What is the GST turnover limit for freelancers?

1 views

Ugh, GST. As a freelancer, its such a headache! Thankfully, I dont have to worry about it yet because Im nowhere near that ₹20 lakh limit (₹10 lakh if I lived in a place like Himachal Pradesh). Its a relief knowing I can focus on my work without the added paperwork hassle, at least for now. But its definitely something Ill need to keep an eye on as my earnings grow – all that income, from anywhere in the world, counts towards the limit.

GST turnover limit for freelancers? Ugh, that’s the thing, isn’t it? The looming GST monster! Honestly, it makes my head spin just thinking about it. Luckily, I’m okay… for now. I’m nowhere near that ₹20 lakh threshold (or ₹10 lakh in some states – imagine, like Himachal Pradesh! Good for them). Seriously though, it’s such a weight off my shoulders not having to deal with it yet. I can just, you know, work. Create. Not get bogged down in paperwork hell. Which, let’s be real, is a huge win.

But, you know what? It’s always in the back of my mind. Like, what if I do hit it someday? All that lovely income, whether it comes from a client down the street or halfway across the world, it all adds up. A friend of mine, she’s a graphic designer, she hit the limit last year. Total surprise! She was thrilled about the earnings, obviously, but then – bam! – GST paperwork avalanche. She was telling me how she spent a whole weekend just figuring it all out. Yikes. So, yeah, definitely something I need to keep an eye on. Hopefully, I’ll have time to prepare before the GST monster comes knocking at my door!
