CREDIT MAPPING & OPTIMISATION
In terms of the indirect tax provisions (service tax, VAT and excise) a
manufacturer or service provider is eligible to claim input tax credit of tax
paid on goods and services. The said credit can be utilized for payment of
indirect tax liability. Thus the input tax credit is akin to cash on hand
which can be used for making tax payments. It is essential that a
manufacturer or service provider avails all the eligible input tax credit in
terms of the applicable input tax credit provisions and optimizes the same.
• Credit mapping and optimisation cover the following:
• Identifying expenses on which tax is paid.
• Evaluate expenses on which input tax credit has not been availed.
• Evaluate the eligibility in terms of applicable input tax credit
provisions.
• Put a system in place to ensure optimum input tax credit availment.

STRUCTURING & PLANNING
Setting up a new business or expanding an existing one attracts various
indirect taxes. It is observed that indirect tax planning is generally done
post execution of the arrangement; thus leading to loss of indirect tax
benefits or credit, higher payment of taxes, inefficient indirect tax
structure. Therefore it is essential that the transaction is evaluated,
structured and planned specifically considering the indirect tax impact:-
• Structuring & Planning would broadly cover the following:
• indirect tax analysis on proposed transactions.
• Tax neutralization / optimisation advice.
• Agreement review/ drafting.
• Advice on setting up business in tax efficient manner.
• Identify mechanics to optimize tax credits and reduce cascading of
taxes.

MULTI STATE VAT
• VAT / Sales tax in India is a state level tax
• Difficult for a business man to learn and keep track of all statues
applicable under different states
• Continuous amendments in the state laws make it very difficult
for multi locational companies to comply within time bound
manner with optimum utilizations of available benefits.
• We have dedicated team of experts and proper infrastructure
facilities to provide one stop solutions to comply with VAT law
across the country. It obviates need to appoint consultant
separately for each of the states. It would reduce communication
gap, provide expert hand and save time & cost with optimum
