Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Today I sat with a small biz owner to figure out why he wasn't earning enough from his business. Turns out he wasn't accounting for GST twice (you need to do that if you are buying and selling forward as a trader). 

Calculating GST amount itself on total invoice value is a nightmare when you account for other things like figuring out HSN-wise tax rates and logistics. And then splitting into two for state and central tax. 

And he's still educated but weak at math and accounts. I can only imagine how much the average business owner struggles with their own accounting. Heartbreaking stuff.

GST is such a shit show

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I'm a software dev contractor and I'm working for 2 companies, having a total income of 50L per annum. 

when I consulted a CA, he mentioned that I'll have to pay 18% GST (since business income is over 20L) and will also have to pay 30% income tax. 

i understand taxes are important and all, but I'm so not willing to give 6 months of my hard work to the government. 

can anyone please advise me on what to do to save on taxes

paying 48% tax. need a CA's advice

Hi, I work with clients outside India as an independent contractor. The law says that I should have GST registration in India.

How can I set up a GST account easily? How can I manage the paperwork? Is there a software or service that does it without much headaches? How much does it cost?

If you are an over performer and doing great work at your company, I request you to also start working for yourself. You have no idea how much you can make just working directly for clients.

Alert: a rant post

Today I saw my payslip after a long time and WTH! I don't know what they'll take once bonus comes in. Paying this much for no water, bad air, corrupt babus and all those douche things.

As much as patriotic I am, this is just insane. On top of this add all the GST and sheet ton of other indirect taxes.

Living in India and paying like Europe. Wow!

Duck the government

Earning around 50 lpa at 24 is already a great feat. Still if u want to look at the dark side, nobody can help. This rant is more common than diabetes. Yet people will stress about same thing and rant to destress. Endless cycle. Either do something about it or bring some new perspective. P.S. I am in alignment with ur rant but I’ve made peace with the state of affairs as I am not looking to move out of India and I cannot strong arm govt. individually to change this.

Why is the Swiggy platform fee variable?

Swiggy is slowly becoming unusable. They have already increased minimum amount in Instamart for free delivery from 99 to 149 to 199 now. This is really becoming a problem. Is there any other alternative to this? They are slowly showing their true colours now that they are aiming profitability.

Swiggy FEE Mafia

Yeah. But that's the price you'll have to pay for convenience. They were always gonna start making money one day

Is it possible to claim tax exemption on food card allowance that is provided in the salary and not loaded in any separate food card.

I saw some google posts where they are suggesting to add in the others section of except income.

Please suggest.
