The rate and service code for a software subscription sold to Indian businesses.\n3. Whether wallet top ups are taxed when loaded or when spent.\n4. Whether sales to brands outside India can go out without GST under a letter of undertaking, and what proof is kept.\n5. Whether ₹ list prices should be shown with GST added at checkout.\n6. Filing calendar: GST returns, income tax and LLP annual filings, with who files each.\n\nRecord each answer here with the date and the CA's name.",
