LIQUETAX preparation guide
Prepare for your business and compliance conversation
Use this guide to organise the facts that will help the LIQUETAX team understand your goal. Choose the section that fits your situation, note what you already have, and bring your questions to the first conversation.
How to use this guide
- Start with your goal and the legal owner or structure of the business. More than one section may apply.
- Write short descriptions. Keep identity numbers, passwords, OTPs and tax documents out of initial messages.
- Use the notes page to identify questions and gaps. Agree a secure document channel with the team before sharing records.
1. Start a business
Facts to prepare
- Who will own the business, and whether outside investment is planned.
- The activity, proposed name, business address and intended launch date.
- Compare liability, ownership and recurring obligations before choosing a structure.

This is a preparation aid. It does not decide eligibility, require registration, approve an application or authorise a filing. The relevant work and documents must be confirmed for your situation.
2. GST and tax support
Facts to prepare
- Your goods or services, turnover context and business locations.
- Inter-State, export and online-marketplace transactions, if any.
- Existing GSTIN, filing periods, notices and any dates that need attention. Do not put identifiers in initial messages.

GST return supportFor an already registered business with returns or records to organise.
A turnover figure alone does not settle the registration question. Explain the actual supply model and locations so the team can check the applicable position.
3. Protect a brand
Facts to prepare
- The proposed name or logo, the owner and the goods or services it represents.
- Whether the brand is proposed or already in use, and what evidence of use exists.
- Known similar marks or notices received; avoid assuming availability means approval.

Facts to prepare

- The last completed filings, any pending notices and upcoming deadlines.
- Recent changes in directors, ownership, address or business activity.

Records depend on the business structure
- Company: prepare incorporation records and the current director or signatory position for review.
- LLP: prepare the incorporation record, agreement and current partner details.
- Partnership: prepare the partnership deed and current partners' roles.
- Individual or proprietorship: keep personal identity records separate from business activity and premises evidence; share records only through the agreed secure channel.
