Understand your obligations early
An introductory discussion for creators whose income is just beginning to grow.
Who this is for
This is for emerging creators, performers and public figures who are starting to earn from collaborations, appearances or platform payouts and would like to understand the tax and compliance obligations that may apply.
Duration: one introductory discussion of about 30 minutes, held by phone or video.
Eligibility:
- You are an individual who has recently started earning from creative or public-facing work, such as modelling, performing, content creation, music, art or sport.
- Your gross annual receipts from that work are within the GST registration threshold for services, currently ₹20 lakh for most service providers.
- You have not previously engaged the firm for these matters.
- The discussion is limited to one per person and is subject to the firm’s availability.
What the introductory discussion covers
- How income from brand work, appearances and platforms is generally treated for income tax
- When GST registration and TDS may become relevant
- Basic record keeping and advance tax awareness
- Questions you may have about structure as your work grows
The discussion is educational. It is not a review of your personal tax position unless you choose to engage us for that separately.
