GST Compliance online - Core areas of our consultancy services

  • GST Registration and GST Returns

    Obtaining GST Registration is not an easy task now. Things have become more complex and GST officers are vigilant in granting GST Registration in various states in India. The document requirement has increased drastically. Most of the GST applications in India are encountered with Show Cause Notice in GST demanding more documents and additional clarifications. Often taxpayers get confused and are not aware of how to file accurate clarification to get GST Registration. This is where consultancy is required. A GST consultant knows what to do and what documents need to provide to get GST Registration without any hassle. After obtaining GST Registration, taxpayers are not aware of how GST Returns are filed and how the Input tax credit is claimed. GST Returns can vary to the nature of the business however, the basic returns like GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B remain the same. The only question that arises is what needs to be reported in these returns and how the entire mechanism will work. How will the taxpayer be able to claim GST paid on purchases and as per law? This is where the services of GST consultants are required. 

  • GST Annual Return and Reconciliation Statement

    We are aware of monthly returns GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, however, do you know? Filing GST annual return (GSTR-9) is compulsory for taxpayers having turnover exceeding INR 2 crores. The most important question is why we need to file an accurate GSTR-9 return and why taking the assistance of GST consultants in filing GSTR-9 should be considered. GSTR-9 is a final return and it cannot be revised. Once it got filed, it cannot be revised - So, there should be negligible chances of error. Further, it is filed annually and contains the details for the entire financial year. In case any mistake was committed during the financial year, it can be rectified in GSTR-9 with proper payment of tax if any in DRC-03. Otherwise, there is possible scrutiny of returns and further tax identification which may be troublesome for taxpayers to handle.  This is where GST consultancy comes into the picture. A GST consultant knows how to accurately file GSTR-9 and how precisely figures need to be reflected in GSTR-9. GSTR-9C is a reconciliation statement that needs to be filed and digitally signed by a Chartered Accountant. Although it is not mandatory and needs to be filed by all taxpayers, it is pertinent to note that GSTR-9C is kind a of reconciliation statement that constitutes a GST Audit. Services of GST consultants are required here, on how to prepare data for GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C. 

  • GST Scrutiny and Assessment cases

    Taxpayers often received notices from the GST department about the variances noted in GST Returns or for noncompliance with CGST Act, 2017. Failure to respond to notices lead to further proceedings in the case and to handle GST scrutiny notices and cases, the services of GST consultants are required. Timely response to GST notices needs to be filed along with respective annexures and clarifications. To draft a response, one needs to understand the root cause of the notice and legal provisions governing it and the conclusions of similar case laws and rulings. This is where a GST consultant comes into the picture. This much knowledge can be possessed by a GST consultant only engaged in the field of Indirect tax. Our team consists of Chartered Accountants who are well-versed in GST law and handling GST notices since the advent of Goods and Service Tax in India. Responses to notices are filed online, so we are able to manage GST cases from remote parts of India also.

  • Input tax credit reconciliations and opinions

    Claiming GST Input tax credit on purchases needs to be as per provisions as per CGST Act, 2017. One needs to ensure blocked credits under Section 17(5) are not to be claimed, one needs to ensure requirements under Section 16 are getting fulfilled.  Further, Rule 42 needs to be complied with which involves complex calculations and reporting in GSTR-3B. The same needs to be handled by a GST Expert or a Consultant engaged in the practice of Indirect taxes. Input tax credit reconciliations like GSTR-3B Vs Purchases Vs GSTR-2B which is prepared to check whether the right amount of Input tax as per CGST Acts & Rules is getting claimed and to avoid loss of credit.  We at Gstmentor prepares these type of reconciliations and advise clients on what action needs to be taken to minimize loss of input tax credit.  Input tax credit opinion refers to providing advisory services on whether such input tax credit needs to be claimed or let go. Further, such opinions become a base in handling notices and filing responses to notices, if issues in respect of such claims of Input tax credits.

  • Designing Internal Controls for GST Configurations in ERP systems

    An entity should have a strong internal control system that allows accurate and complete recording of GST in accounting records. It involves designing controls on how GST will be calculated in ERP, how GST rates would be entered into the system, and how GST journal vouchers would be posted in ERP. Further, how maker checker control will be implemented and how the entire approval process would work in a company.  How mandatory fields will be created in ERP for vendor creation and customer creation? All this advisory comes under designing a configuration for GST in ERP.  Any omission or errors in complying with GST in ERP may lead to incomplete and incorrect vendor and customer master, mistakes in preparing tax invoices, incorrect vouchers posted in accounting records and ultimately leading to major flaws in GST Returns. This is where a GST consultant comes into the picture who is aware of internal controls to be levied in ERPs for smooth functioning and recording of transactions involving GST.
