FAQ

Common questions, answered.

How is B2B SaaS different from consumer SaaS for CA?
B2B has longer sales cycles + larger contract values + multi-year prepaid + enterprise MSA complexity + NDR cohort reporting + ASC 606 performance obligation separation. Consumer SaaS is more about monthly billing + OIDAR GST for Indian B2C + simpler revenue recognition. Different compliance focus.
Does OIDAR GST apply to B2B SaaS?
No - OIDAR applies to B2C (sale to non-GST-registered Indian consumer). For B2B (sale to GST-registered Indian business customer), reverse charge mechanism applies - Indian customer self-assesses GST. Foreign B2B SaaS to Indian B2B customer: no OIDAR; capture Indian customer's GSTIN at checkout.
Can B2B SaaS claim export of service for foreign enterprise customers?
Yes - under GST rules, service provided to foreign customer (place of supply outside India, payment in forex) is zero-rated export. LUT bond allows invoicing without IGST; ITC can be refunded on inputs. Significant tax benefit for Indian B2B SaaS serving US / UK / EU customers.
Does BQP handle B2B SaaS specific compliance?
Yes - specialist practice. ASC 606 revenue recognition + GST export of service + transfer pricing + Section 194J/194Q + NDR reporting + ESOP + fundraising. Standard engagement for Series A to Series C B2B SaaS. WhatsApp +91 78018 87130.
