GST Classification in TallyPrime
GST Classification is a powerful tool for recording tax rates and other details for categories of goods and services that attract a common GST rate.
For example, you can create a GST Classification based on a particular HSN/SAC. When this classification is used in relevant masters and transactions, the tax details of the goods or services will be automatically captured. In the future, if the department changes the tax rate for any HSN, then you can simply alter the GST Classification and assign the new rate.
Moreover, you can create GST Classifications for an accounts-only company as well. Depending on the grouping used for GST Classification, you can tag them to Sales, Purchase, Services, and Income & Expense ledgers.

- Press Alt+G (Go To) > Create/Alter > GST Classification.
