The India Tax Engine
Cassandra's India tax engine reasons over Indian primary sources rather than a generic global model. Answers name the statute, the section, and the Income Tax Department and CBDT guidance relied on, so chartered accountants, GST practitioners, advocates can verify the reasoning before it reaches a client.
Where a regime is in transition — currently Income-tax Act 2025 transition alongside the 1961 Act — Cassandra surfaces the transition and the competing treatments instead of silently choosing one. Cross-border questions combine this engine with the applicable double tax agreement, the OECD Model Tax Convention commentary, the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines, and BEPS Pillar One and Pillar Two materials.
