Tax Filing Agent (GST)
Your morning involves logging into the GST portal to file GSTR-3B for 15 small business clients before the monthly deadline, cross-checking each client's sales data against their purchase invoices to calculate net tax payable and ITC claims accurately. Afternoons are spent reconciling GSTR-2A auto-populated data for a retail client, resolving a mismatch notice received from the GST authority, and consulting a newly registered importer on reverse charge mechanism applicability.
