What is a Tax Notice?

A tax notice is an official communication from the Income Tax Department or other tax authorities that informs you about discrepancies or issues found in your tax returns. This could be due to unpaid taxes, incorrect information, or discrepancies between the income reported and the details in official records such as Form 26AS or TDS statements. Receiving a tax notice can be intimidating, but with expert assistance, you can respond effectively and resolve any issues promptly.

Common Reasons for Receiving a Tax Notice

There are several reasons why a business or individual may receive a tax notice, including:

• Incorrect Filing: Errors in your income tax returns, such as incorrect details of income, deductions, or exemptions.
• Mismatches: Discrepancies between the income reported in your tax return and the income reflected in Form 26AS or your TDS certificates.
• Delayed Tax Payment: Non-payment or late payment of taxes such as advance tax, self-assessment tax, or TDS.
• Non-Reporting of Income: Failure to report certain types of income such as interest, rental income, or capital gains.
• Random Scrutiny: Some tax returns may be selected for random scrutiny by the tax department for further review.
• Excessive Deductions: Claiming deductions that the tax authorities find to be excessive or unsupported by documentation.
• Inaccurate Information: Incorrect personal or business information entered in the tax return, such as PAN, TAN, or address details.

Types of Tax Notices

Different types of tax notices may be issued depending on the issue at hand:

• Section 143(1): Intimation of any tax due or refund after the initial processing of your tax return.
• Section 143(2): Notice for detailed scrutiny, asking for additional documents to verify the information filed in the tax return.
• Section 139(9): Defective return notice, indicating that your return is incomplete or contains errors.
• Section 156: Demand notice, requesting payment for any tax, interest, or penalty due.
