Chartered Accountant in Katwa, West Bengal

Compensation for compulsory acquisition of agricultural land is generally exempt — and under the RFCTLARR Act, even non-agricultural land acquisition compensation is exempt for most individuals. Interest on delayed compensation is taxed differently from the compensation itself. Families are frequently taxed on this wrongly; a review of the award letter usually settles it in your favour.

GST registration with works-contract classification (usually 18%, with restricted input credits on some items), TDS both ways — deducted from your bills by the principal, deducted by you on subcontractors — plus professional tax and a tax audit past the threshold. Project contractors carry the heaviest compliance load in the district; we run it as a monthly managed engagement.

A fair question. Many Katwa businesses use local accountants for data entry and a chartered accountant for what needs one — audits, signed certifications, notices, and structuring. Both roles matter; they are not the same role. For CA-level work, distance is bridged by the Katwa line, video calls, and planned visit days in the district.

Commission agents dealing in agricultural produce for farmers are exempt in most arrangements — but the exemption depends on acting for agriculturists and on how the arrangement is papered. Agents for traders, or agents taking title to goods, are taxable. The distinction is documentary; we make sure your paperwork matches the exemption you are claiming.
