I’m a freelancer working with multiple clients across different states. How should I handle GST on my services? What are the best practices for charging GST on my invoices, especially when working with clients in other states?

Ans: Get GST number based on your place of work. Issue proper Invoices for all transactions, which may be in any State of India. Don't forget to charge GST on the same at applicable rate & then deposit the GST with the department. You will also have to file proper GST Returns, which are applicable in your case.
Most Welcome for any further clarification. Thanks.

Dear Sir, Am kuldeep running freelance business last 8 years my income is cross 20+ lakh should i opt for GST and how do i monitor saving if GST filling and CA fees goes high and if run short of savings due huge committed for loans EMI

Ans: You would need to register for GST if you cross the threshold.
Today, technology makes it easier for govt agencies to get this information. You run a larger risk of penalties in case non compliance is discovered by the department. Anyways you can raise bills with GST and collect it from your clients.

HI, I started a consultancy service and my billing per annum would be nearly 40 lacs or more some times if all goes well, my consultancy services is for a clients in european continent. so all the revenue will be billed in usd or euro, mainly usd. will i be liable to pay gst on the consultancy charges received or can i opt under exempt, since it fall under export services, pls guide me - Anand kris

Ans: Hi Anand, you are on the right track. Getting European clients is a success by itself in the consultancy field. All foreign remittances are tax free in India. Only you may have to inform your bank about receiving of foreign funds. I would suggest you still consult a tax expert or CA who would guide you in this matter as far as compliance is concerned. Best wishes Dr Radhakrishnan Pillai

I am in the process of buying raw materials from different states for my manufacturing unit. How does the GST structure affect inter-state purchases, and how can I reclaim the input tax credit (ITC) on these transactions?

Ans: 01. All purchases, may be from different states, should have your GST number on it, so that your GST paid is reflected in GSTR-2B.
02. While filing your GST Returns, you can off set your GST liability with the ITC, as reflected in GSTR-2B.
03. Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks
