Tax Consultant
Your morning begins reviewing 20 client tax returns in your CA / CPA firm's queue — scrutinising a high-net-worth individual's capital gains from ESOP exercise, ensuring proper reporting under the new tax regime. Afternoons involve attending a GST audit hearing before the state GST authorities on behalf of a manufacturing client disputing an ITC reversal demand, and advising a startup's founders on ESOP structuring and potential tax optimisation before a Series B funding round.
