How to Get Good Lawyers for Tax Departments

Todays DDT carry very important reports like digital signature on invoices Good lawyers for dept etc As regards good lawyers it is suggested that the large number of retired persons from dept in recent past few years many are now practising as lawyers Undoubtedly the dept can tap their expertise in dept to defend the dept Surely their services will be of immense help and all these retd persons irrespective of Ranks also will get a chance to serve the dept in a different role in the Courts
Another aspect is on the digitally signed invoices Recently it was noticed that the Kerala VAT dept has developed a wonderful and user friendly software to get all invoices uploaded with the TIN nos of both sellers and buyers and the system will verify against all credit taken instantly The discripancy will be noted by the system and dept can take action against wrong credit taken Perhaps this may be the unique software of the type in the entire states in India
It is high time that CBEC also will follow such a software for CENVAT verification considering the increased frauds with Cenvat credit Presently there is no cenvat credit verification with reference to invoices either in system or physical verification since the details of invoices are not uploaded in the ACES Hope the CBEC will look into both above points
