Our GST guides, arranged by your situation
Ten long-form explainers from our knowledge centre, indexed honestly: what each one actually covers, who it is for, and which to read first. No guide sells you anything — they exist so you understand the rules before deciding whether to do it yourself or hand it to us.
Typical reply within minutes during office hours.
Pick your situation, follow the path
Starting a new business
Read Do I need GST registration? first — half the people who contact us do not need it yet. If you do, GST registration documents tells you what to gather, and Composition vs regular GST settles the one decision you must make before applying. Then either apply yourself on gst.gov.in or hand it to our ₹499 registration service.
Selling online
Start with GST for online sellers — it explains why the turnover threshold usually does not protect marketplace sellers and how TCS credits work. Follow with the documents guide above, then the platform-specific setup pages for Amazon and Meesho.
Exporting goods or services
One guide matters most: GST LUT explained — export without paying IGST upfront, renew every year before 31 March. Freelancers billing foreign clients count as exporters more often than they realise; our GST for professionals page covers that intersection.
In trouble — notice, late fees or cancellation
Read GST notices explained to identify what you received and the reply deadline, then GST late fees and interest to size the damage. If your registration is at risk, Cancellation vs suspension explains the difference and the 90-day revocation window. Deadlines here are short — if the notice is real, talk to us before it lapses.
Stop researching. Get it done.
You could spend another hour reading — or send us one WhatsApp message and have the exact fee, document list and timeline in writing before dinner.

All ten guides, honestly summarised
Before you register
- Do I need GST registration? — The threshold tests (₹40 lakh goods / ₹20 lakh services in Gujarat), the Section 24 compulsory triggers, and the honest case against registering voluntarily too early. Read this before anything else on this page.
- GST registration documents — The full checklist by entity type, why premises proof causes the most queries, and what "NOC from owner" actually means. Pairs with our entity guides for proprietorships, firms, LLPs and companies.
Choosing how you are taxed
- Composition vs regular GST — The flat-rate scheme against the normal regime, with the trade-offs spelled out: lower compliance and rates versus no ITC, no inter-state sales and no tax invoices. Includes the cases where composition quietly costs more.
- QRMP scheme explained — Quarterly filing with monthly payment for turnover up to ₹5 crore: due dates for Gujarat, the IFF for B2B invoices, and when monthly filing is actually the safer choice.
Filing without mistakes
- GSTR-1 vs GSTR-3B — What each return does, how they must reconcile, and why the July 2025 hard-locking of GSTR-3B made GSTR-1 accuracy the whole game. Explains GSTR-1A corrections.
- GST late fees and interest — The per-day fees, the turnover-based caps, 18% and 24% interest, and the three-year bar that can make an unfiled return permanently unfixable. Useful for sizing a backlog before you clear it.
Selling online
- GST for online sellers — Why marketplace goods sellers need registration regardless of turnover, the narrow intra-state exemption, 0.5% TCS mechanics, and the reconciliation habit that prevents notices.
Exports
- GST LUT explained — Zero-rated exports without upfront IGST: who qualifies, the annual renewal before 31 March, and the timelines you commit to (export in 3 months, payment within a year for services).
When things go wrong
- GST notices explained — A field guide to GSTR-3A, ASMT-10, DRC-01 and the registration notices, each with its reply form and deadline. The point it hammers: no notice improves by being ignored.
- GST cancellation vs suspension — What suspension means, how department cancellation proceeds from REG-17, the revocation route back, and how to exit cleanly with REG-16 and GSTR-10 when closure is the right answer.
