Tax laws have intersections across multiple areas of laws, and that is what makes the practice of taxation interesting. World over, the tax paradigm is fast changing and evolving, and taxation laws in India are no exception. It is fascinating to work closely on these emerging tax issues, while at the same time finding holistic solutions to client issues in a collaborative and meaningful manner.
