Get paid in dollars. Stay calm with Indian tax.
You bill the US, UK, Europe — Upwork, Toptal, or direct. The work is the easy part. Forex, FIRA proof, the LUT, advance tax — HourSlip handles the India side, so a USD invoice and a clean ITR stop being two different jobs.

A USD invoice and a clean ITR, joined up.
Foreign income looks simple until the after-invoice part: the rate moves, the bank wants FIRA, the LUT lapses, and nobody withheld your tax. HourSlip runs the whole foreign-money loop in INR underneath, so the India side never becomes a second job.
The rate is locked the moment you issue.
Bill in USD, GBP, EUR or AUD. HourSlip freezes the reference rate onto the invoice, so it bills and reports at that rate even if the rupee moves — and the PDF carries both the foreign figure and the INR equivalent your FIRC reconciliation needs.
The gap between the locked rate and the rate on settlement is booked automatically as realised FX gain or loss — so your P&L and your ITR agree, without a spreadsheet.
Your foreign work is a zero-rated export. Two ways to prove it.
Services billed abroad are a zero-rated export — 0% GST — but only if the paperwork holds. HourSlip runs whichever route you choose and keeps the declarations, references and refund status filed, not chased.
- ›LUT reference on the PDF — every export invoice carries the declaration and zero-rated wording
- ›Re-filing reminder — we flag when the LUT needs renewing for the new FY — before 1 April
- ›Files into GSTR-1 6A (EXP) — and GSTR-3B, automatically
Every remittance, matched to its invoice.
The bank’s FIRA/FIRC is what proves your export receipts are real — needed for the refund and your ITR. HourSlip logs each remittance against the invoice it settles, so the proof is filed against the right row, not dug out of email in March.
Advance tax, before the interest bites.
Foreign income rarely has TDS withheld, so the whole advance-tax burden is yours — four instalments across the year. HourSlip schedules each from your live estimate and reminds you before the date, so 234B/C interest never starts.
Miss an instalment and 234B/C interest accrues at 1% per month on the shortfall. We push a reminder days before each date — so you pay tax, not penalties.
Which channel actually pays you the most?
Import income from Upwork, Fiverr, Toptal or direct contracts; platform fees are deducted automatically — no double entry — and HourSlip ranks your channels by rupees-per-hour after fees, so you can see where to spend your next month.
The forex spreadsheet, finally retired.
The foreign-money machinery is the headline. Around it sits the everyday tooling — currencies and rails, the tax view, and the year-end pack — that turns scattered PayPal emails into one defensible ledger.
