GST (Goods & Services Tax) Services

Introduction to GST in India

From its conception in 2017, and its GST 2.0 transformation in 2025-26, GST has totally revolutionized commerce in India. GST is a destination-based multi-stage Value Added Tax system that replaced a range of indirect taxes, such as Excise Duty, VAT, Service Tax. Currently, in the fiscal year 2026, the GST portal has transformed itself into a very advanced platform utilizing AI & ML to guarantee that "Input Tax Credit" (ITC) is available only for legitimate claimants.

While most accounting firms claim to "file returns," at Ruchi Anand & Associates, we do GST Lifecycle Management. As far as any modern business entity is concerned, GST is not only a tax but a significant cash flow element. Any small glitch in your GSTR-2B or late filing of return by your supplier can jeopardize your ITC. Ruchi Anand & Associates GST experts protect your tax flow and your ITC.

The GST Council has rationalized the tax slabs to simplify the cost of doing business. The current categories are:
