Tax Titbits

Abstract

Taxpayers have often more grievances in respect of many procedural matters with the Income Tax Department. There is a remedy available in Ombudsman, which can be more expeditious and effective and still not popular, though the Income Tax Department did once advertise in 2010 under an attractive title "Carrying tax worries? Get back your smiles… Meet Income Tax Ombudsman". It is an invitation to the taxpayers to address their grievances to Ombudsman for a solution. It is a remedy which needs to be more popular.
