GST, minus the anxiety.

Registration, every return, exporter paperwork and notice replies — run by GST practitioners on a calendar that never slips, with input credit actually reconciled.

GST compliance has two halves: getting registered (mandatory at ₹40 lakh turnover for goods, ₹20 lakh for services, or immediately for inter-state and online sellers) and then filing returns every month or quarter — forever, even for nil periods. Most GST pain lives in the second half: mismatched input credit, missed due dates, and the notices both generate.

FilingBase runs both halves as a service — registration for a flat ₹1,499, returns from ₹599 a month with GSTR-2B reconciliation built in, and specialists for the LUT, e-invoicing, annual return and notice situations that surface as you grow.

Where GST actually goes wrong

Not at registration — at month four, when the novelty wears off. The failure pattern is consistent: returns slip a few days (late fees start), input credit gets claimed from the purchase register instead of GSTR-2B (reversal risk accrues silently), and a year later the department’s auto-matching sends a notice that takes ten hours to answer because nobody kept reconciliations. Every service on this page exists somewhere on that timeline — returns discipline prevents the mess, GSTR-9 trues up the year, and the notice team handles what arrives from the past.

Two situational must-knows: exporters should file a LUT every April — without it you pay IGST on exports and chase refunds for months. And businesses crossing ₹5 crore turnover fall under mandatory e-invoicing; invoices without an IRN are legally invalid and cost your buyers their credit, which is a fast way to lose B2B customers.

Common questions

Do I need GST registration below the turnover threshold?

Sometimes yes by law — inter-state goods sales, e-commerce platforms and reverse-charge liability mandate registration regardless of turnover. And often yes by commerce: B2B clients need your GST invoice to claim their credit, so voluntary registration below the threshold is common.

What does GST compliance cost per year for a small business?

Registration is a one-time ₹1,499. Ongoing returns run ₹7,000–₹24,000 a year on our plans depending on invoice volume — versus late fees, blocked e-way bills and interest when self-managed filings slip. Most clients treat it as insurance that also recovers input credit they were missing.

Can you fix a GST mess from previous years?

Yes — we start with a reconciliation of filed returns against books and 2B, quantify exposure honestly, and fix what is fixable (amendments, DRC-03 payments where due, credit within time limits). If a notice already exists, the notice-reply team leads and the returns team rebuilds hygiene going forward.

Hand over the calendar.

One consultation, and GST due dates stop being your problem — a named practitioner takes the whole cycle.
