Detailed Offerings

GST Registration, Amendments & Surrender

We manage the complete lifecycle of your GST registration, ensuring precise classification of goods and services under the correct HSN/SAC codes. Our team handles the addition of new branches, modification of core business details, and updates to authorized signatories. If your business operations cease, we execute the formal surrender and cancellation of your GST identification number. This ensures you are completely free from any lingering tax liabilities or compliance burdens.

Routine GST Return Filing & Compliance

We take over the heavy burden of your monthly and quarterly GST compliance, ensuring absolute accuracy in GSTR-A, GSTR-CB, and other applicable filings. Our team meticulously reconciles your outward supplies and inward purchase registers with the government's portal to maximize your Input Tax Credit (ITC). We utilize automated tools to identify mismatches in GSTR-BA/BB, preventing supplier defaults from impacting your cash flow. Timely and precise filing eliminates the risk of late fees and harsh departmental notices.

GST Audit & Annual Returns (GSTR-I/IC)

The annual GST return is a critical consolidation of your entire year's financial data and requires expert reconciliation with your audited balance sheet. We prepare and file your GSTR-I and the mandatory GSTR-IC reconciliation statement with surgical precision. Our team conducts mock GST audits before the final submission to identify and rectify any inadvertent tax shortfalls. This proactive preparation protects your business during formal assessments by the tax authorities.

GST Refund Claims & Assessment Support

Unclaimed GST refunds severely restrict your working capital, especially for exporters or businesses with inverted duty structures. We rigorously prepare your refund applications, collating all required shipping bills, electronic inward registers, and statutory certificates. Our professionals represent your case directly before the jurisdictional tax officers to expedite the disbursement of your stuck funds. We ensure the entire process is handled efficiently so the cash flows back into your operations.

E-Way Bill & E-Invoicing Implementation

We guide businesses through the mandatory transition to digital compliance, ensuring seamless generation of E-Invoices for B2B transactions. Our team advises on the correct integration of E-Way bill APIs with your existing ERP or accounting software to prevent logistical bottlenecks. We help establish robust internal protocols so that your supply chain is never halted by improper documentation at checkpoints. This guarantees real-time compliance while keeping your fleet moving efficiently.

Customs Duty Advisory & Supply Chain Tax Optimization

Our experts analyze your import and export operations to ensure you are utilizing the most favorable customs duty classifications and tariff rates. We advise on complex valuation rules and assist in navigating Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) to legally minimize your landed costs. By structuring your international supply chain efficiently, we enhance your global competitiveness. We also support businesses in responding to queries from the Special Valuation Branch (SVB) of Indian Customs.

LUT Filing & Export/Import GST Advisory

For exporters of goods and services, we secure the Letter of Undertaking (LUT) annually, allowing you to export without the upfront payment of IGST. We provide specialized advisory on zero-rated supplies, merchant exports, and transactions involving Special Economic Zones (SEZs). Our guidance ensures that your international contracts are structured to take full advantage of India’s export incentive frameworks. We eliminate the compliance friction that often slows down global trade.

GST Impact Assessment on New Business Models

Before you launch a new product line or alter your distribution strategy, we conduct a comprehensive assessment of the potential GST implications. We analyze place of supply rules, time of supply triggers, and composite versus mixed supply classifications. This foresight prevents unexpected tax liabilities from eroding the profitability of your new commercial ventures. Our proactive structuring ensures your business model is both commercially viable and strictly tax-compliant.
