- Helps in rectifying unintended discrepancies without going through formal appeal processes.
2. **Appeals and Grievances**:

- Taxpayers can present their case to an appellate authority or tribunal, often requiring detailed documentation and legal arguments.
3. **Relief for Tax Hardship**:

- May involve installment payment plans, reduction or waiver of penalties, or deferred payment arrangements.
- Requires demonstrating financial difficulty and providing supporting documentation.
4. **Taxpayer Assistance and Ombudsman Services**:

- Ombudsman offices or taxpayer advocates help resolve disputes, clarify tax matters, and ensure fair treatment.
5. **Advance Rulings**:

- Provides certainty and prevents disputes by seeking an official ruling from tax authorities.
6. **Amnesty or Voluntary Disclosure Programs**:

- Often involves reduced penalties or immunity from prosecution for non-compliance.
