Introduction to GST Basics for Freelancers and Small Business Owners
GST touches almost every freelancer and small business owner in India the moment their income crosses a threshold, yet most learn it the hard way, through a notice or a rejected input tax credit claim. This course builds GST from the ground up: what it actually is, when you must register, how to invoice correctly, how to claim back tax you have paid, whether the composition scheme suits you, and how to file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B without missing a deadline. Every example uses Indian context, real thresholds, and real portal steps.
