Savan Shah & Co.FAQ
Questions about the process.
Practical answers about how engagements work — not tax advice. For advice on your specific facts, please get in touch.
When should I consult a CA on a property sale or capital gains?
Ideally before the transaction is signed or registered. Pre-transaction planning preserves exemption options and reinvestment timelines that are difficult to recover once a deal is closed.
What does a written advisory report include?
A structured PDF report with an executive summary and supporting Excel workings, issued under a single report number. It records the facts considered, the computation, the observations, and the recommended course of action.
Do you work with clients outside Ahmedabad?
Yes. The practice works with clients across India. Documents are shared securely by email or WhatsApp, discussions happen by call or video, and the final report is delivered as a PDF and Excel bundle.
What documents will I need to provide?
It depends on the engagement. A property or capital-gains matter typically needs the sale and purchase deeds, dates and amounts, improvement-cost proofs, and reinvestment details. Each engagement begins with a specific document checklist.
What does the workflow look like, from enquiry to report?
A short first conversation to understand the facts, then a written proposal with scope, a document checklist, the computation and workings, draft observations for discussion, and finally the signed PDF report with Excel workings.
How are fees determined?
Fees are quoted per engagement in the written proposal, once scope is agreed. Scope depends on factors such as the number of properties or entities, residential status, the exemptions involved, GST or project complexity, and urgency.
Can you review a transaction that is already completed?
Yes, though options narrow once a transaction is registered. A post-transaction review focuses on correct computation, compliance, and disclosure.
