Tally.ERP 9 facilitates defining excise details at different levels. This provides the convenience of applying tax rules at the highest level, which is the company level, as well as the flexibility to modify, override or define details at the lower levels, based on one's business requirement.
For example,
The business is dealing with different types of batteries and if all the items are attracting the same VAT rate, the tax rate can be defined at the company level.
If the business is dealing with batteries and leather goods, then the tax rates are different, then the tax rate can be defined in the stock group level.
The user can define the rules at the company level and override at the lower level. The rules can be inherited as follows:
Company
Stock Group
Stock Item
Ledger Group
Ledger
Transaction
Transaction Entry
Note: The rules that are defined at the voucher type or voucher type class level will be used as template, thereby it will be used ONLY to fill the values in the transaction by default in create mode.
After migrating to release 5.0, you can start recording invoices. If these are transactions that have statutory implications, then the required masters have to be configured. In most scenarios the business can define the tax rules in few minutes and start recording transactions.
I am dealing with stock items which have the same excise duty rate.
