Tally.ERP 9 facilitates defining TCS 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.
● The rules can be inherited as follows:
● 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.
The application migrates all the TCS Nature of Goods that were used in your previous version of Tally.ERP 9. However, to adapt to the new approach a few configurations have to be done.
