About Tax
What I Offer
I help make sense of tax - whether you’re figuring out your income tax planning as a salaried person, sorting GST compliance for your growing business, or wrangling with international tax issues. I work with individuals, families, startups, and big companies. Sometimes, rules change fast. Sometimes, a small mistake gets you a headache with tax notices. I’ve seen it all, and I don’t mind getting into the details.
How I Approach Things
I don’t just do one-off fixes. I’ll try to understand your bigger picture. If you’re salaried, I’ll walk you through deductions, exemptions, even HRA or those property tax quirks that come up, especially in major cities. For businesses, I break down GST, help you stay on top of TDS and TCS rules, and if you’re a startup, I’ll point you to exemptions you might not know exist.
Handling the Tough Stuff
Tax dispute? Got a notice, or you’re worried about that old return? I’ll sit with you and figure out the best way out – sometimes using government amnesty schemes. Imports, customs, international tax? I can cover that too.
Why Trust Me
My tax advice comes with experience. I lean on the insights of former IRS officers and lawyers who’ve been rated by Chambers and Legal 500. No jargon, just straight answers.

My Story
We’re Fox Mandal & Associates, but honestly, we’re just a bunch of folks who care about law, our team, and doing right by our clients. Awards like Legal 500 feel good, sure, but we get more excited about team lunches, watching people grow from associate to partner, and celebrating Diwali or Women’s Day together. Sometimes you’ll catch us talking law on TV or pitching in for music creators. We’re big on Indian values and giving back, not just billing hours.
