Indirect Tax Advisory — GST, Customs & Export Incentives

Indirect tax advisory is the umbrella service covering the business's entire indirect tax position — the GST under the CGST/SGST/IGST Acts 2017, the customs duty under the Customs Act 1962, and the export incentives under the Foreign Trade Policy. The advisory maps the business's supplies, its imports and exports, and its incentive claims against the law, and runs the compliance — the registration, the returns, the refunds, the assessments and the notices — as one coordinated position rather than a set of separate filings.

The indirect taxes are the largest cash taxes a business pays, and they are the most audit-visible. The GST position is read by the department from the returns; the customs position is read at the border; the incentive claims are read in the export records. The business that manages them as one position finds its cash, its refunds and its audit exposure under control; the business that manages them as separate filings finds the gaps where the positions cross.

The cost of unmanaged indirect tax is the demand and the blocked cash together: the GST liability miscalculated, the credit unclaimed, the refunds abandoned, the customs classification wrong, the incentives missed — each a leak in a system where the leaks are visible to the department.

This service is for businesses that want their indirect tax run as a single discipline. We map the GST, the customs and the export incentive positions under the Acts, run the compliance cycle, build and file the refund claims, respond to the notices and the audits, and review the positions annually so the indirect tax structure is current with the business and the law.
