An online CA firm in Ahmedabad that keeps your returns in step
GST, income tax, TDS, audit support and books for Ahmedabad traders, manufacturers, professionals and salaried people, handled online by TaxCaller India LLP since 2018.
In short: TaxCaller works as an online CA firm in Ahmedabad for GST returns, income tax, TDS, audit support and bookkeeping. You send papers on WhatsApp or email, we settle questions on a call, and every filing goes through the government portal. The fee is told before work starts.
Most people who look for a CA firm in Ahmedabad are not short of accountants nearby. What they are short of is someone who picks up the phone in the third week of the month, reconciles GSTR-2B before the 20th and tells them about a mismatch before the department does. That is the gap we try to fill.
We are TaxCaller India LLP, in practice since 2018, with a network of qualified Chartered Accountants and tax experts. Our office is in Ghaziabad, and we handle Ahmedabad files online. Nobody has to drive from Maninagar to a CA office on Ashram Road with a bag of bills. A photo of the purchase register, a bank statement PDF and a ten minute call usually get the month moving.
Ahmedabad work has its own flavour. A cloth merchant in Maskati Market sells on 60 to 90 days credit and gives post-sale discounts. A dye or pharma unit at Vatva or Odhav sends material out for job work and claims refunds on inverted duty. A family runs a proprietorship, a partnership and a private limited company from the same pedhi, with loans moving between them. A salaried engineer at Sanand pays Gujarat professional tax and has RSUs or mutual fund gains to report. Each of these needs a slightly different eye.
What we take on for Ahmedabad clients
- Monthly or quarterly GST return filing with GSTR-2B and IMS checks before you pay tax.
- ITR for individuals, HUFs, firms, LLPs and companies, including capital gains and business income.
- TDS deduction advice, challans and quarterly returns.
- Books of account, tax audit coordination and year-end finalisation.
- Replies to GST and income tax notices, drafted with you before submission.
One honest note. We are not the right fit if you want someone to sit in your shop every Saturday. We are a good fit if you want clean returns, quick answers on WhatsApp and one team that keeps your GST, ITR and books telling the same story. The first call is free, and you decide after that.
What a CA firm in Ahmedabad should actually do for you each month
A good CA does the boring monthly work on time so that the yearly return has no surprises.
Ask ten Ahmedabad traders what their CA does and most will say "files GST and ITR". The filing is the last five minutes. The real work happens before it.
| Week of the month | What we do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1st to 7th | Collect sales and purchase data, deposit TDS of the previous month by the 7th | Late TDS deposit attracts interest from the date of deduction |
| 8th to 11th | Prepare and file GSTR-1 (monthly filers) or upload invoices in IFF (QRMP filers, by the 13th) | Your buyers see their credit only after you file |
| 12th to 18th | Download GSTR-2B (generated on the 14th), act on invoices in IMS, list missing supplier bills | Credit not in GSTR-2B cannot be claimed in GSTR-3B |
| 19th to 22nd | File GSTR-3B (20th monthly, 22nd quarterly in Gujarat) and pay tax | Interest at 18% a year runs on late cash payment |
| Month end | Bank reconciliation, ledger clean-up, note big transactions | Keeps the year-end close short |
Done like this, the March close takes days, not weeks. When the tax audit starts in August, the auditor finds a reconciled ledger instead of a shoebox.
A common case: a grey cloth trader on Ring Road came to us after his previous accountant filed GSTR-3B from the sales register only and claimed input credit from purchase bills, without matching GSTR-2B. Two years later he received a DRC-01C intimation for excess credit. We rebuilt the month-wise match, showed which suppliers had filed late and which never had, and paid only the genuine shortfall. Monthly matching would have avoided the whole exercise.

Gujarat-specific rules your Ahmedabad CA should mention without being asked
GST and income tax are central laws, but some registrations, offices and dates are specific to Gujarat.
These are the local points we check on every new Ahmedabad file. If an adviser never brings them up, ask why.
| Point | Gujarat position |
|---|---|
| GST state code | 24, the first two digits of every Gujarat GSTIN |
| State GST administration | Commissionerate of Commercial Taxes, Gujarat |
| Quarterly GSTR-3B (QRMP) | Due on the 22nd of the month after the quarter (Gujarat is in the 22nd group) |
| Professional tax law | Gujarat State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employment Act, 1976 |
| PT on salary | Nil up to ₹12,000 a month, ₹200 a month above that |
| Employer PT registration | Certificate of Registration within 60 days of becoming liable |
| Registrar of Companies | ROC Ahmedabad, for companies and LLPs registered in Gujarat |
Professional tax trips up small employers
The moment you pay any employee more than ₹12,000 a month, you must deduct ₹200 from that salary and deposit it. Many new clinic owners, small startups and showroom owners in Satellite or Prahladnagar learn this only when an inspector asks for the registration number. The employer registers for a Certificate of Registration. A proprietor or professional may separately need a Certificate of Enrolment for their own liability, payable by 30 September if enrolled before 31 August.
Employers with 20 or fewer staff can opt for an annual return in Form 5-AA, but the tax is still paid quarterly. Larger employers file the monthly Form 5. Employers with several workplaces can apply for a consolidated return.
Salaried readers: the ₹2,400 a year of PT deducted by your employer is allowed as a deduction only under the old tax regime. Under the new regime it gives no tax benefit.
Textile traders and garment units: GST points after the September 2025 rate change
From 22 September 2025, readymade garments up to ₹2,500 a piece moved to 5% GST and costlier pieces to 18%, so per-piece billing now decides the rate.
The cloth trade is still the heartbeat of the old city. Ratanpole, Maskati Cloth Market, New Cloth Market and Sumel Business Park move huge volumes on thin margins. The rate change of 22 September 2025 helped the trade, but it also created new billing mistakes.
| Item | GST from 22 Sept 2025 | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Man-made fibre | 5% (earlier 18%) | Old stock credit at 18% may now sit unused |
| Man-made fibre yarn | 5% (earlier 12%) | Check rate on purchase bills dated after the change |
| Cotton and most woven fabrics | 5% | HSN on each bill must match the actual fabric |
| Readymade garments up to ₹2,500 a piece | 5% | Rate is per piece, not per invoice total |
| Readymade garments above ₹2,500 a piece | 18% | Discounts shown on the bill can move a piece across the line |
We often get calls from garment wholesalers whose billing software applies one rate to the whole invoice. A bill with forty kurtis at ₹1,800 and four sherwanis at ₹6,500 needs two rates. Wrong rates surface later in the annual return or in a buyer's complaint.
Job work and inverted duty
Grey fabric sent to a process house in Narol for dyeing can move on a delivery challan without tax. Inputs must come back within one year. Movements are reported in ITC-04: half-yearly if your turnover is above ₹5 crore, otherwise once a year. Where your input tax is higher than output tax, unused credit can be claimed as a refund in RFD-01 within two years. We prepare the refund working by formula and keep the invoice trail ready, because officers usually ask for it.
Our GST consultant service covers rate reviews and refund files of this kind.
Chemical, dye and pharma units at Vatva, Odhav and Naroda: what we watch
Factory clients need e-invoicing, TDS on purchases, export paperwork and stock valuation handled together, not as separate jobs.
The GIDC estates in the east of the city, Vatva, Odhav and Naroda among them, host chemical, pharmaceutical, textile processing and engineering units. They buy from many small suppliers and sell to a few large buyers. That pattern brings its own risks.
- E-invoicing. Required once aggregate turnover crosses ₹5 crore in any year since 2017-18. If your turnover is ₹10 crore or more, the e-invoice must be reported on the IRP within 30 days of the invoice date, or the IRN will not be generated.
- TDS on purchase of goods (section 194Q). A buyer with turnover above ₹10 crore deducts 0.1% on purchases from a seller beyond ₹50 lakh in a year. TCS under section 206C(1H) was removed from 1 April 2025, so check that your software has stopped charging it.
- Exports under LUT. File the LUT in RFD-11 at the start of each year. Link every shipping bill to its invoice and bank realisation.
- Stock. Raw material, work in progress and finished goods must be valued the same way every year. Banks and auditors both check this.
MSME payments and section 43B(h)
This one hurt many Ahmedabad units in the first year. If you buy from a micro or small manufacturer or service provider registered on Udyam, and pay beyond 45 days (with a written agreement) or 15 days (without one), the expense is allowed only in the year you actually pay. Suppliers registered as traders are generally outside this rule. We tag MSME suppliers in your ledger and show overdue bills before 31 March, so you can decide to pay or accept the add-back.
For units that need a full tax audit, our accounting and bookkeeping team prepares the books and schedules your auditor will ask for and keep TDS returns in line with the ledger.
Mistakes we fix most often in Ahmedabad files
Most notices we see in Ahmedabad come from a handful of repeat errors, and almost all of them are preventable.
These come up again and again when a new client sends us old returns. None of them needs a lawyer. All of them need time if left for two years.
- Turnover that differs across returns. GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, the ITR and bank credits show four different figures. The income tax system compares them, and so does the GST system. We prepare a turnover bridge every year that explains each difference.
- Credit claimed on bills from suppliers who never filed. Common in the cloth trade, where a small agent sells on behalf of a weaver. The fix is a supplier-wise check against GSTR-2B and a hold on payment until the supplier files.
- Family loans with no paper trail. Money moves from a father's account to the firm and back. Without confirmations and bank entries, an officer may treat it as unexplained credit. We keep a loan register with signed confirmations.
- Cash receipts above ₹2 lakh. Section 269ST prohibits receiving ₹2 lakh or more in cash from one person for one transaction or in one day. Wedding season sales in jewellery and clothing break this often. The penalty equals the amount received.
- PT registration never taken. The employer deducted ₹200 from salary but never registered or deposited it. We register, calculate arrears with interest and regularise.
- Old regime claimed without proof. Salaried taxpayers claim HRA or 80C in the ITR that the employer did not allow, with no rent receipts. This draws a mismatch notice.
If you have already received a DRC-01B, DRC-01C or an income tax notice under section 143(1)(a), do not ignore the reply window. Send it to us on WhatsApp the same day.
How do salaried people and professionals in Ahmedabad pick the right ITR?
Pick the form by your income sources, not by habit. The wrong form makes the return defective.
We see engineers from the Sanand auto belt, bank officers, doctors with clinics in Navrangpura and young professionals with ESOPs. Each needs a different form.
| Your income | Form usually needed | Usual due date |
|---|---|---|
| Salary, one house, interest, total up to ₹50 lakh, LTCG on listed equity up to ₹1.25 lakh | ITR-1 | 31 July |
| Salary plus capital gains above that, two houses, foreign shares or RSUs | ITR-2 | 31 July |
| Clinic, consultancy or trading income with books | ITR-3 | 31 August (non-audit) |
| Small business or profession under presumptive tax | ITR-4 | 31 August (non-audit) |
| Business or profession needing tax audit | ITR-3 or ITR-5 | 31 October usually; 21 November 2026 for FY 2025-26 after the CBDT extension |
The 31 August date for non-audit ITR-3 and ITR-4 filers came in from the 2026 filing season. The government sometimes extends dates, so treat these as usual dates.
The regime question
For FY 2025-26, the new regime gives no tax up to ₹12 lakh of taxable income through the section 87A rebate, plus a ₹75,000 standard deduction for salaried people. The old regime still wins for some: a home loan with high interest, full HRA in a rented flat in Bodakdev and maxed-out 80C and 80D. We run both on your actual numbers.
A common case: an employee of a multinational in Ahmedabad holds US-listed RSUs. They must be reported in Schedule FA even if no shares were sold, and the dividend tax withheld in the US is claimed through Form 67, which we file on the portal along with the return. Missing Schedule FA is a serious issue under the black money law. We prepare it with the broker statements.
See our income tax filing page for the full process.
What to keep ready before you call us about an Ahmedabad file
Ten minutes of preparation saves two rounds of follow-up questions on WhatsApp.
You do not need everything on the first call. But the closer you are to this list, the faster we can quote and start.
For a business or firm
- GSTIN and portal login, or permission to work with OTP on your phone.
- Last two GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 filings, and last year's ITR acknowledgement with computation.
- Bank statements for the current year in PDF or Excel, all accounts including the overdraft.
- Sales and purchase registers from Tally, Busy or Marg, or simply the bill files.
- TAN and the last TDS return, if you deduct TDS (see our TDS return filing service).
- Gujarat PT registration and enrolment numbers, if you have them.
- Any notice received, with the date it was issued.
For a salaried person or professional
- Form 16 and the last month salary slip.
- Form 26AS and AIS downloaded from the e-filing portal (Services, Annual Information Statement).
- Capital gains statements from your broker and mutual fund registrar.
- Rent receipts, home loan interest certificate and investment proofs if you want the old regime.
| If you have | Also send |
|---|---|
| Rental property | Rent agreement, municipal tax receipt, tenant PAN if rent is high |
| Sold a flat or plot | Sale deed, purchase deed, improvement bills, TDS certificate in Form 16B |
| Foreign shares or bank account | Broker statements for the calendar year, foreign tax withheld |
| Partnership share | Firm's ITR, your capital account and remuneration details |
Send all of this on WhatsApp in one go if you can. We name and file it in a folder under your PAN so nothing gets lost.
Small traders: composition scheme or regular GST?
Composition suits a shop selling mostly to consumers within Gujarat. It suits a B2B cloth merchant poorly.
Kirana owners in Vastral and garment retailers in the old city ask this every month. The answer depends more on who buys from you than on the tax rate.
| Point | Composition | Regular |
|---|---|---|
| Turnover limit for goods | ₹1.5 crore | No limit |
| Tax for traders | 1% of turnover in Gujarat (0.5% CGST, 0.5% SGST) | As per item rate |
| Input tax credit | Not available | Available |
| Selling to other states | Not allowed | Allowed |
| Returns | CMP-08 by the 18th after each quarter, GSTR-4 by 30 April | GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B |
| Bill issued | Bill of supply, no GST charged | Tax invoice |
A retail shop in Gujarat selling to walk-in customers often saves money under composition. A wholesaler in Maskati Market usually does not, because business buyers want a tax invoice so they can claim credit. Many will simply stop buying from a composition dealer.
Switching has rules. You can opt in at the start of a financial year. If turnover crosses ₹1.5 crore or you start inter-state sales, you must move out, and stock-related credit adjustments follow. We handle the forms and the stock statement.
Starting fresh? Our GST registration process includes this decision on the first call, so you register under the right scheme from day one.
Hiring a CA firm in Ahmedabad online: how the work actually runs
You talk to us on call and WhatsApp, share files online, approve a draft and get the acknowledgement on your phone.
Some Ahmedabad business owners worry that an online CA means a call centre. It does not have to. Here is the actual flow for a new client.
- Free first call. We ask what you do, your turnover range, what is pending and whether any notice is open.
- Fee told upfront. You get the scope and fee in writing before we start. No work begins without your yes.
- Documents online. WhatsApp, email to wecare@taxcaller.com or an upload link. Photos of bills are fine if they are readable.
- Preparation and review. A tax expert prepares, and a qualified Chartered Accountant from our network reviews where the task needs one.
- Your approval. We share the computation or GST summary. Nothing is filed without your go-ahead.
- Filing and records. Filed on the GST, income tax, TRACES or MCA portal. Acknowledgement and challans come back to your WhatsApp.
We serve Ahmedabad the way we serve the rest of India: fully online, with no office visit needed. That suits people who spend the day at a site in Changodar or a counter in Relief Road and can only answer questions after 7 PM. Our desk works Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 6 PM, and a message sent at night gets picked up next morning.
Questions worth asking any firm: who reviews my return, will I see a draft, how are notices charged, and will I get every working paper. We answer all four on the first call. You can also run numbers yourself on our free tax tools before you speak to us.
What our Ahmedabad CA service covers
Take one service or all of them. Most business clients start with GST and ITR and add books and TDS later.
GST returns and reconciliation
Monthly or quarterly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, with a GSTR-2B match and IMS action before tax is paid. Annual GSTR-9, and GSTR-9C where turnover is above ₹5 crore. We tell you which suppliers are holding up your credit and by how much.
- GSTR-1, IFF and GSTR-3B
- GSTR-2B and IMS review
- GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C
- E-way bill and e-invoice checks
Income tax for individuals and businesses
ITR for salaried people, professionals, traders, partnership firms, LLPs and companies. We compare regimes, match AIS and Form 26AS, report capital gains correctly and work out advance tax for the next year so you are not hit with interest under sections 234B and 234C.
- ITR-1 to ITR-6
- Capital gains and Schedule FA
- Advance tax estimates
- Updated return in ITR-U where needed
TDS and payroll deductions
TDS on salary, rent, contractors, professionals and purchases of goods. Monthly challans by the 7th, quarterly returns in Form 24Q and 26Q (Form 138 and 140 from tax year 2026-27), and Form 16 and 16A (Form 130 and 131) for your staff and vendors. We also keep Gujarat professional tax deductions in step with payroll.
- Form 138, 140 and 144 (earlier 24Q, 26Q, 27Q)
- Form 130 and 131 (earlier 16 and 16A)
- Lower deduction checks
- Gujarat PT deposits
Bookkeeping and year-end accounts
Ledgers in Tally or the software you already use, bank reconciliation, stock records and final accounts. Family businesses with several entities get one view of inter-firm loans and capital so the figures agree across every return and every balance sheet.
- Monthly ledger posting
- Bank and party reconciliation
- Stock and fixed asset registers
- Balance sheet and P&L
Audit support
Books, schedules and confirmations ready for your tax audit under section 44AB, and for statutory audit if you run a company. We coordinate with the auditor, answer queries and make sure the audit report figures match what goes into the ITR, due by 21 November 2026 for FY 2025-26 (usually 31 October).
- Tax audit schedules
- MSME and 43B(h) review
- Statutory audit coordination
- Clause-wise checks
Notice replies
GST notices such as DRC-01B and DRC-01C, ASMT-10 scrutiny, and income tax intimations under section 143(1) or notices for mismatch. We read the notice, list what the officer wants, draft the reply, share it with you and file it within the time allowed.
- GST scrutiny replies
- Income tax mismatch responses
- Rectification requests
- Personal hearing preparation
When Ahmedabad clients usually call us
These are the moments that most often lead to a first call.
Your turnover crossed a GST limit
Suppliers of goods in Gujarat must register once turnover crosses ₹40 lakh in a year, service providers at ₹20 lakh. Inter-state sellers of goods register regardless of turnover.
You hired your first employees
Payroll brings Gujarat professional tax, TDS on salary if pay crosses the taxable limit, and possibly PF and ESI. Getting these right from the first month avoids arrears.
A notice has arrived
GST and income tax notices carry a reply window, often 15 to 30 days. A reply drafted by someone who reads the numbers carefully usually closes the matter at the first stage.
You are close to the tax audit limit
Business turnover above ₹1 crore (or ₹10 crore with cash under 5%) needs a tax audit. Planning in December gives time to clean up books before the auditor starts.
You sold property or shares
Capital gains need the right holding period, indexation choice where allowed and reinvestment planning under sections 54 or 54F. Decide before the sale, not after.
What changes when a CA handles it
Practical gains our Ahmedabad clients notice in the first few months.
Documents an Ahmedabad business or taxpayer usually shares
Send what you have. We will ask for anything missing after the first look.
Don't have everything? Send what you have on WhatsApp — our expert will tell you what's missing.
Send documents on WhatsApp- PAN of the business and of each partner, director or proprietor
- GSTIN and GST portal access, or OTP help when we log in
- Sales and purchase registers or bill files for the period
- Bank statements for all accounts, including overdraft and loan accounts
- Previous year ITR acknowledgement, computation and audit report if any
- Form 16, Form 26AS and AIS for salaried persons
- TAN and last TDS return filed
- Gujarat professional tax registration or enrolment certificate
- Capital gains statements from broker and mutual fund registrar
- Rent agreements, loan statements and investment proofs
- Copy of any GST or income tax notice received
Clear phone photos are accepted for bills. For bank statements, PDFs downloaded from net banking work better than scanned paper copies, because figures can be checked faster.

- 1
Free call and scope
We understand your business, past filings and anything pending. You get the scope and the fee before agreeing to anything.

Documents shared online
You send papers on WhatsApp, email or an upload link. We check them the same or next working day and list any gaps.

- 4
Your approval
We share the draft computation or GST summary on WhatsApp and explain the figures on a call if you want.
- 5
Filing and handover
Filed on the portal. Acknowledgement, challan copies and working papers are sent to you and kept in your folder.

With TaxCaller or doing it yourself
Plenty of Ahmedabad owners file their own returns. Here is an honest view of where a CA saves time and where the risk sits.
| TaxCaller | Others | |
|---|---|---|
| GSTR-2B and IMS match | Checked every month before GSTR-3B is filed | Easy to skip when the 20th is close |
| Rate after Sept 2025 changes | Item and per-piece rates reviewed in your billing setup | Software defaults may still use old rates |
| Turnover across returns | Bridge prepared between GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, ITR and bank | Differences often noticed only after a notice |
| Gujarat professional tax | Registration, deduction and returns tracked with payroll | Often missed by small employers |
| Regime comparison for ITR | Both regimes worked out on your actual numbers | Usually decided by guess or last year's choice |
| Notice replies | Drafted, shared for approval and filed in time | Possible, but takes hours to understand the format |
Questions Ahmedabad clients ask a CA
Short, direct answers to what we are asked most on calls from Ahmedabad.
Can a CA firm in Ahmedabad handle my GST without me visiting the office?
Yes, completely. You share sales and purchase data on WhatsApp or email, we log in to the GST portal with your OTP or saved access, prepare GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, send you a summary and file after your approval. Payment of tax is made by you through the portal challan, and the acknowledgement reaches your phone the same day.
Is professional tax compulsory for small employers in Ahmedabad?
Yes, once you pay any employee more than ₹12,000 a month. You must deduct ₹200 a month from that salary, take a Certificate of Registration within 60 days of becoming liable and deposit the tax. Employers with 20 or fewer staff may opt for an annual return, though tax is still paid quarterly under the Gujarat rules.
What GST rate applies to garments sold by Ahmedabad wholesalers now?
It depends on the price of each piece. From 22 September 2025, readymade garments up to ₹2,500 a piece carry 5% GST and costlier pieces carry 18%. The rate is decided per piece, not per invoice. Your billing software must split rates within one bill when it mixes cheaper and costlier items.
Which ROC handles companies registered in Ahmedabad?
The Registrar of Companies, Ahmedabad handles companies and LLPs registered in Gujarat. Annual filings such as AOC-4, MGT-7 and ADT-1 for companies, or Form 8 and Form 11 for LLPs, are filed online on the MCA portal. You never need to visit the ROC office for routine compliance, as every form goes online.
Do Ahmedabad taxpayers file quarterly GSTR-3B by the 22nd or the 24th?
Gujarat taxpayers under the QRMP scheme file quarterly GSTR-3B by the 22nd of the month after the quarter. Monthly filers use the 20th. QRMP filers still pay tax monthly through PMT-06 by the 25th for the first two months. Dates can be extended by notification, so we check the portal before every deadline.
How long does a CA take to file my ITR from Ahmedabad?
Usually 2 to 3 working days after all papers are with us. Salaried returns with Form 16 and AIS are often faster. Returns with capital gains, foreign shares or business income take longer, because we match broker statements and books first. A draft computation comes to you before filing, and you approve it.
Can you reply to a DRC-01C notice my Ahmedabad business received?
Yes. A DRC-01C intimation means the credit in your GSTR-3B is higher than GSTR-2B. We list the supplier-wise difference, separate genuine late filings from real excess, and reply in Part B with reasons or pay the shortfall through DRC-03. Replying within the given window matters, otherwise further GSTR-1 filing can get blocked.
Do I need a tax audit if my Ahmedabad trading turnover is ₹4 crore?
Not always. Tax audit applies above ₹1 crore turnover, but the limit rises to ₹10 crore if cash receipts and cash payments are each within 5% of the total. A trader with mostly bank receipts and ₹4 crore turnover may not need one. We check your cash ratio from the books before deciding.
Is section 43B(h) a problem for Ahmedabad textile traders?
It can be. If you buy from a micro or small manufacturer registered on Udyam and pay after 45 days (with a written agreement) or 15 days (without one), the purchase is allowed only when paid. Suppliers registered as traders are generally outside this rule. We tag such suppliers and flag overdue bills before March.
Should an Ahmedabad salaried employee choose the old or new tax regime?
For many, the new regime is cheaper, since it gives no tax up to ₹12 lakh of taxable income for FY 2025-26 through the rebate. The old regime still suits people with a large home loan, full HRA and complete 80C and 80D claims. We work out both on your actual Form 16 figures.
What does it cost to get a CA in Ahmedabad for monthly GST and books?
The fee depends on invoice volume, number of bank accounts and whether TDS and payroll are included. We tell you the exact fee on the free first call, before any work starts. Government fees, late fees and interest, if any, are separate and are paid by you directly on the official portal.
Can you handle income tax for my whole family business in Ahmedabad?
Yes. Many Ahmedabad families run a proprietorship, a partnership and a company together, with loans moving between them. We keep all entities and family members in one view, so capital, loans and interest match across every return. Confirmations are kept on file in case an officer asks about inter-firm or family transactions.
