WE'RE HERE TO SERVEGST Consultancy Services

GST replaced Service Tax, VAT, Central Excise and the other indirect tax laws on 1 July 2017, bringing them under one levy. Since then, every business has had to pay tax on time, file returns on schedule, and keep its records clean. A missed deadline or a wrong classification attracts interest and penalties.

The compliance chain runs from issuing a correct tax invoice and collecting the right rate, to depositing the tax and filing returns in the prescribed format. An error at any link, whether in day-to-day compliance or in how a provision is interpreted, can turn into a heavy tax demand years later.

CNC Associates handles the full spread of GST work: advising on the correct rate for your supplies, checking that input tax credit is availed and utilised correctly, preparing and filing returns, and managing refund applications. When a notice or assessment arrives, we draft the reply, prepare the appeal, file it before the appropriate authority, and represent you before the GST authorities.

In practice, GST consultancy covers everything from registration and return filing to tax planning, audits, and dispute resolution. The consultant’s job is to interpret the law and apply it to how your business actually operates.

Services also include taxability analysis, classification review, Input Tax Credit (ITC) optimization, compliance audits, documentation review, and litigation handling.

Our review focuses on three questions: did you charge the right tax, did you deposit it, and did you claim only the credit you were entitled to. Getting those three right prevents most disputes before they start.

Key factors for GST Consultancy are as follows:

• GST Registration: At CNC, we provide handholding to clients in smooth registration process.
• Return Filing: At CNC, we assist clients in preparation, computing tax and filing monthly/quarterly returns accurately and on time.
• Input Tax Credit (ITC): This is most crucial and important aspect, at CNC, we assist in checking eligible credit, right availment and utilization of ITC by the client.
• Audit & Assessment Support: Assisting during government audits and inspections.
• Advisory & Training: Keeping businesses updated on frequent GST law changes.

Foreign companies transacting in India often do not know whether GST applies to them at all, and several exemptions go unclaimed simply because nobody checked. We evaluate the tax implications of a transaction before you commit to it, review the contract language, and confirm ITC eligibility and the applicable rate.

We also advise on restructurings, mergers, expansions, and cross-border transactions.

Disputes under GST arise from tax demands, ITC disallowances, penalty proceedings, classification questions, and refund rejections. We represent clients at every stage, from the first departmental notice to the appellate forums.

That includes drafting replies to show cause notices and orders, and appearing before the GST authorities on your behalf. If your business faces a search or investigation by Anti-Evasion or the DGGI, we stay with you through the proceedings.

Much of litigation is won on paperwork. We compile the supporting evidence, build the documentation trail, and present the legal argument in a form the adjudicating authority can act on.

Exporters can claim a refund of the GST paid on their inputs under Section 54 of the CGST Act read with Rule 89. In practice, refunds get delayed or rejected over reconciliation mismatches and documentation gaps, and your working capital sits blocked in the meantime. We prepare the application, verify the documents, reconcile input and output records, and follow up with the department until the money reaches your account.
