GOODS AND SERVICE TAX
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a transformative tax system that was introduced in India to replace the complex network of indirect taxes levied by both the central and state governments. Prior to GST, businesses were required to comply with multiple taxes like VAT, service tax, excise duty, and several others. These taxes were often complex and varied from state to state, creating a cumbersome system for businesses to navigate. GST aimed to streamline this process by consolidating these taxes into a single tax structure, thus simplifying the tax process for businesses and consumers alike. It was officially introduced on July 1, 2017, with the objective of implementing a unified tax system under the concept of “One Nation, One Tax.”
The introduction of GST marked a significant shift in the way taxation works in India, with the system designed to increase transparency and compliance while promoting ease of doing business. The unified tax system ensures that the entire nation operates under a single tax code, eliminating the need for businesses to deal with multiple taxes and separate tax authorities across various states. Under the GST framework, businesses are required to file returns on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis, depending on their turnover and the type of business they operate. This requirement helps ensure that businesses remain compliant with the law and fulfill their tax obligations on time. Additionally, businesses with an annual turnover exceeding ₹10 crores are mandated to submit an audit report, providing an additional layer of scrutiny and ensuring transparency in their financial and tax filings.

We serve clients across India, and our team is equipped with the knowledge and expertise to handle all aspects of GST compliance, from registration to filing returns and resolving disputes.
GST Registration Services
One of the first steps in the GST compliance process is GST registration. Any business or entity that meets the eligibility criteria for GST registration must go through the registration process to operate legally under the GST framework. For new businesses, navigating the registration process can be confusing, especially when it comes to understanding the documentation and requirements needed for the application. At Aakash Seth & Associates, we assist new businesses in registering under GST, ensuring that the process is smooth and efficient.
Our team helps businesses verify their eligibility for GST registration, collects the necessary documents, and submits the registration application on the GST portal. We take care of every aspect of the process, ensuring that businesses comply with the law from the moment they begin operations. For existing businesses, we also offer GST re-registration services in case of any changes, such as the business expanding into new territories or crossing the turnover threshold for mandatory registration. We aim to simplify the registration process and ensure businesses are fully compliant from the outset.
GST Returns Filing Services
Filing GST returns is a critical part of maintaining compliance with the GST system. Businesses are required to file various returns throughout the year, depending on the type of business they operate and the specific GST forms applicable to them. The filing process can be complex, and errors or delays in filing can result in penalties and interest charges. At Aakash Seth & Associates, we provide comprehensive GST return filing services to ensure that businesses meet their tax obligations on time and avoid any unnecessary penalties.
Our team helps businesses file GST returns accurately and within the required deadlines. We assist with filing key returns such as GSTR-1 (sales return), GSTR-2 (purchase return), GSTR-3 (summary return), and other related forms that may be required for your specific business structure. Additionally, we help businesses reconcile their returns and make any necessary adjustments or amendments, ensuring that all discrepancies are resolved before the final filing.
We understand that GST return filing is not a one-time process, but rather an ongoing responsibility for businesses. Our team works closely with clients to ensure that they stay on track with their filing obligations, whether on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. By providing timely and accurate return filing services, we help businesses avoid the risk of non-compliance and safeguard their reputation with tax authorities.
GST Assessment Services
GST assessments are a key part of the compliance process, and they help ensure that businesses are adhering to the GST laws correctly. When the tax authorities review a business’s GST returns, they may conduct an assessment to verify whether the business has filed its returns correctly and whether it owes any additional taxes or penalties. Our GST assessment services assist businesses in managing this process effectively.
At Aakash Seth & Associates, we help businesses prepare for GST assessments by ensuring that all required documents are in order and submitted in a timely manner. We represent businesses before the tax authorities, assisting them in presenting the necessary information and addressing any queries or concerns raised by the authorities. Our team also helps businesses address any potential issues that arise during the assessment process, reducing the risk of disputes or penalties.

Given the evolving nature of GST regulations, it’s important for businesses to stay up-to-date with changes and understand how these changes can impact their operations. At Aakash Seth & Associates, we provide expert GST advisory services to help businesses understand the implications of GST on their operations and ensure compliance with the latest regulations.
Our advisory services cover a wide range of topics, including GST tax planning, optimization of tax credits, managing inter-state transactions, and implementing internal controls to ensure continuous compliance with GST provisions. We work with businesses to identify any opportunities for tax savings and help them develop strategies to minimize their overall GST liability. Our team also provides guidance on how to structure transactions in a GST-efficient manner, ensuring that businesses can maximize their tax credits and minimize their tax exposure.
Due Diligence and Litigation Services
In addition to regular GST compliance services, Aakash Seth & Associates also provides due diligence and litigation services to businesses facing more complex issues. Due diligence is especially important when a business is involved in mergers, acquisitions, or other major transactions. During these transactions, businesses need to carefully assess the GST implications of their actions to ensure that there are no hidden liabilities or risks that could affect the value or future growth of the business.
Our due diligence services include a detailed review of a business’s GST compliance history, identifying any outstanding liabilities or potential disputes. We also help businesses assess the GST impact of mergers and acquisitions, ensuring that the transaction structure is optimized for tax purposes. If necessary, we represent businesses before tax authorities in cases of GST-related disputes or litigation.
