You built an audience and turned your passion into revenue. But between foreign AdSense payouts, brand sponsorships, affiliate commissions, barter deals, and editing software subscriptions, your finances stopped being a hobby and became a complex multi-stream business.
“Most creators don't realize that receiving Google AdSense from Ireland counts as an export of services — which means 0% GST under an LUT filing, not 18%. We frequently see creators losing ₹1.5L–₹3L every year paying GST on international revenue they legally didn't owe. Combine that with unreported 194R benefits on gifted PR products, and you have a ticking notice timer.”
We handle your full creator back office. From foreign income LUT filings and quarterly 26AS/AIS reconciliation to contract reviews and entity setup, we protect your income so you can focus on building content.
Aarav earned ₹18L annually from Google AdSense (Ireland) and ₹10L from domestic brand sponsors. His previous local CA filed general 18% GST on his full turnover, charging him 18% tax on his Google Ireland payouts because “the revenue lands in an Indian bank account.”
We filed a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) with the GST department, establishing AdSense as a zero-rated export of services. We also claimed full input tax credit (ITC) on his video gear, editing laptops, and software subscriptions.
If you receive income from Google AdSense, Meta, YouTube, Patreon, BuyMeACoffee, or overseas brand deals, it qualifies as zero-rated export of services under GST.
If your CA is paying 18% GST on this money or telling you GST isn't applicable without filing an LUT, you are facing either tax overpayment or future non-compliance penalties.
“Aarav was literally giving away 18% of his AdSense revenue because his CA didn't know that cross-border digital services are exports under GST law. Once the LUT was filed, that money stayed in his bank account permanently.”
