Roadmap for Reducing Litigation in Indirect Taxes

It is a well-articulated & thought provoking article on the real problems and doable solutions for the same. The author’s sincere inclination to reduce the litigation and his vast experience in the tax field is reflected in the same. Basically this will be a reality if the concerned, holding the real authority identify, accept and correct the machinery, without any pro-revenue element in the process. Whenever there are instances of unscrupulous tax payers taking disadvantage of any loop holes in the legislation, then the authorities do step in to plug the loop hole. Similarly, even if a correction, which may be pro-industry, is required to correct any wrong interpretation by the authorities / appeal late machinery, then the concerned authorities should be magnanimous enough to bring those changes as well. This will evolve a trust and mutual respect between the tax authorities and the tax payers.
