Income Tax Appeal before Commissioner Appeal Consultants

Overview

In general, ‘Appeal’ means ‘making a request’ and in legal terms, it means ‘apply to a higher court for a reversal of the decision of a lower court’. A taxpayer computes the tax payable on his total income and pays to the government. If the Income Tax department (the government) disagrees with the tax computed by the taxpayer, they can levy an additional tax. Under Income Tax Act, the liability is determined at the level of Assessing Officer (it can be Income Tax Officer (ITO) or Assistant/Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax). A Taxpayer aggrieved by actions of Assessing Officer (say higher tax demand) can appeal before Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals). Further appeal can be preferred before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. On the substantial question of law, a further appeal can be filed before the High Court and even to the Supreme Court.
