Tax Filings
Tax Filings are mandatory submissions to the Income Tax Department or GST authorities to report income, transactions, and tax liabilities. These filings ensure compliance with the applicable tax laws, provide clarity on tax obligations, and help claim refunds or benefits. Tax filings encompass both Direct Taxes (e.g., Income Tax) and Indirect Taxes (e.g., GST).
Tax filings help the government monitor income, enforce compliance, and collect revenue efficiently. Filing tax returns is not just a statutory obligation but also essential for businesses and individuals to avoid penalties, claim benefits, and maintain a clean financial record.
