Goods and Services Tax
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a comprehensive, multi-stage, destination-based tax levied on value addition across India. It unifies the indirect tax system, replacing multiple state and central taxes, and simplifies business operations. Our GST advisory services include evaluating tax implications for transactions, reviewing contracts for GST impact, and assisting in valuation for related party transactions. We help with anti-profiteering compliance, import/export advice under the Customs Act, and Customs Valuation for related party imports. Our compliance services cover GST registration, input tax credit verification, tax computation reviews, and filing returns. We also offer GSP/ASP solutions for seamless monthly compliance. In litigation, we assist with responses to notices, filing appeals, and representing clients before authorities. Additionally, we conduct due diligence, health-check reviews, and management training to ensure clear understanding of GST provisions.
