Along with the ‘Annual Information Statement’, a summarized view of the information is made available to the taxpayer in a statement known as ‘Taxpayers Information Summary’.
The present article deals with one of the information categories of ‘Annual Information Statement’ that is ‘Cash withdrawals’.
