How the 3-step Informal (Presumptive) workflow works
Informal filing is a simplified 3-step process for artisans, traders, and micro-businesses.
Overview
The Informal filing path uses presumptive taxation, which means your tax is based on your business category rather than detailed income records.
Step 1: Basic Info
Provide your basic personal and business information:
- Full name and phone number
- Residential address and state
- Business type (e.g., tailoring, POS operation, trading)
Step 2: Business Category Selection
Choose the presumptive tax bracket that matches your business size. Categories are based on estimated annual turnover (micro, small, or medium-small). Each category has a fixed tax amount determined by NRS guidelines.
Step 3: Review & File
Review your information and the calculated presumptive tax amount. If everything looks correct, proceed to payment. Your Informal Filer Temporary ID will be displayed for your records.
Important Notes
Presumptive tax is simpler because it doesn't require income records or deduction claims. Your tax amount is fixed based on your business category. This path is only for informal sector workers without formal accounting.
