Services

Strong legal representation at every level of Pakistan's tax appellate system.

When a tax authority issues an unfair order, you have the right to fight it, and S&S Associates has the legal expertise to fight it effectively. With qualifications spanning finance, law, and taxation, and over 30 years of litigation experience, we represent clients at every appellate forum in Pakistan, from the Commissioner’s office all the way to the Supreme Court.

Commissioner (Appeals) — Inland Revenue

When an Inland Revenue authority passes an order against you, the first line of defence is an appeal before the Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals). We prepare, file, and argue your case with full legal precision to achieve the best possible outcome at this critical first stage.

Supreme Court Appeals

For cases of significant legal importance where the High Court’s decision needs to be challenged, we represent clients before the Supreme Court of Pakistan, providing the highest level of legal advocacy available in the country’s tax appellate system.

Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR)

If the Commissioner (Appeals) does not rule in your favour, we take your case to the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue, an independent judicial forum with the authority to overturn departmental orders. We build a compelling case backed by law and precedent.

Federal Tax Ombudsman (FTO) Complaints

When tax authorities engage in malpractice, maladministration, or procedural misconduct, taxpayers have the right to seek justice through the Federal Tax Ombudsman. We identify valid grounds and file formal complaints on your behalf to hold authorities accountable.

High Court Reference Applications

Where an ATIR order involves a question of law, we file a reference application before the relevant High Court. Our founder’s LLB qualification and deep knowledge of tax jurisprudence allow us to frame and argue legal questions with accuracy and authority.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

For eligible disputes involving tax liability or the admissibility of a refund, ADR offers a faster, less adversarial route to resolution. We guide you through the entire ADR process, preparing your application, presenting your case, and negotiating a fair settlement.
