Two practices that most people need together

Taxation and property are usually treated as separate problems by separate people. Here they sit with one advisor who has spent decades in both.

Taxation and compliance

More than 35 years across GST and indirect taxation, with income tax, TDS and business compliance handled alongside it. Registration through to appeal, without passing you between offices.

  • GST registration, filing, refunds and reconciliation
  • Income tax returns, planning and assessments
  • TDS compliance and correction statements
  • Notices, departmental replies and appeal support

Real estate advisory

Over 25 years advising buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, investors and property owners on transactions, documentation and the regulatory steps that surround them.

  • Buying, selling and leasing support
  • Documentation and registration formalities
  • Investment and valuation guidance

Where tax and property meet

Almost every property decision carries a tax consequence, and the tax is usually discovered only after the papers are signed. Because both sit with the same advisor here, capital gains, TDS on property, stamp duty and GST on construction get considered together rather than one at a time.

Founder's message

Why I still answer the phone myself

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”

Attributed to Mahatma Gandhi

That line has shaped how I have practised for over thirty-five years. In taxation, the gap between what is said and what is actually done is exactly where clients get hurt. I try never to leave that gap open.

When I started out, most people came to a consultant only after something had gone wrong. A notice had arrived, a deadline had passed, a sale had fallen through at the registration office. Much of my work since has been about moving that conversation earlier, so that far fewer notices arrive at all.

I do not believe in complicated answers to simple questions. If your filing is straightforward, you should be told so and charged accordingly. If it is not, you should understand exactly why before any work begins. You will be able to reach me directly, and I intend to keep it that way.

Thirty-five years of working knowledge

B. Sivagnanam is a taxation, real estate and business advisory professional with more than 35 years of practical experience in GST and indirect taxation. As an established GST Practitioner, he has guided businesses, professionals, traders and individuals through registration, compliance, assessment and advisory work.

Over the course of his career he has consulted for more than 400 clients, helping them understand what the law asks of them, keep their records accurate, resolve taxation concerns and make informed financial and business decisions. That depth of experience is what allows advice to be shaped around a specific situation rather than around a template.

Alongside GST, he has considerable experience in income tax, covering planning, return related assistance, compliance support, documentation and general advisory work. Understanding both direct and indirect taxation means clients receive coordinated guidance instead of separate opinions that do not quite line up.

He also brings over 25 years in the real estate sector, advising on property consultation, transaction guidance, documentation, regulatory assistance and the concerns of buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, investors and property owners. Combined with the taxation side, this covers the financial, procedural and compliance aspects of a property transaction in one place.

How we work

No forms to fill before you can speak to someone, and no work started before you know what it costs.

  1. Start the conversation

    Send a message or call and describe the situation in your own words. A photo of any notice usually helps.

  2. Get a clear scope and fee

    You will know what will be done, what it will cost and roughly how long it takes, before anything starts.

  3. Documents and filing handled

    Papers are collected, returns or deeds are prepared, everything is checked once more and then filed.

  4. Stay ahead of the next date

    A reminder ahead of your due dates, and support if a query or notice turns up months later.

Questions people ask first

Do you handle GST registration for a new business?

Yes. New registrations, amendments to an existing registration, and cancellation or revocation are all handled here. Send across what your business does and its expected turnover, and you will be told which registration applies before any work begins.

I have received a GST or income tax notice. What should I do?

Send a photo of the notice on WhatsApp. Almost every notice carries a response deadline, so the sooner it is seen the more options stay open. Replies are drafted, filed and followed up, and where a matter needs to go further you will be told what that involves before anything is decided.

Do you file returns for salaried individuals, or only for businesses?

Both. Salaried individuals, professionals, proprietorships, partnerships and companies are all handled. A straightforward salary return is treated as exactly that and priced accordingly.

What do you help with on a property transaction?

Documentation review, registration formalities, encumbrance certificate (EC) and patta checks, rent and lease agreements, and the tax side of the deal including capital gains and TDS on property. Legal opinions and formal valuations are coordinated with the right specialists when a transaction needs them.

Do you work with clients outside Chennai?

Yes. Most GST and income tax work is handled online and can be done from anywhere in India. Property work stays focused on Chennai and the surrounding areas, where local knowledge genuinely matters.

How are fees decided?

By the scope of the work rather than a fixed price list. Describe your requirement on WhatsApp and you will get a clear quote before anything begins. There is no charge for an initial conversation about whether you need help at all.
