you just explained indian indirect taxes. "tax season" in india is a yearly affair so that is what i wrote. the indirect taxes, well, there are 2 due dates in a month. 10th and 20th. salary taxes are called "tds" or "tax deduction at source". same, monthly and a quarterly return. we do have those "network firms" , actually the "big 4" in india is a network of firms who have taken up a name, there isnt any actual EY office, just a name of a network. >And yes, the accountant was unreachable before doing our taxes. irresponsible of them. we literally manage our outside-office life based on the 10th and 20th of the month so, 1-10 and 17-20 are no normal holiday days. employees are free to take a leave on 11th-15th or 21-28th of every month but the rest of the days, unless there is a serious emergency, leaves are not entertained much. a small office usually does not have a tonne of clients (otherwise they would be big) so every client is important. Now why would this particular accountant would go on a vacation on "important dates", i dont know. i can safely say i have never done that and neither have my peers
