GST Registration

GST registration is required for businesses with turnover above the threshold or engaged in specific activities. It involves applying online with necessary documents, such as PAN and proof of address. Upon approval, a GST Identification Number (GSTIN) is issued, which must be used for invoicing and compliance. Registered businesses must file GST returns and maintain records.

GST Returns

GSTR-1: Monthly or quarterly return for detailing outward supplies of goods and services.

GSTR-2: Return for detailing inward supplies (Note: Suspended as of now; data is auto-populated in GSTR-3B).

GSTR-3B: Monthly return summarizing outward and inward supplies, and tax liability.

GSTR-4: Quarterly return for composition scheme taxpayers.

GSTR-9: Annual return summarizing all GST transactions for the financial year.

GSTR-10: Final return to be filed when a taxpayer's GST registration is canceled or surrendered.

Filing these returns ensures compliance with GST regulations and accurate tax reporting.

Income Tax Compliances

Tax Returns: Individuals and businesses must file annual income tax returns (ITR) detailing their income, deductions, and tax liabilities.

Advance Tax: Taxpayers need to pay advance tax if their tax liability exceeds a certain threshold, based on estimated income for the year.

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source): Businesses and employers must deduct tax at source on payments like salaries, rent, and interest, and remit it to the government.

Tax Deductible: Maintain records of deductions and exemptions claimed, such as for investments, loans, and charitable donations.

Filing Deadlines: Adhere to deadlines for filing returns, paying advance tax, and TDS remittance to avoid penalties.

Tax Audit: Certain businesses must undergo a tax audit to verify financial statements and compliance.

These practices ensure adherence to tax laws, accurate reporting, and timely payment of taxes.
