Why this matters for wedding photographers
Wedding photography in India is a ₹15,000-crore industry. Photographers earning above ₹20 lakh annually must register for GST (18% on photography services). Destination weddings add complexity — inter-state services, foreign-currency receipts, equipment depreciation. FilingLab handles photographer-specific structuring (sole prop vs OPC), Section 44ADA presumptive taxation eligibility, GST with reverse charge on equipment imports, and Form 15CA for international destination shoots.
