GST Made Easy: Step-by-Step e-Filing Strategies for Businesses

Introduction

Navigating the intricacies of Goods and Services Tax (GST) often poses a significant challenge for businesses. However, armed with the right strategies and a comprehensive step-by-step tax filing guide, the GST process can become more manageable. In this blog, we will explore effective e-filing strategies tailored for businesses, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience. Additionally, we'll delve into essential Taxation strategies for businesses can adopt to optimize their overall tax filing process.

Understanding GST

Goods and Services Tax, commonly referred to as GST, stands as a comprehensive indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services. Compliance with GST regulations is pivotal for businesses to evade penalties and maintain a smooth flow of operations. Let's dissect the process with a detailed step-by-step guide to e-filing.

Step 1: Registration and Documentation:

The initial stride in the GST e-filing process involves ensuring that your business is duly registered under GST. Gather all necessary documents, including business registration details, PAN card, and proof of address. A robust registration process lays the groundwork for a seamless e-filing experience.

Step 2: Determine Your GST Liability:

Pinpoint the applicable GST rates for your goods and services. Accurate classification is paramount for calculating your GST liability correctly. This step guarantees compliance with GST rules and mitigates errors in your e-filing.

Step 3: Maintain Accurate Records:

Maintain meticulous records of all business transactions. Utilize accounting software to streamline the process and uphold transparent records of financial activities. This approach facilitates easy reconciliation and aids in generating precise GST returns.

Step 4: Timely Invoicing:

Issue invoices promptly, ensuring compliance with GST regulations. Include all necessary details such as GSTIN, HSN codes, and tax rates. Timely and accurate invoicing is pivotal in averting discrepancies in your e-filing.

Step 5: File Your Returns Regularly:

Regular filing of GST returns is imperative for staying compliant. Utilize the GST portal or reliable GST software to file returns accurately and on time. This step is critical to preventing late fees and maintaining an untarnished tax record.

Taxation Strategies for Businesses:

In addition to mastering the GST e-filing process, businesses can embrace effective taxation strategies to optimize their financial position. Let's explore some key strategies:

Tax Planning: Implement a robust tax planning strategy to legally minimize your tax liability. Explore available deductions, exemptions, and credits to optimize your overall tax position.

Expense Tracking: Maintain a detailed record of business expenses. Proper expense tracking enables you to claim legitimate deductions, ultimately reducing your taxable income.

Invest in Tax-Advantaged Assets: Consider investments in tax-advantaged assets to optimize your tax position. Explore options such as tax-saving mutual funds and other instruments offering tax benefits.

Utilize Tax Credits: Identify and leverage available tax credits, which may include research and development credits, energy credits, or other incentives provided by the government.

Conclusion:

Mastering GST e-filing is an integral facet of financial management for businesses. By adopting a strategic step-by-step tax filing guide and implementing effective taxation strategies, businesses can not only stay compliant but also optimize their overall tax position. Stay informed, maintain accurate records, and leverage technology to simplify the process. With these strategies in place, businesses can confidently and efficiently navigate the complex world of taxation.

US Tax Season

Hi everyone!! Idk how many people this will reach, but I wanna post some resources for US residents since tax season is here. I’m a graduate taxation student who intends to work in family/small business/non profit tax.

If taxes are really intimidating to you I don’t blame you, they’ve been made super inaccessible and hard to learn about. There are some resources out there that are really worth looking into, which I would highly recommend!

If you want to file your taxes from home and made less than $73,000 from all sources of income this year, check out the IRS Free File page. There are options to fill out all tax forms yourself without auto calculations OR an even better option which is self guided free filing platforms with auto calculations. There are multiple services that can help with the self guided forms, I’d suggest finding the best fit for you. Some may offer free federal tax returns but need payment for state tax returns.

I’d also highly recommend checking out the IRS VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program which I will be volunteering with starting next week. It’s a program ran by volunteers who have to get certified and take tests to be able to file basic/slightly advanced tax returns for individuals who made under $60,000 from all sources of income in the previous year. It’s an in person program where you’d bring all your tax forms and sit down with a volunteer who would help you file your tax return. The website linked above has another link to look for volunteer centers in your area. Some locations may need an appointment, but as far as I know most accept walk ins.

For both of these you’ll need all tax forms from the previous year (W2s, 1099s, 1098Ts, etc). If you don’t know if you’ll need it, I’d bring it as opposed to not. I don’t know how many questions I can answer because I’m still fairly new to this, but I am certified to prepare tax returns for US residents. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Yawns, g'morning.

I'm thinking about Vaxleth and episode 51, as. Most of us are, really. Holy shit.

And I think Vax's divine nature played a role in how Ludinus was able to set and bait this trap. I don't think we'd have gotten this outcome if Vax was still a mortal Champion, like his sister. Furthermore, Keyleth’s position as Voice of the Tempest was also critical here.

Let me explain: let's say some other half of a ship could have fulfilled this orb critera. If we pretend that any Champion could do (I think they needed the divine aspect of Vax's unlife but play along here), why not bait the trap for Vex, or Pike, or Scanlan, or Yasha?

Beyond the 'Vax is practically an angel now and has orb properties' angle, I think part of it is the sheer... everything that is mortal. If Percy was captured Vex would have any number of solutions - send Trinket in, attack at range, Rogue it up, or do the sensible thing and bring in friends. The living are variable, you can't count on them to behave as you need.

Ludinus loathes gods and their servants: of course he'd expect them to be predictable - and he'd be right! Vax is not all Vax anymore (see Dalen's Closet and Tal’Dorei Reborn), he's a deathless shepherd and servant of the Raven Queen. Why would he think this through? He has no life to lose, only Keyleth’s to save. You don’t need to consider how to use a shield, you just do. People shape their plans around the steady expectations of gods, their almost immutable domains, and Vax is divine enough for that to apply to him. They'd know he would behave exactly as he did. It could be argued living!Vax would as well, and there are several songs and historical records about him, so worst came to worst Ludinus could hope that this is maintained. But that's an uncertainty, and not fitting for a centuries-long plan.

And now the second part: it had to be Keyleth. They couldn't have used Vex to draw him out, I don’t think, as much as it pains me. Either the story of Dalen's Closet was limited to the guests and any lil kids who heard the Ballad of Derrig or it proves the Champion cannot willingly approach his sister. It took a Wish for that.

Vex has had five kids, spent thirty years protecting Whitestone, and has her fingers in the financial goings on of all Tal’Dorei. By no means does she have a small impact on the world: her smallest taxation decisions could mean poverty or wealth for thousands! But many of her biggest impacts on the future, on destiny, have already come to pass. Her adventures in Vox Machina, the children she bore, the decades of decisions she's already made (I doubt she'd be on the council for even a few years without changing much of her sphere to her liking.)

Keyleth is the Voice of the Tempest. She will, hopefully, live almost two thousand years. Imagine all the lives she will impact in that time! Directly! The Matron must be so familiar with her strand of fate because it touches so many, many others!

Even if Vax, somehow, did not remember her. Even if he was a shell of himself. This is someone the Matron cannot let die before her time (hopefully a thousand plus years from now). This is one person she would have to bend the rules for and see saved, and there's just the man for the job. She would not allow intervention for Vex, or Percy, or those nieces and nephews Vax surely watches. Not Velora, not Scanlan, not Gilmore. Keyleth, with centuries of work to do in this world, with generations to guide, is too valuable.

What I'm saying is... literally no other ship could have pulled this off. None. This was built for Vaxleth, from its very bones. You could have, say, an AU where Vex is the Champion of Ravens (wink), and this would not be certain enough for Ludinus to bank on it. Very likely, but not assured (the Matron could refuse to intervene, or they could intervene in a less 'take me instead you lil red-storm shit' way, etc.).

Evil plans bank on the inevitable. Gravity, greed, time. Their love is inevitable, a law of nature.

It could not have been anyone else

Tax Day is Monday, April 15th... just 4 days away ‼️ 💸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Follow this outline for an easy-to-understand guide on how to participate in war tax resistance this year. If you are unable to participate in war tax resistance but still wish to legally protest, please see slide #7. We want to encourage people to think big and act with courage, but we also understand not everyone can resist in the same way, so we wanted to provide several measures of resistance and resistance support in our Act I — War Tax Resistance — Tax Blackout 2024 Campaign.  ���⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our #TaxBlackout goal is 50 million people... with 16% of the U.S. population participating with at least 5% being redirected to vetted emergency relief in Gaza, Washington D.C. will receive a message loud and clear:  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We will not fund Genocide and Imperialism!

transcript of all slides under the cut

slide 1: Act I Tax Resistance

by @ WTP.resist / We the People

The Tax Blackout 2024 Guide

Tax Resistance

slide 2: Is It Illegal?

Taking any type of direct resistance or civil disobedience action for peace often means taking risks. War tax resistance is no exception.

Since World War I, only two war tax resisters (James Otsuka (1949) and J. Tony Serra (2005)) have been brought into Federal court, convicted, or jailed because of war tax resistance. Most resisters have been taken to court for failure to file, "falsifying" 1040 forms, contempt of court (by refusing to produce records), or (in the early 1970s) "fraudulently" claiming too many dependents on their W-4 form.

slide 3: Filing And Refusing - Step-By-Step

How to File as a War Tax Resister (typical process):

1. File your Form 1040 on or before April 15

Fill out the form per IRS filing instructions. To avoid being considered a "frivolous filer" (an IRS category) and being subject to frivolous filing penalties, do not make claims or write your thoughts on the form.

2. You can enclose a letter that explains your refusal to pay part (or all) of your taxes

Many war tax resisters send letters to explain their refusal to pay is an act of conscience, of civil disobedience. War tax resistance is about refusal to pay for war, not promoting tax evasion or challenging the constitutionality of taxation or war taxes.

slide 4: Filing And Refusing - Step-By-Step

3. Refusal Options:

Refuse a symbolic amount, a percentage (at least 5%), or refuse all of the federal income tax (see next slides).

4. Withholding Adjustments:

Salaried employees can increase the # of deductions on their W-4 form at any time to owe federal income taxes on April 15, and then can choose how much you want to refuse. Take the form home fill it out and return only the first page of the form, not the worksheet (page 3), to your employer. If you are self-employed and don't use a W-4 form, you must adjust the amount of estimated taxes you pay quarterly to resist when you file.

slide 5: Methods Of Resistance

1. File and Refuse to Pay

This involves filling out a 1040 form and refusing to pay either a token amount of your taxes (we are asking at least 5%) a percentage representing a "military" portion, or the total amount (since a portion of whatever is paid still goes to the military).

2. Refuse to File a Tax Return

NWTRCC recommends filing your taxes or the IRS will file on your behalf. They cannot garnish wages until the tax debt has been assessed, which can take some time. The statute of limitations begins at the point the tax is assessed.

slide 6: Methods Of Resistance Continued

3. Earn Less Than The Taxable Income

This can involve having such a low income that you are not required to file federal income tax returns (approximately $12,550 for a single person in 2021), or it can mean filing and taking deductions so that no income tax is owed.

4. Tariffs and Excise Taxes

Today, thousands of people continue to "Hang Up On War" by refusing to pay the small amount on their local telephone bill listed as "Federal Excise Tax" or "Federal Tax." This federal excise tax, like many others, pays into the general fund of the U.S. government - the same place your federal income taxes go. The monies in the general fund help to pay for the Pentagon, the militarization of our culture, and war.

slide 7: Ways To Legally Resist

Send a letter of protest with your 1040 tax form. Enclose it along with (but do not staple it to) your form. Send copies to your elected officials.

Write letters to editors protesting taxes for war, especially when people are thinking about taxes during tax filing season between January and April.

Write a message of protest on the check you send with your tax forms.

Pay the tax with hundreds of small-denomination checks or coins.

Lobby for Peace Tax Fund legislation that would allow conscientious objectors to pay taxes to a fund that would not be used for military spending.

you keep mentioning making money off of games like hsr but how? im dying to know

All right I'll make a proper post about this lmfao. May I present

The Invalid's Guide to Making Money Off Mobile Games

(Please note I'm using my affiliate links, so if you click through and join up I will get rewarded at no cost to you.)

The primary way that I make money is through Swagbucks. (I also use Inbox Dollars, but I tend to use Swagbucks more for different deals. They're both owned by the same parent company.) Swagbucks is a survey website, but they also offer affiliate deals with mobile games. For proof that I'm not grifting, here is my profile.

Each swagbuck (SB) is a penny, so 100 is a dollar, 1000 is 10 dollars. As you can see as of posting this, I've earned 121, 297 SB or $1,212.97 since I started in January. I play various mobile games for a few hours every day, but I took a break for about a month and a half since I was getting burned out. I cash out to Paypal usually, but you can get a bunch of different gift cards, it's nice to be able to directly get people gift cards for their birthdays through the website.

There are a ton of different offers to choose from, from various sponsors of varying levels of credibility. They'll offer to complete different checkpoints within the game for SB within a certain amount of time.

When I'm looking for an offer to start, I'm looking for a few things in particular. The amount on offer has to be worth my time. Usually, I'm looking for offers in the $40-$150 range. Anything above that is likely to have a catch, require massive amounts of in-app purchases to complete, or is downright impossible. I always consult the swagbucks reddit to check out offers beforehand, so I don't waste my time. I also consider the time investment I'm putting in. Usually 1000 levels of a puzzle game for $35 is the minimum I'm looking for. For idle games, I'm looking more in the $50 minimum range.

This is one of the offers I'm currently working on. (the game is Klondike, for $110 total offer)

Typically with an offer in this range, I know I'm going to make a few purchases. I always try to go for stamina boosters on the cheap. I've spent about $5 so far and I'm only a week into this and already about 1/3 of the way done. I log in multiple times a day since I am, as I've stated, disabled, so I have the freedom to do so. If you do not have the ability to be so on top of things, I recommend looking at the second to last goal point, and making that your target.

Other offers are like this

(This is Ant Legion, a game I've played before). As you can see the amount on offer is significantly higher. $340 to be exact, though keep an eye out for things like "purchase X"--typically those are 1:1 rebates, so you get a boost for free. With these types of games, you're going to be making substantially more in-app purchases. When I try this offer, I'm going to budget about $40-$50 so that I'm still making a profit of about $285. Understand that there is risk involved--if I spend that money and I *don't* make it all the way to 31 in time, I'm SOL.

Swagbucks also offers gambling games. Just stay away from those. I did one and spent about $70 to make a profit of about $150, but none of it was from the app itself. They're predatory and meant to funnel in-app purchases, though again, check the reddit. There might be a couple that are legit.

Typically with Swagbucks, I like to be doing 3 offers at a time--two idle games, and one puzzle game. I'll check my idle games throughout the day to make progress, and sit and binge the puzzle games to get to the level checkpoints (Usually about 1000 levels, which isn't as bad as it sounds.)

Before I get into the next section, this is very important, please listen to me.

If you cash out for more than the minimum threshold for taxation in your country, you will owe taxes on the money you make.

You'll need to do research for your individual situation. For USAmericans, the threshold is $600. I budget about 10% of that to go into taxes, and I have a spreadsheet with receipts for in-app purchases which qualify as business expenses in this case. Here is the SB page for more info.

Next, I've just started using Mistplay after being bombarded with ads about it. generally, I like it. I'm also not saying that it's possible to double-dip SB and Mistplay rewards, because I would not do that because it's against terms and conditions, but it might be possible (though I definitely don't recommend it).

Mistplay works differently in that it offers 'units' for playing games for a certain amount of time. I've earned about 500 units in a day playing mobile games for a few hours, and minimum cash out starts at $5 for 1800 units. Overall it's a nice system that allows me to make money on more "fun" games that I'd otherwise be playing anyway without making money, such as for instance, Honkai: Star Rail which I'm planning on starting tonight. And if you do join Mistplay, this is my recruit link ;).

Overall tips:

be prepared to watch ads. I have my shit set up on multiple devices, I have a phone and a tablet with different games on each and I usually have ads going on on one screen while I'm playing merge what the fuck ever on the other. That's how they're making the money to give to you, pussy up etc.

It does take some dedication to rack up big numbers. I consider myself on a fairly relaxed grind and usually play mobile games for about four hours a day. You can try out your limits and whatnot

RESEARCH. you can download a game and test it outside of the SB tracking to try it out, or check out the subreddit. Mucho helpful information.

IF YOU DO AN OFFER and it DOES NOT TRACK CORRECTLY do not panic. Complete the offer to the best of your ability, take screenshots, and use the SB help center to request your missing SB credit. They usually get back to me within a business day with my shit in pending.

It's a slow crawl to victory. You'll be like "i am not making fucking ANYTHING." and then the next week you'll be like. pending for $100. Be patient.

Check out the other shit on the SB and Inbox Dollars websites. I occasionally do surveys for over a dollar (though I use Forthright for surveys because overall it pays better for my time.)

Good luck gamers!

And. Please don't like. blow me up about this being a scam or whatever? I see people press x to doubt but the proof is in my bank account. Or well. My medical provider's bank account now because I've been using the money to slowly pay off bills.

Barovian Tales: Tax Season

Editor’s note: Escher reference to previous Barovian Tale here.

So, there I was in my office counting my money, when there was a gentle knock at the door. I scurried my cash back into its hiding spot and said “come in.”

Gary, my Illithid barista, opened the door with his mind and floated in menacingly. “This is your yearly reminder that taxes are due tomorrow, boss.” Then he eerily floated backward out the door, shutting it once more.

Drat. I hate tax season.

The periodic shakedowns by Rahadin were bad enough, but when Strahd and his entourage showed up to Barovia with an armed escort to collect yearly tribute to “defend the land” it means we all go broke. Sure, you can try to hide your money and underpay the Devil Strahd, but that guy has been around the block and not easily fooled. You don’t want to get caught, believe me.

On the other hand, business has been down lately, and revenue has been low. If I pay Strahd’s exorbitant taxes I’ll be out of businsss.

Think, Oleksii, think.

Wait, temples and churches are tax-exempt. I just need to start a religion long enough to dodge taxation this year and stay afloat.

“Gary,” I yell as I throw open the plank of wood that serves as my office door, “organize a staff meeting, I’ve got an idea.”

Fast-forward three weeks to the big day.

Imagine if you will Barovia village, all dismal, dilapidated, and depressing as usual. Imagine the entire town, even Mad Mary, poured out onto the street with their meager offerings at their feet, all lined up side by side before an armed party from Castle Ravenloft, their faces and hands obscured, surrounding one jet-black horse carriage with two horses dark as night.

At the head of the escort stands the dread elven chamberlain, Rahadin. In one hand he carries a ledger. One of the guards sets up a chair, table, and an ink well plus quill.

The bored chamberlain opens the ledger and reads off each household one by one, commanding them to step forward. Each family presents their offerings, either cash, or payment in kind. One young man, the eldest son of Farmer Grigory, protests that the taxes are too high, and in no time the guards descend on him and beat him within an inch of his life. Rahadin does not miss a beat, and calls the next household.

Finally, Rahadin calls out my name, Oleksii.

I step forward dressed in garish, ornate robes, with little brass bells, that I spent a week sewing. The bright yellow sash across the front reads, “In Waffle We Trust”, and “Have You Accepted the Eternal Waffle As Your Personal Sav-“ the rest got cutoff by the edge of the sash.

Rahadin, visibly confused, said, “I must say, love the outfit you chose for this festive, merry occasion.”

Due to the aura of screams around him, I heard only one out three words: I love you this occasion.

Now it was my turn to be confused: “um, thank you?”

Annoyed, he moved on and began to read me my assessed taxes.

I retorted, “my lord, I have turned a new leaf and Barovian Chicken and Waffles is now the High Temple of the Eternal Waffle”.

“A temple, that worships waffles…?” said Rahadin incredulously.

“Yes my lord. It came to me in a revelation one night. While prepping one night, my kitchen was bathed in a golden-brown, syrup-colored light and a powerful voice spoke to me. It said ‘Oleksii, be not afraid, for you shall be my emissary in this world’ and behold I was awakened to the Truth! I am no longer a for-profit business, but a religious non-profit organization.”

Rahadin looked annoyed, and was about to say something when suddenly he looked back. “Our Master would like to speak to you. Come forward.”

I gulped visibly.

My knees were shaking as I approached the carriage. I could feel the cold, dark aura emanating from within. Oh crap, I was way in over my head.

From the darkness of the carriage, I heard a deep, commanding voice. “Step forward.”

I did as commanded, trying to remain calm. Inside, my insides felt like jelly.

“Guide my men and I to your temple. I wish to learn more about this new religion in my domain.”

“Yes, milord.”

Each step to the shop felt like a march. I knew I was busted. I had taken precautions, but Strahd would no doubt see right through the ruse, then who knows what?

We came to the storefront, where I had hastily painted over “Barovian Chicken and Waffles” with “Most Ancient and High Temple of the Eternal Waffle”, and had some flowers strewn about the door.

The carriage parked very close to the door and the guards encircled us, screening us from view.

The door of the carriage lurched open, and I profusely bowed as Strahd emerged. Except, it wasn’t Strahd.

“Escher?” I said.

I took 1d4+1 bludgeoning damage as he hit me upside the back of my head. “Pipe down, you idiot!” he hissed.

We hustled into temple/restaurant and closed the door. Inside, I had covered the counter with flowers and candles the Eternal Waffle. Gary stood at his post near the espresso machine, dressed in similar robes. He raised his arms and telepathically broadcasted, “praise be to the golden brown, saccharine other-planar entity that I am required by work policy to venerate.”

From the back I could hear Viktor the Pantry Ghost wailing half-hearted praises too: “praise to the Eternal Waffle, who doesn’t suck like Oleksii!”

Facepalm.

“Cut it out guys! The jig is up!”

Once we sat down, Escher pulled no punches. “You dumb peasant, this little tax evasion scheme of yours has gotten Strahd’s attention. He’s concerned about a new cult in his domain.”

“But why are you here?”

“I’ve been standing in for Strahd for decades. He hates tax collection. Only Rahadin knows it’s me. Except, thanks to you, Strahd was going to come in person this time. For that little Yuletide favor you did me, I convinced him to stay home so I could look into it.”

Swallowing hard, I said, “well, what do you suggest?”

Escher stared at me with his cold, undead eyes. “Just pay your taxes. Thanks to corporate loopholes, kickbacks, and suspect write offs, you’re only paying 4cp a year.”

“You’re right, Escher,” I said, “I am getting screwed.”

He continued to eye me expectantly.

I sighed. “Fine.”

By order of “Strahd”, the Temple was ordered shut down with the Church of the Morninglord declared the only official religion in Barovia. I paid my taxes, and restored my shop to the way it was.

That didn’t stop a number of Barovians from creating heretical Waffle cults though. Soon, pilgrims flocked to Barovian Chicken and Waffles, fighting with rival sects, branding each other apostates, and even running off on crusades through the Mists.

The homicide rate in Barovia was up, but hey, so were profits at BCnW.

Just another week in Barovia.

Epilogue: some months later, a finely written letter arrived from Castle Ravenloft. In it, Escher wrote:

The Lord himself applauds your clever scheme. But you now owe 50gp in punitive damages. Pay up, or starting delivering fried chicken and waffles to the Castle nightly.

—E

(Sad trombone) Just another week in Barovia.
