Field notes on GST, indirect-tax litigation, RoDTEP and outsourced US & Canada bookkeeping, written for owners and finance teams, not for other tax people. Every piece is something we have actually argued, filed or closed.
What a hotel can claim at 5% vs 18%, why an out-of-state hotel bill is not claimable at all, and the section 17(5) block on food.
Not a show cause notice, a system-generated intimation under Rule 88D. Seven days to answer in Part B, or the portal stops your next GSTR-1.
A GST notice is not a demand yet, your reply decides everything. How to read an SCN, the deadlines that matter, and what a strong DRC-06 reply contains.
The Tribunal is live. Adverse orders from before April 2026 face a hard appeal deadline, who is affected, the pre-deposit, and how to file APL-05.
ITC is where most GST money leaks. Eligibility, the real difference between 2A and 2B, and the reconciliation that protects your credit.
Room-tariff slabs, the 5% vs 18% restaurant choice, composite vs mixed supply, banquets, and where hotels lose ITC they could keep.
Exporters leave refunds stuck. Zero-rated supply, LUT vs IGST, inverted-duty refunds, and the RFD-01 file that clears without queries.
Thresholds keep lowering. Who must generate IRNs, the reporting time limit, and why a missing IRN breaks your buyer’s input credit.
The annual return is where a year of mismatches surface at once. Who must file, the due date, and a checklist to file without inviting a notice.
An audit notice is not a show cause, but how you handle it decides whether one follows. What auditors look at, and how to be ready.
RoDTEP now stands at 50% of earlier rates under DGFT Notification 60/2025-26. How to claim correctly and why export-costing needs a re-look.
What US & Canada businesses should look for: software fluency, GAAP awareness, data security, turnaround, and the questions to ask before you sign.
Reading is good. A reply is better. Send us the notice or the brief and you will have a first written read within one business day.

Four steps every engagement runs through, whether it starts with a notice, a year of books or a single question, from the first call to the closed file. No surprises, no theatre.
You send the matter, a notice, a ledger, a year of books or a question. We reply within one business day with scope, risk and a timeline.
A written plan you sign off on, the route, the sections or standards that apply, the fee and what done looks like, before any work starts.
The work gets done, returns filed, replies drafted, books closed, hearings attended. You see every draft before it leaves the desk.
Outcome documented and folded back into your calendar, so the next return, deadline or month-end runs smoother than the last.
