Document background
A Tax Consulting Engagement Letter is essential when establishing a professional relationship for tax advisory services in India. This document is typically used when a business or individual engages a tax consultant or firm for services such as tax planning, compliance, advisory, or dispute resolution. The letter, governed by Indian legislation including the Chartered Accountants Act and ICAI guidelines, details the scope of work, deliverables, fees, and professional terms. It protects both parties by clearly defining expectations, responsibilities, and limitations while ensuring compliance with Indian regulatory requirements. The engagement letter is particularly important in the Indian context due to the complex tax landscape and strict professional service regulations.
