You can create a GST Classification in order to record the tax rate and other details for a category of goods attracting a specific GST rate. For example, creating GST Classifications based on HSN. When this classification is used in relevant masters and transactions, the tax details of the goods or services will be automatically captured. In case the department changes, the tax rate for any HSN in future, alter the GST Classification and assign the new rate.
You can create GST Classifications for an accounts-only company as well. Depending on the grouping used for GST Classifications, you can tag those to Sales, Purchase, Services, Income and Expense ledgers.
To create a GST classification, under F11: Features > Statutory and Taxation , enable the options Enable Goods and Services Tax (GST)? and Set/alter GST details? . In the GST Details screen, set the option Enable GST classification? to Yes .
