreme Court on substantial questions of law.

GST Disputes

We advise and represent businesses in GST matters — responding to show-cause notices, appearing before GST Adjudicating Authorities, and filing appeals before GST Appellate Authorities and the GST Appellate Tribunal. We also provide compliance advisory on Input Tax Credit (ITC) claims, reverse charge mechanism, and inter-state supply issues.

Customs and Excise

We represent importers, exporters, and manufacturers in customs and excise disputes before Adjudicating Authorities, the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT), and the High Courts.

Tax Litigation at High Court and Hon'ble Supreme Court

We file and argue writ petitions challenging arbitrary tax demands, unreasoned assessment orders, and violations of natural justice in tax proceedings — before the Hon'ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana and the Hon'ble Supreme Court.

Transfer Pricing and International Taxation

We advise businesses and multinational enterprises on transfer pricing documentation, compliance, and disputes — and represent them before the Transfer Pricing Officer, Dispute Resolution Panel (DRP), and ITAT.

Tax Advisory

We provide advisory on income tax planning for individuals, businesses, and HUFs — including guidance on capital gains, residential status, exempt income, and deductions available under the Income Tax Act, 1961.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my matter requires a lawyer?

If your matter involves a court proceeding, a government notice, a police complaint, a contract dispute, a property claim, or any situation where your rights or obligations are in question, you should consult a lawyer. Many legal problems become significantly more difficult to resolve the longer they are left unaddressed. We offer an initial consultation to help you understand your position and options clearly.

Will a senior advocate personally handle my case?

Yes. At Chopra and Associates, our senior advocates are personally involved in every matter we accept — from the initial advice through drafting, preparation, and court appearances. We do not pass matters to junior staff without supervision. You will always know who is handling your case and will have direct access to them.

How long will my case take?

Timelines in Indian litigation vary considerably depending on the court, the nature of the matter, and how the other side conducts itself. We give you a realistic assessment of the likely timeline at the outset — based on the specific court, the current workload of the relevant bench, and the procedural steps involved. We do not make unrealistic promises about timeframes.

What should I bring to my first consultation?

Bring all documents relating to your matter — FIR copies, court orders, contracts, property documents, correspondence, legal notices, and any government communications. Even if you are unsure whether a document is relevant, bring it. The more information we have at the first meeting, the more precise our initial advice will be.

Do you take cases on an urgent basis?

Yes. We understand that many legal matters — particularly bail applications, injunctions, writ petitions involving illegal detention, and bank account freezing matters — are time-critical. We are equipped to respond urgently, draft applications on short notice, and seek urgent listing before the appropriate court.

Do you handle matters for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs)?

Yes. We regularly advise and represent NRI clients in property disputes, matrimonial matters, succession and inheritance claims, and other litigation involving Indian courts and law. We ensure that distance does not compromise the quality of representation or the regularity of communication.
