• Reconcile purchase registers with GSTR-2B and identify missing invoices, mismatches, and input tax credit discrepancies.
• Reconcile GST output liability, input tax credit, books of accounts, and filed returns.
• Coordinate with vendors, customers, and internal teams to resolve GST discrepancies.
• Review the applicable GST treatment of logistics services, courier-related transactions, B2B billing, and SaaS invoices in coordination with the reporting manager or tax advisor.

• Reconcile TDS payable, challans, filed returns, and accounting ledgers.
• Verify TDS credits and assist in resolving discrepancies.
• Support advance tax workings and other assigned income-tax compliance activities.
• Track statutory due dates and relevant tax amendments.

3. Statutory Audit and Tax Audit

• Coordinate with external Chartered Accountants and auditors for statutory audits, tax audits, and other applicable audits.
• Prepare audit schedules, ledger extracts, reconciliations, and supporting documents.
• Respond to routine audit queries and follow up on pending observations.
• Maintain organized records of tax returns, challans, invoices, workings, and compliance documents.
• Assist with year-end closing and preparation of tax-related financial schedules.

4. Business-Vertical Taxation

• Handle taxation and compliance activities covering ShipDelight's 4PL Logistics, B2B Logistics, and SaaS (Instalogix) businesses.
• Maintain business-vertical-wise reconciliations and tax workings wherever required.
• Coordinate with Accounts, Operations, Onboarding, and other relevant teams to resolve transaction-related discrepancies.
• Verify tax-related information for vendor and customer transactions.
• Identify compliance risks and elevate complex interpretations or material issues to the reporting manager or external tax advisor.

5. Accounting and Compliance Management

• Maintain accurate statutory liability ledgers and supporting accounting records.
• Prepare compliance calendars and monitor filing and payment deadlines.
• Perform periodic ledger scrutiny and statutory reconciliations.
• Maintain a centralized repository of tax and audit documentation.
• Support monthly and annual financial closing activities related to taxation.
• Ensure accuracy, confidentiality, and completeness of financial records.

Mandatory Skills and Experience

• 3-5 years of relevant experience in taxation, GST, TDS, and audit compliance.
• Hands-on experience preparing and filing GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B.
• Practical experience reconciling GSTR-2B with purchase registers.
• Working knowledge of TDS calculations, challan payments, quarterly returns, and reconciliation.

Preferred Qualifications and Experience

• B.Com mandatory; M.Com or CA Inter preferred.
• Experience in a logistics, services, technology, SaaS, or multi-business-vertical organization will be an advantage.
• Experience independently managing routine compliance activities with minimal supervision.
• Strong documentation, coordination, analytical, and deadline-management skills.

Key Performance Expectations

• Timely filing of applicable statutory returns and payment of dues.
• Accurate GST and TDS calculations and reconciliations.
• Timely resolution of tax mismatches and outstanding compliance items.
• Timely submission of audit schedules and supporting documents.
• Proper maintenance of statutory records and compliance trackers.
• Proactive identification and escalation of compliance risks.
• Minimization of avoidable interest, late fees, and penalties attributable to processing errors or missed deadlines.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a hands-on taxation professional who takes ownership of assigned responsibilities, can independently manage routine GST and TDS compliance, prepares audit documentation, and works effectively with internal stakeholders and external auditors.

Candidates whose experience is limited to data entry or assisting senior accountants without independently handling compliance activities may not be suitable.
