India's Travel Tax Firm.
The country's specialist practice on airline and hotel GST reconciliation at enterprise scale, with the advisory, an evidence trail, and the documentation chain that has to sit underneath. Three partners, twelve people, one scorecard.
You already know there is leakage. A travel tax firm is the specific shape built to find it.
Most enterprises know their airline and hotel GST isn't reconciling cleanly. The leak is real, recurring, and quietly compounding. What's missing is the firm that does the reconciliation as a specialist practice rather than a side project.
Travel tax sits inside GST but is not the centre of any generalist practice. A Big Four indirect-tax team does the work when asked, but does not specialise. A recovery shop chases missed credits on a contingency basis but does not write opinions or stand behind a filing. A tax-technology vendor will sell a tool that captures invoices, but does not sign anything.
A travel tax firm is the shape that owns the whole picture , airline and hotel GST reconciliation at enterprise volume, partner-led positions taken under it, and technical defence when scrutiny arrives. One firm, one chain, one scorecard for the work.
India runs the largest corporate travel market outside the United States, and a GST system specifically designed to recover input tax on business spend. TraCarta is the firm built to that intersection, specialist by design, partner-led by structure, on the record by default.
Airline and hotel GST reconciliation, at enterprise scale.
Two lines carry the practice, airline GST reconciliation and hotel GST reconciliation, both at the volume an enterprise actually runs. The advisory and audit-defence work sits underneath them, because positions have to be taken and defended cleanly for the reconciliation to mean anything.
Airline GST reconciliation
End-to-end reconciliation of airline GST input credit at enterprise volume, from invoice capture through carrier portals, to GSTR-2B match, to posting in the client's ERP. The firm's largest line of work, and the one most heavily engineered.

TravelSuite is what makes the practice scalable.
The engine the firm built. Not a product the client licenses, not a tool a client team operates, the firm's working environment. Eight modules carrying the volume so the tax desk can carry the judgement.
An engine that runs underneath the practice.
The firm runs an engine called TravelSuite — eight modules covering capture, reconciliation, posting, integrations, and the security envelope around them. The client does not log into it. The firm runs the engine; the firm delivers the work.
Read about the engineThree things that are true on every engagement.
Not values. Not a mission. Three operational claims about how the firm actually runs, testable, refusable, and the same on every engagement from year one to year ten.
Every position the firm takes is on the record.
A written position from the tax desk, dated, citing primary authority. The firm does not take positions verbally and refuse to put them in writing.
Every position is led by a partner.
The partnership is small by design, three partners, named on the site. One named person stands behind every output of the firm. No managing-associate proxy. No partnership generically.
Every claim sits inside a documented chain.
Research note, position paper, posting record, defence dossier, assembled as a chain during the engagement, not reconstructed under scrutiny. The dossier is read off the record; it is not rebuilt from scratch.
Three partners. Twelve people. One scorecard.
The whole firm. A small partnership at the top, with named accountabilities; a bench of twelve carrying the practice every day; one shared standard of work between them.
The partners sign. The bench delivers. The standard is one.
The leadership names the firm's positions and the bench carries the practice that goes underneath. Every engagement is partner-led, bench-delivered, and held to the same standard whether the engagement is the firm's first or its hundredth.
The diagnostic is how most engagements start.
Eight weeks of structured intake. The firm reads a client's airline and hotel GST spend, finds the reconciliation gap, and writes the first cleared position. From there a recovery engagement may or may not follow, the diagnostic stands on its own.
Eight weeks. One recovery map.
A paid, scoped, eight-week engagement on a client's airline and hotel GST surface. It is not a free pitch. It is the first piece of real work, structured to be useful to the client's tax desk whether or not a further engagement follows.
- 01 A reconciliation map of the client's airline and hotel GST, with the gap quantified.
- 02 A first cleared position on the highest-value technical question surfaced.
- 03 A mandate proposal, what a recovery engagement would look like, or a clean recommendation that one is not needed.
