Corporate Tax *******

Reported on February 7, 2012 from Chennai , Tamil Nadu  ι Report #2876

I own a business in Chennai. The annual refund for last year was 1 cr (I had to invest every single rupee back into the business to sustain it) but to secure the refund, I had to commit 10% or 10 Lakhs. I go through an accountant who has "contacts" with the IT department. The entire process is a blackbox & I have no idea, with whom the accountant is communicating in the IT dept. I wish I could deal directly with the IT department & not go through these steps to secure my tax refund. Even though, my taxes are applied online, the IT department will process my refunds only after securing the bribe amount.

What is your reaction after reading this report?
