Incometaxinfo.com, a premier vortal exclusively dedicated to income tax, is the first of its kind that is totally focussed on income tax thereby providing the Indian taxpayers with complete and indepth information on different aspects of the subjects.
The site was conceived by a group of legal luminaries to provide information on different facets of the subject in India. The site will be regularly updated and looked after by a dedicated team led by Narayan Jain, who has co-authored `How to handle income tax problems' (now in its 9th edition) and `Practical Guide to VDIS - 1997' along with his co-author, Dilip Loyalka.
SC Mishra, Former Director General, Income Tax Department, who heads the panel of experts, will guide the site. The other members of the expert panel are all eminent professionals.
Speaking at the launch of incometaxinfo.com, SC Mishra, Chairman, Expert Panel said, "Income tax law is perceived to be complex.
