Tax Consultant in Keshod
Small-town accounts, handled properly
Most of Keshod runs on groundnut, oil and the yard, and most of it is a proprietorship or a partnership rather than a company. That does not make the tax simpler. It means the rules that bite are different ones: the composition scheme and what it quietly costs you, section 44AD and the five-year lock nobody mentions, the ₹2 lakh cash limit, and whether a field counts as rural land at all. We have worked out of Junagadh since 2007, half an hour up the road.

The rules that actually catch people in Keshod
Nothing here is exotic. A groundnut trader, an oil mill, a transport operator, a hardware shop, a farming family selling a plot. What they have in common is that the tax questions are rarely about sophisticated planning and almost always about three ordinary things: how much cash moved, whether a piece of land was a capital asset at all, and which simplified scheme somebody signed up to years ago without reading what it ruled out.
Cash is the first. Section 269ST stops anyone receiving ₹2 lakh or more in cash from one person in a day or against one transaction, and the penalty is the entire sum received rather than a share of it. In a yard where notes still change hands, that is the most expensive rule on the books to be relaxed about, and it lands on the person taking the money. Keeping the receipts above that line through a bank costs nothing and removes the whole question.
Land is the second, and it usually works in your favour. Rural agricultural land is not a capital asset under section 2(14) at all, so selling it produces no capital gain to tax rather than an exemption you have to claim. Whether a given field is rural turns on the distance to the nearest municipality and that municipality's population, which is why two plots in the same village can be treated differently. That is a question to settle with the 7/12 in hand before the sale deed is signed.
The third is the schemes. Composition under GST and section 44AD under income tax both exist to spare a small business the paperwork, and both carry a condition that only shows up later: composition bars you from making an inter-state sale or passing on input credit, and leaving 44AD after you have used it locks you out of it for five years. We go through both before you commit rather than after. Beyond those, the ordinary work carries on as everywhere else: GST returns, the income tax return and whatever the department writes afterwards, a Udyam certificate before the bank will discuss a loan, and a firm or company registration when the business outgrows one person's name.
What Keshod businesses come to us for
GST Registration & Composition
Registration, and an honest answer on whether the composition scheme suits you. It cuts the paperwork to one challan a quarter, but it blocks input credit and bars you from selling outside Gujarat, which is a problem the first time a buyer in Maharashtra rings.
ITR & Presumptive Taxation
Most Keshod businesses file under section 44AD, declaring 8% of turnover as profit, or 6% on whatever came through the bank. It saves keeping full books. What nobody mentions is that stepping out of it locks you out for the next five years.
MSME / Udyam Registration
The certificate takes minutes and is free. It is what the bank wants before a collateral-free loan, what a tender asks for, and what now gives you a statutory right to be paid inside 45 days with a tax penalty on the buyer who ignores it.
Income Tax Notices
Most notices here start with cash. A deposit the return never explained, or a sale where more than ₹2 lakh came in cash and section 269ST turned the whole amount into a penalty. Bring the notice early, while answering it is still cheaper than arguing.
Company, LLP & Firm Registration
A partnership deed when two brothers formalise what they already run, or a Private Limited when a buyer starts asking for a GST number and a balance sheet before placing an order. We set it up with PAN, TAN and GST together.
Land Sales & NRI Families
Rural agricultural land is not a capital asset at all under section 2(14), so a sale can be entirely outside capital gains. Whether yours qualifies depends on the nearest municipality and its population. It is worth checking before you sign, not after.
