Objecting to a Draft Order, Before It Becomes Final.
Advisory on filing objections before the Dispute Resolution Panel against a draft assessment order containing a transfer pricing adjustment.
Book Free ConsultationWhere a draft assessment order proposes a transfer pricing adjustment, the taxpayer has the option to approach the Dispute Resolution Panel instead of accepting the draft order or waiting for the final assessment.
At N D Savla & Associates, we advise on whether the DRP route is preferable to a direct appeal, prepare the objections and supporting documentation, and represent clients at the hearings before the Panel.
Because DRP proceedings operate on a defined timeline, we track filing deadlines closely and prepare the objections well in advance of the statutory window closing.
