Union budget is coming on 1st February, 2018. The budget has been preponed this year and we are expecting a lot of relaxations and concessions particularly for the MSME Sector and middle income group citizens. Some changes are also expected in Long Term Capital Gains and relaxation of Income-Tax slabs is expected. Other relaxations to boost the economy and give relief to the beleaguered trade and industry are also expected.
The next GST Council meeting scheduled for 18th January, 2018 is expected to discuss on Returns Formats and to ease out the problems faced in Return filing. It is expected that major changes in Returns Formats particularly consolidation of Returns may be announced. Please contact us at contact@ghiya.in
