Auto-populate GST for transactions
Managing tax rates in today’s time can be quite challenging; moreover, the risk of making errors is significantly higher. Zoho Books makes it easier, allowing you to connect with their GSTIN and apply only the tax rates that are relevant. Once connected, the system detects and applies the right tax components, which are CGST, SGST, or IGST to each transaction with that contact. This automated tax data collection guarantees that your returns are filed correctly and that your accounting is correct.
Stay compliant by labeling your items
GST compliance demands proper categorization of goods and services. Zoho Books is helpful with regard to categorizing products as ‘Goods’ or ‘Services’ by inputting the correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) or SAC (Service Accounting Code). The platform also has a search option to help you identify the correct codes. Thus ensuring accurate RAX calculation and reducing the possibility of rejection when the filing returns.
Create GST-compliant invoices
Invoicing is a crucial component for GST compliance, and it is without a doubt that Zoho Books makes it quite easy. Get in touch with a Zoho Books partner to help you create professional invoices that will not only suit your business but also check all the government requirements. Zoho Books keeps track of critical information such as GSTINs, HSN/SAC codes, and the location of supply. It also pinpoints the correct tax rate based on whether the transaction is within the state or outside, so you don’t have to second-guess the tax structure.
Easy E-Way Bill Generation
Generating e-way invoices is a vital compliance obligation for firms that move products. Zoho Books automatically recognizes transactions that require an e-way bill and encourages you to generate one. With a single click, you can create and manage e-way invoices straight from the platform, assuring compliance without leaving the system.
Change to E-Invoicing for Improved Security
Zoho Books enables e-invoicing for B2B transactions in order to comply with current regulatory requirements. The program enables you to submit electronic invoices that have been authenticated by the GSTN (Goods and Services Tax Network), assuring legitimacy and reducing fraud. This technique not only improves transparency, but it also speeds up GST filing by decreasing inconsistencies.
