Terms and conditions

Who we are

TheTaxCo. is a partnership firm providing tax, compliance and advisory services from Hyderabad, Telangana. Its principal place of business is Plot No. 0414/11, Phase 2, TNGOs Colony, Gachibowli, Hyderabad 500046. “We” means the firm and its partners; “you” means anyone using thetaxco.in and, where a section says so, a client who has engaged us.

What this website is for

It describes our services, carries our Journal, and lets you send a message, chat with us on WhatsApp, Instagram or X, or book an introductory call. Service pages describe the kind of work we do; they do not confirm that a service suits you or is available for your situation. Where a service involves a report or certificate that must be signed by a Chartered Accountant, our part is the preparation work; the signing is done as set out in “Work that must be signed by a Chartered Accountant”. We take on an assignment only after looking at its scope, our capacity and our legal and professional obligations. Nothing here promises an outcome or compares us with another firm.

Content is information, not advice

Pages and Journal articles are general. They cannot cover every fact, exception, amendment or interpretation that applies to you, and they are not advice on your tax, accounts, business or legal position. Check the date and period an article covers; the law may have moved since, and we do not undertake to revise every article each time it does. Before acting, take advice on your own records. No page promises a registration, refund, approval, tax saving or favourable order.

We are not a law firm

TheTaxCo. is not a law firm. We do not give legal opinions, draft legal instruments as advocates, or appear as advocates before courts or tribunals. Where a matter needs an advocate, an advocate engaged for the matter does that work. If we suggest or arrange an advocate, we receive no fee or commission for doing so.

Reading is not engaging us

Visiting the site, reading an article, messaging us or booking a call does not make you a client, and an automatic acknowledgement or calendar invitation is not acceptance of work. Our paid work runs under a separate engagement letter with us that sets out our services, responsibilities, fees and terms, and that letter prevails over these Terms for that work. If we start work before a letter is signed, our quote or invoice and these Terms apply to that work until it is. Work signed by an independent practising Chartered Accountant is that Chartered Accountant’s own professional work, not ours.

Until a letter is agreed or we have confirmed in writing that we have started, your filings, replies and deadlines remain your responsibility. Sending us a notice or mentioning a due date does not mean we have agreed to act. Do not wait for a reply through the website or a chat where a deadline needs action.

Messages and calls

Send only what we need to understand the enquiry: no portal passwords, one-time passwords, bank credentials or identity documents, on any channel. The Cal.com booking is a twenty-minute introductory call to understand your enquiry and agree next steps; it is not a review of your records or advice given on the call. Check the date, time zone and joining details in the confirmation, and use the booking controls to cancel or move it; we may occasionally need to rearrange.

None of these channels is an emergency service and we do not promise a response time through them. If you hear nothing, use the contact details below. Anything you send stays subject to our privacy and confidentiality duties whether or not we take the work. We share it with the independent practising Chartered Accountant who signs your report or certificate only as agreed in your engagement letter, as set out in “Work that must be signed by a Chartered Accountant”.

Fees

Our fees, payment dates, expenses and any cancellation or refund terms are set out in your engagement letter with us, not here. TheTaxCo. is not registered for GST and does not charge GST on its fees.

Work that must be signed by a Chartered Accountant

This section applies when you are our client under an engagement letter with us.

What we do not do. TheTaxCo. is not a firm of Chartered Accountants and is not registered with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). We do not carry out audits or examinations that the law reserves to Chartered Accountants, and we do not sign audit reports or attest certificates.

Who signs. Where the law needs a Chartered Accountant’s signature, an independent practising Chartered Accountant carries out that work and signs it. TheTaxCo. does not sign audits or certificates. The same applies where a bank or an authority needs a report or certificate signed by a Chartered Accountant. Where the law or a lender decides the appointment, for example a company’s statutory auditor or a bank’s stock auditor, that appointment process applies.

Their responsibility. The Chartered Accountant decides the scope of their work, carries out the examination themselves or through their own partners or staff, and signs under their own professional responsibility. They alone are responsible for their work and for any opinion, report or certificate they give, and we make no promise about its content, timing or outcome. Our part is preparing your records and schedules.

We receive no fee, commission or share from any Chartered Accountant.

Sharing records, with your consent. We share your records and information with the independent practising Chartered Accountant who signs your report or certificate only as agreed in your engagement letter with us. Using this website is not consent. Our Privacy Policy explains this sharing under “Sharing client records with the signing Chartered Accountant”.

Purpose and scope. Consent covers sharing only so that the Chartered Accountant can carry out and sign their work, and so that we can answer their questions about what we prepared. We share only the books, schedules, returns and supporting documents they need for that work. The Chartered Accountant may send us their queries and the information we need to prepare or correct our work.

Withdrawing consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time by writing to mail@thetaxco.in, as easily as you gave it. Within a reasonable time, we stop sharing new information with the Chartered Accountant. Withdrawal does not undo earlier sharing; information the Chartered Accountant already holds stays with them under their own professional and legal duties, and you can contact them directly about their own use. Without that sharing, the Chartered Accountant may be unable to complete their work, and your filings and deadlines remain your responsibility.

What we ask of you

Give us information that is accurate to your knowledge and tell us promptly of errors or changes. If you write for someone else or for a business, make sure you have the authority to do so and to share the information, and that any individual whose personal data you share with us has been told how we will use it; do not put another person’s records in a first message. Use the site lawfully: no impersonation, malicious files, unauthorised access or interference. We may restrict access to protect the site.

Our content

Text, articles, design and other material belong to us or to their owners; citing or linking a source does not make it ours. You may read our content, keep a copy for your own reference, and share a link or a short attributed extract without changing its meaning. Anything more, including republication or commercial use, needs the rights holder’s permission unless the law already allows it. Do not pass our articles off as your own or use our name to imply endorsement.

Other people’s services and links

Framer hosts the site; Cal.com runs the booking; WhatsApp, Instagram and X carry the chats. Each has its own terms and privacy notice, and we do not control their services. We link to government portals and other references for the stated purpose; a link is not government approval of us, nor our endorsement of everything on the linked page. Check a destination before entering information there.

Liability

We take reasonable care with the site but cannot promise that every page is complete, current or free of errors, or that access will be uninterrupted. To the extent Indian law allows, we exclude liability for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of the site or reliance on its general information. For work we take on, unless your engagement letter sets a different limit, our total liability for any engagement is limited to the fees paid to us for that engagement. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, such as lost profit, or interest or penalties caused by information from you that was late or incorrect. The independent practising Chartered Accountant who signs a report or certificate is responsible for it under their own professional duties.

These limits do not apply to fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or to any liability the law does not allow to be limited. Nothing here removes a statutory right, stops a complaint to a competent authority or shortens a limitation period. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stands.

Privacy

How we handle information from the site, the form, the chats and the booking, and client records shared with the independent practising Chartered Accountant who signs your report or certificate, is in our Privacy Policy.

Changes

We may revise these Terms when the site, our arrangements or the law change, and will update the date shown. Changes apply going forward and do not alter an existing engagement letter or a right that has already arisen.

Law and courts

Indian law governs these Terms. Disputes go to the courts at Hyderabad, Telangana, where they have jurisdiction. This does not displace a statutory forum or a right the law gives you elsewhere.
