Tax & Compliance Basics for Architects (India-focused + global view)
Nobody teaches architects about tax.
Ignorance gets expensive.
Get comfortable with the taxes, filings, and compliance basics every practice faces, in India and beyond, so nothing official ever blindsides you again.
Tax season will stop ambushing you
- Understand your obligations — clearly, without drowning in dense legal and accounting language.
- Avoid costly penalties — triggered by filing deadlines you never even knew existed.
- Structure the firm smartly — so compliance works for you, not against you.
- Talk to accountants as equals — and know exactly when their advice deserves a second opinion.
- Keep clean records painlessly — with simple habits that take minutes instead of lost weekends.
- Operate globally with confidence — knowing the essentials that follow you across every border.

A few hours from now, you could already see differently.
GST, TDS, professional tax, I had outsourced all of it and understood none of it, which is a dangerous combination for a practice owner. This course explains the Indian compliance landscape in plain language and flags exactly what to verify with your CA rather than blindly trust. I found two errors in our own filings within a month of finishing it.

Answered simply.
I already have a CA — why learn this myself?
So you can direct your CA instead of depending on them blindly. Owners who understand the basics make better structural decisions and catch problems earlier.
Does this cover taxation on international work?
Yes — it is India-focused with a global view, including what changes when fees cross borders.
Do I need any prior experience?
No. Every course starts from where you are and builds up step by step, in plain language.
Is this software training?
No — software changes yearly. The thinking you learn here lasts a career.
How does it work?
Short video lessons with a small practice task after each. Any device, your pace.
