This is the byline for articles produced by TaxSocial's own editorial desk rather than by an individual contributor. Every article under this name is written from the primary source — the Act, the rules made under it, the gazette notification, the circular or the judgment — and is checked against that source before it is published. Articles carry the date they were published and are updated when the law moves. How we work, and how to report an error, is set out on the Editorial Team page.
