Training Programme on 'Effective Representation before ITAT'

THE Income Tax Department's "National Academy of Direct Taxes", NADT is organising a training programme on "Effective Representation before ITAT" to Commissioners, Additional Commissioners and Joint Commissioners.

The objective of the training programme is to enhance competency and capacity building in this significant area. The Course Contents include tax jurisprudence, interpretation of statutes, law of evidence, advocacy skills and other ancillary aspects.

The National Academy of Customs Excise and Narcotics (NACEN) should also think of some such course, but before that, they should have a course on adjudication and 'Speaking Orders' - more than half the officers do not know what a speaking order is.
