Why this matters for freelancers & consultants
Freelancers across India — designers, writers, developers, consultants, marketers — face complex compliance: GST mandatory above ₹20 lakh, Section 44ADA presumptive taxation up to ₹50 lakh, foreign client invoicing under LUT, FEMA compliance for inward remittance, and structure decisions (sole prop vs OPC vs LLP). FilingLab handles full freelancer compliance with first-time-filer focus.

If receipts > ₹15-20 lakh, yes — limited liability + lower tax rate (22% under new corporate regime) often beats slab tax (30% above ₹15 lakh).
Zero-rated export. File LUT (annual) to invoice without GST and claim ITC refund. Saves 18% friction on every invoice.
