Coworking for Returning NRI Freelancers
Coworking vs home office: GST invoice, 44ADA presumptive, fiber test, and Tier-1 operator compare.
The 60-second version
Returning NRI freelancers need coworking with GST invoice, stable fiber, and entity choice — WeWork/IndiQube vs home office affects 44ADA presumptive eligibility.
Coworking is ops + tax — not just a desk
GST registration required when turnover crosses threshold — coworking rent needs GSTIN vendor.
44ADA professionals may use presumptive 50% — home office vs coworking affects audit narrative.
