Chartered Accountant Himank Singla says,
The direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme 2024 announced in Budget 2024 provides an opportunity to taxpayers for settling their pending tax disputes with the Income Tax Department. Under this scheme, you need to pay the disputed amount of tax as well as a specified percentage on this disputed tax amount along with disputed tax amount. Once the specified tax amount is deposited to the government along with the application form, the income tax department will waive off all the additional penalties, penal interest amount and close the tax dispute case.
