Question 1

What documents are needed to get started?

Accepted Answer

Initially, we need your GST certificate, PAN, bank statements, and sales/purchase data. We'll provide a specific checklist based on your business type during onboarding.

Question 2

How long does it take to set up?

Accepted Answer

Onboarding typically takes 2-3 business days. Once we have your documents, your dedicated account manager will be assigned and regular filings will begin.

Question 3

How does communication work?

Accepted Answer

You'll have a dedicated WhatsApp group and a primary account manager. Monthly updates are shared via email and WhatsApp.

Question 4

What AI agents does Tax Garden use, and what do they actually do?

Accepted Answer

Tax Garden uses four AI agents running in the background on your account. The Data Entry Agent captures transaction data from casual conversation or voice input. The Classification Agent categorizes every entry into the correct GST heads and expense buckets automatically. The Tasks Creation Agent proactively flags missing data or inconsistencies before filing deadlines. The Tax Advisor Agent analyzes your financials to surface eligible deductions and compliance-relevant changes. A qualified CA reviews these findings and advises on whether and how to claim them.

Question 5

Does AI replace my CA or compliance manager?

Accepted Answer

No. AI handles the repetitive, time-sensitive work: data capture, classification, anomaly detection, and compliance-relevance flagging. Every filing is reviewed and submitted by a qualified compliance professional. You get the speed and accuracy of AI with the accountability of a human expert.

Question 6

How accurate is the AI? What if it makes a mistake?

Accepted Answer

Our AI agents are trained on Indian tax regulations and continuously updated as rules change. That said, every AI-flagged entry is reviewed by our compliance team before submission. We also offer Kavach, our protection plan that covers up to ₹50,000 in service charges for any clerical or data errors made by our team.

Question 7

What happens if I receive a tax notice?

Accepted Answer

Our team handles notice responses and compliance filings. Basic notices are covered in growth plans, while complex notice matters may involve a separate fee discussed upfront.

Question 8

Can you help with pending filings from previous months?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can help you catch up on backlog filings. This is handled as an add-on service depending on the volume of pending work.

Question 9

Do you support businesses with multiple GSTINs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our Multi-GSTIN / Scale plan is specifically designed for businesses operating across multiple states with different GST registrations.

Question 10

What is the AY 2026-27 ITR filing deadline, and am I late?

Accepted Answer

The AY 2026-27 ITR filing deadline was 31 July 2026. If you haven't filed yet, you face a ₹5,000 late penalty or interest charges (whichever is higher). File immediately to minimize exposure. Audit cases have extended deadline: 31 October 2026. Tax Garden handles urgent filings same-day.

Question 11

What is TDS on interest under Section 194A?

Accepted Answer

TDS on interest is 10% deducted by banks and companies on fixed deposits above Rs 50,000 threshold (Rs 1,00,000 for senior citizens). Non-bank payers deduct at 10% above Rs 10,000. Tax Garden handles TDS deduction, filing Form 16A quarterly, and ensures you have proof of deduction for ITR filing.

Can I add add-ons later?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can add or remove add-ons anytime. Pricing will be adjusted from the next billing cycle.
