06 March 2024 if you earning below 75 lacs, then it is better to offer tax under presumptive regime. The presumptive income, depending on the business code, will be 6/8% if it is business income or 50% if it is professional income.

The tax on it shall be at slab rate.

GST is simple. once your turnover crosses 20 lakhs, take GST registration and charge 18% on all invoice thereafter.

You need to file your GST returns, mostly on quarterly basis.

Ideally, hire a financial consultant to ensure that your GST and Income-tax filings are done correctly.
