Why most of our GST work is recurring, not one-off
A registration is a single filing; staying compliant is a monthly or quarterly habit. Most of what we do for GST clients is the return cycle itself — reconciling purchase credit against GSTR-2B before it's claimed, tracking due dates across multiple GSTINs, and picking up a notice early enough that a reply is still straightforward.
Clients who come to us only when a notice has already landed usually pay more, in time and in interest, than they would have if the underlying mismatch had been caught during the monthly return cycle. Where we handle the full cycle for a client, reconciliation happens before filing, not after a query is raised.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be GST-registered before I start selling?
Only once you cross the applicable turnover threshold, or if you fall into a category that must register regardless of turnover — inter-state supply and e-commerce selling are the two that catch people out most often.
What happens if I file a GST return late?
A late fee applies per day of delay, plus interest on any tax paid late. Continued non-filing leads to suspension and eventually cancellation of the registration.
Can you handle GST for a business registered in another state?
Yes. GST registration and compliance work is largely done online, so we handle clients registered in any state.
I have GST registrations in more than one state. Can one firm handle all of them?
Yes — each registration files independently, but there's no reason the compliance work can't be coordinated from one place.
What is the difference between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B?
GSTR-1 reports the details of outward supplies made during the period. GSTR-3B is a summary return used to declare tax liability and pay tax. Both are filed for the same period, on different due dates.
Can I switch from the composition scheme to the regular scheme mid-year?
Yes, a composition taxpayer can opt out and move to the regular scheme; the switch takes effect from the start of the next tax period and carries its own filing requirements at the point of transition.
