You can get your Tax Clearance Certificate from the Tax Authority where you file your tax return. But it is always advisable that you allow professional to help you in this regards before you get yourself exposed unnecessarily. There are areas where you can make a lot of savings on tax legitimately. Furthermore, if you are a corporate entity, you will not be able to handle the processing of the TCC yourself. You need to have Financial Statements prepared which will form the basis for the computation of the tax payable. If there is still information which you need which I have not captured here, you can reach me on 08024768668
