Chartered accountant firms and hospitals are under scrutiny after the revenue department found mismatches between their income tax and indirect tax filings.
Tax authorities have also decided to slot consultant doctors as ‘intermediaries’ for taxation purposes even as medical services are outside the purview of goods and services tax (GST), people aware of the development said.
The tax department has issued notices to several hospitals, they said.
With the revenue department getting data from various government departments, its data analytics team can parse through large amounts of data and throw up the inconsistencies quickly.
