Appeal & Advisory
Expert advisory services provided to all members on legal and taxation matters.
When You Need a Stronger Voice
Some challenges are too big for a single business to navigate alone — a problematic government policy, an unfair administrative decision, or a regulatory ambiguity affecting the entire IT trade sector. That's where PACT's Appeal & Advisory service comes in.
PACT's leadership, advisory board, and special invitees combine their government relationships, legal expertise, and collective influence to represent member interests before State and Central authorities — turning individual concerns into industry-wide advocacy.
We also provide strategic advisory on navigating bureaucratic processes — from licensing applications to policy clarifications — drawing on decades of institutional experience.

COVID-19 Relief Measures for IT Traders

Simplified IT Hardware Customs Classification
