Transfer Pricing Appeals in Nashik | CIT(A) & ITAT Representation | N D Savla & Associates
Transfer Pricing Appeals · Nashik, Maharashtra

A Transfer Pricing Order Is Not the Final Word.

Representation in appeals against transfer pricing adjustments before the Commissioner (Appeals), the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal and higher forums.

Book Free Consultation

A transfer pricing addition confirmed at the assessment stage can still be contested on facts, on the benchmarking approach adopted, or on the legal interpretation applied by the Transfer Pricing Officer.

At N D Savla & Associates, we advise on the merits of an appeal, prepare the grounds and supporting submissions, and represent clients before the CIT(Appeals), the ITAT and, where required, coordinate with counsel for High Court proceedings.

Our approach draws on comparable case law, prior years' outcomes for the same taxpayer, and a fresh review of the benchmarking to identify where an adjustment can genuinely be reduced or reversed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, a transfer pricing addition confirmed in the assessment order can be appealed before the Commissioner (Appeals) or, where the assessee has opted for it, challenged through the Dispute Resolution Panel route instead.
An appeal to the Commissioner (Appeals) is generally required to be filed within 30 days of receipt of the assessment order, though a delay can be condoned for sufficient cause.
A stay of demand can be applied for before the tax authority or the appellate forum, and is generally considered based on the merits of the appeal and the taxpayer's compliance history.
If the ITAT rules in the taxpayer's favour, the transfer pricing addition is set aside or reduced, though the department retains the right to further appeal to the High Court on a question of law.
Additional evidence can be admitted before the appellate authority in limited circumstances, generally where it was not available or could not have been produced during the original assessment.
An appellate ruling on a transfer pricing issue can influence the position taken in other years involving the same or similar transactions, though each year is assessed on its own facts.
