Accounting and Tax Guides
Practical guides to GST returns, payroll filings, TallyPrime and Excel — written for people doing the work. Every statutory claim is cited to the Act or the notification, and every figure that can change says so.
These guides cover two things. The first is choosing what to study: what actually follows 12th commerce, a B.Com or a BBA, what to do when CA has not worked out, and which of our own courses fits which person. The second is the accounting and tax work itself, the work people do once they are in the job: filing a GST return, running payroll, closing a set of books in TallyPrime, or building a working spreadsheet in Excel.
They are written for students deciding what to enrol in, working accountants filling a specific gap, and business owners handling their own compliance rather than outsourcing it.
On the statutory guides, every claim is cited to the underlying Act, rule or notification rather than stated on its own authority, and figures that change from year to year, rates, thresholds, due dates, are flagged as such rather than left to go stale silently. On the career guides, the qualifications are cited to the institutes that award them. If a guide raises a question a course would answer properly, the course finder points at the right one. For anything a guide does not cover, contact NIMB EDU directly.
