Business Formation

Establishing a business extends beyond acquiring goods and commencing services. Building a solid foundation for your enterprise demands a range of essential legal services.
Firstly, obtaining a PAN Card is crucial for consolidating all tax-related details. Registering your business and managing financial transactions becomes fundamental.
Subsequently, securing a GST number is mandatory in India for any business or service. However, the process of establishing a business encompasses more complexities. At Jain TaxTech, our array of services includes EPF, ESIC, MSME, Shop & Establishment, Digital Signature Registration, PTEC, PTRC, and Trademark registration.
Our services extend beyond these basics. We facilitate Import-Export Code Registration, aiming to elevate your business to a commendable stature through proper company registration and robust formation.
Goods and Service tax
Navigating the landscape of supplying goods and services in India necessitates GST registration. Upon registration, you are conferred a unique Goods and Service Tax Identification Number (GSTIN), a 15-digit state-specific identifier issued by the Central Government. This process bestows upon you a legal identity as a supplier, unlocking advantages such as eligibility for input tax credit and the ability to collect GST from recipients of goods and services. At Jain TaxTech, we guide you through the seamless process of GST registration, ensuring compliance and positioning your business for optimal success.
