GST
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is India’s most significant tax reform, designed to unify indirect taxes and create a transparent system for businesses and consumers alike. While GST simplifies taxation, it also comes with strict compliance requirements — registration, timely return filing, invoicing, input tax credit, audits, and assessments.
At Sinha & Associates, we provide comprehensive GST services in Kolkata — from registration and return filing to advisory and compliance management. With 25+ years of experience in taxation and government registrations, we ensure that your business remains fully compliant with GST laws while minimizing tax liabilities and avoiding penalties.
