GST and Indirect Tax Services at a Glance

What our GST advisory practice covers

Our services cover registration, recurring compliance, taxability advice, return reconciliations, refunds, departmental audit support, assessments, appeals and related Customs questions. We coordinate business records with the relevant statutory requirements and operational processes.

Who benefits from specialist GST support

We work with Indian companies, LLPs, start-ups, manufacturers, exporters, importers, e-commerce operators, foreign-owned subsidiaries and multi-state businesses. The actual service scope depends on the transactions, registrations and issues involved.

Choosing the right service pathway

New businesses can begin with GST registration services; established businesses often require return filing and compliance. For unresolved tax differences, see assessment and litigation support.

GST Registration Advisory in India

When registration requirements arise

Registration depends on aggregate turnover, type and location of supplies, compulsory-registration provisions and exemptions. Inter-State supply alone should not be treated as a universal compulsory-registration rule without checking the applicable exceptions.

Registration documents and business premises

We review constitutional documents, authorised signatory details, identity documents and proof of principal place of business. See our GST registration document checklist and virtual office guidance, where relevant.

Amendment, cancellation and revocation

Changes in business address, authorised signatory or business particulars may require registration amendments. Cessation or suspension may trigger separate procedures. Read amendment guidance and cancellation and revocation guidance.

GST Return Filing and Ongoing Compliance

Monthly and quarterly return workflow

We assist with GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and QRMP workflows as applicable, matching outward supplies, liability and payments. Our GST return filing service addresses recurring compliance.

Annual returns and reconciliation

GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C applicability depends on the applicable law, notification and turnover for the relevant financial year. Annual reconciliations compare books, returns, liability, credits and reporting adjustments.

Due dates, late fees and records

Businesses should monitor filing calendars, late-fee rules, payment ledgers and supporting accounting records. Review GST return due dates and late fees and GST accounts and records guidance.

Input Tax Credit and GST Reconciliations

Purchase register versus GSTR-2B

A sound reconciliation compares the purchase ledger, tax invoices, supplier reporting, GSTR-2B, return claims and the applicable statutory eligibility conditions. A mismatch requires explanation, not an automatic assumption of ineligibility.

ITC reversal, reclaim and blocked credits

Businesses should identify restricted credits, temporary reversals, reclaim balances and documentary deficiencies. Section 16 and Section 17, relevant rules and any applicable notifications need to be evaluated transaction by transaction.

Management reporting on GST differences

A documented exceptions tracker can classify supplier mismatches, tax-period differences, duplicate credits and outstanding follow-ups. See our GST return reconciliation services.

GST Refund Advisory and Claim Assistance

Export, SEZ and unutilised ITC refunds

Refund eligibility may arise for qualifying zero-rated supplies, specified accumulated ITC, excess payments and other statutory situations. Export documentation and place-of-supply conditions must be examined before filing.

RFD-01 filing and documentary support

Our GST refund services include eligibility checks, computation review, returns reconciliation and preparation of refund applications. Supporting evidence can include invoices, shipping records and remittance information, where applicable.

Deficiency memos and refund disputes

Timely response to departmental communication is essential. See our guides about uploading refund documents, exporter refund issues and temporary registration refunds.

GST Audit and Health Check Services

Departmental audit under Section 65

A departmental audit requires structured review of notices, books, returns, input credits and supporting records. The scope should address the tax periods and issues identified by the department.

Special audit under Section 66

Special audit is a distinct statutory process subject to its own conditions; it is not the same as an ordinary internal GST compliance review. Legal requirements and the appointed professional framework should be checked.

Preventive compliance review

Our GST audit services help identify discrepancies before they become disputes. A practical GST audit checklist supports periodic testing of invoice and return data.

GST Notices, Assessments and Litigation

Return scrutiny and departmental enquiries

For scrutiny, we review the notice, books, returns, reconciliations, relevant financial year and statutory response period. See our GST notice reply service.

Show cause notices and tax demands

Demand cases may involve Sections 73 and 74 for earlier periods or Section 74A for FY 2024-25 onwards. We examine the proposed demand, tax period, evidence, interest, penalty and procedural requirements.

First appeals and GSTAT assistance

An adverse order should be assessed promptly for appealability, limitation and pre-deposit. Our GST appeal against demand order guide and litigation service page explain specialist support.

Taxability, Classification and GST Rates

HSN and SAC classification

The nature of supply, classification notes, tariff headings, applicable rate schedules and exemptions influence tax treatment. A product description or invoice label alone may not establish the correct GST rate.

Valuation and discounts

Transaction value, related-party pricing, discounts, reimbursements and non-monetary consideration may affect GST valuation. Contracts, invoicing and transfer pricing documentation should be read together where relevant.

Checking rate changes and notifications

GST rate changes should be confirmed against effective notifications and applicable dates. Use our GST tax rates overview as introductory guidance and verify current official notifications before invoicing.

Cross-Border GST and Foreign-Owned Businesses

Exports of services and place of supply

Export treatment depends on statutory conditions including the location of supplier and recipient, place of supply, payment and establishment relationships. Foreign customers do not automatically make every service zero-rated.

Import of services and reverse charge

Service imports may attract GST under reverse charge in applicable cases. Contracts, recipient location, place of supply and taxability require review before accounting and reporting treatment is settled.

Intercompany charges and multi-state entities

Foreign group services, reimbursements and distinct-person transactions can raise valuation, place-of-supply, input tax credit and documentation questions. We coordinate GST review with broader accounting and regulatory compliance.

E-Invoicing, E-Way Bills and Digital Controls

E-invoice applicability and ERP mapping

Where covered by applicable thresholds and exclusions, taxpayers should review IRN generation, invoice reporting timelines, ERP integration and correspondence with GSTR-1 data.

E-way bill checks for goods movement

Movement of goods requires transaction-specific assessment of e-way bill rules, exemptions, documentation, transporter data and validity. See our e-way bill under GST guide.

GST for E-Commerce and Digital Businesses

Marketplace and seller obligations

A platform and its sellers may have different invoicing, registration, TCS and return obligations depending on the contractual supply model and the applicable GST provisions.

Digital services and interstate supplies

Software, subscriptions, online advisory and cross-border digital services can require separate place-of-supply and taxability analysis; the legal supplier and recipient should be identified first.

GST Support for Manufacturing and Trading

Job work, branch transfers and stock movement

Manufacturers should review input credits, job work movement, stock transfers and distinct-person invoicing. Our GST manufacturing sector guide provides additional context.

Procurement and vendor-risk controls

Procurement documentation, supplier filings, classification and GSTIN accuracy affect compliance and credit risk. Periodic vendor follow-ups and exception reporting improve the audit trail.

Customs and International Trade Advisory

Customs classification and valuation

Importers and exporters may need separate classification, Customs valuation and duty reviews. The Customs framework should not be confused with GST legislation even where transactions involve both.

SEZ, DGFT and related-party imports

SEZ supplies, foreign trade authorisations and related-party imports may require coordination of GST, Customs, DGFT and Special Valuation Branch procedures.

Our GST Engagement Process

Initial review and scope definition

We first understand registrations, supplies, industry, accounting systems, return history and any open tax notices. Scope, responsibilities, deadlines and deliverables are agreed before commencement.

Reconciliation, advice and implementation

We assess source records, reconcile returns, identify legal issues and provide practical documentation and filing support. Complex transactions may require issue-specific written advice.

Ongoing monitoring and escalation

Recurring assignments use filing calendars, exception reports and issue trackers. New notices, refunds or transaction changes can be escalated for specialist review.

EzyBiz India Consulting LLP coordinates GST with accounting, audit, direct tax and regulatory matters. Businesses seeking specialist support can review our GST consultant guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions on GST Advisory

Do you assist with GST compliance across multiple states?

Yes. We assist in reviewing state-wise registrations and return obligations, inter-branch supplies and reconciliations, subject to the agreed scope.

Can a foreign company require GST registration in India?

Yes, depending on the nature and location of supplies, business presence and relevant legal provisions. A fact-specific review is necessary before deciding registration requirements.

What should I do when I receive a GST notice?

Record the date of service and deadline, examine the full notice and annexures, identify the provision involved and prepare a fact-based response with supporting documents.

Can exporters claim refunds of GST credits?

Eligible exporters may seek refunds under the prescribed provisions and procedures, subject to zero-rated supply conditions, credit eligibility, documentation and limitations.

How do I choose between GST advisory and routine filing?

Routine compliance covers recurring returns and reconciliations. Advisory is especially relevant where taxability, classification, exports, disputes, rate changes or complex business arrangements require interpretation.
