Hi Everyone

I have a question for every practising chartered accountant.

Assuming one of your major clients has to pay Rs. 10,00,000 to government as self assessment tax.

What would you do?

Option A - Adjust the figure so as to be loyal to the client for the fees he is giving

Option B - Make him pay the full amount as tax, showing exact and accurate accounts to the government.

Option C - Skip this question!!!!

All answers should be supported with their own perspective view of the problem. It should not be a one word answer

well according to me its option A

since in option A chartered will be loyal towards wat he is paid for and along with this he is giving him the service for wat the chartered has been appointed for.

I will opt for Option A, since he is paying me i would help him to reduce tax. see the govt is doing nothing for the people. so why should i let that money go to the govt.
