Questions from clients in Goregaon
Is there a chartered accountant near Goregaon?
Vaz & Associates is in Borivali West and works with clients in Goregaon, mostly remotely. Call +91 95384 16161 or email ryan@vazassociates.in to discuss your requirement.
Should a freelancer opt for presumptive taxation?
Eligible professionals can declare income at a prescribed percentage of gross receipts instead of maintaining full books, subject to conditions and limits. Whether it is beneficial depends on actual expenses, receipts and other income, so it is worth comparing both options each year.
Do freelancers working for foreign clients need to charge GST?
Services supplied to clients outside India can qualify as export of services, which is zero-rated under GST if conditions are met, including receipt of payment in foreign exchange. Registered suppliers usually export under a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) without paying IGST.
Can TDS deducted by production houses be claimed back?
TDS deducted on professional fees is credited against your tax liability when it appears in Form 26AS. If the total TDS is more than the tax payable, the excess is refunded after the return is processed.
