Description
Provisional tax is one of the easiest ways for a practitioner to trigger penalties without realising it. Estimates made too low can attract penalties under Section 67. Estimates made too high create client frustration and cash flow pressure. ITC 1861 highlights the thin line between a reasonable estimate and a negligent one. Many practitioners rely on rough calculations or incomplete client information. That approach creates exposure when NamRa reviews the estimate. This event focuses on the real judgement calls practitioners make during provisional tax season. It explains how estimates are evaluated, what documentation protects your position, and how to submit effective relief requests through ITAS when a penalty has already been imposed.
