The purchase of nil rated goods from a local or interstate supplier does not attract GST, and can be recorded using a purchase voucher. In the ledger masters of the goods or services classified as nil rated (0%), Taxability should be set to Nil Rated in the GST Details screen.
● Go to Gateway of Tally > Accounting Vouchers > F9: Purchases.
● Select the applicable purchase ledger. For example, Nil Rated Purchases.
Depending on the location of the party, you can record a local or interstate nil rated purchase transaction.
The local or interstate purchase of goods or services exempted from GST can be recorded using a purchase voucher. In the ledger masters of the exempted goods or services, Taxability should be set to Exempt in the GST Details screen.

The purchase of goods and services from a party in an SEZ can be recorded using a purchase voucher. In an SEZ purchase transaction, taxes are applicable based on the type of purchase:

● Exempt SEZ purchase: No tax is applicable.
● SEZ purchase under LUT/bond: No tax is applicable. SEZ purchases under LUT/bond are allowed when your supplier has signed up a letter of undertaking with the department for the sale of goods without the payment of duty. While passing the purchase transaction, you can select either the ledger created for exempt SEZ purchases or the common purchase ledger.
