Highlights – TallyPrime Release 3.0

Multiple GST Registrations in a Single Company

It saves you from the trouble of maintaining different Company data for different GST registrations. This, in turn, saves a great deal of time, as you can work to prepare for GST Returns of each GST registration in a single Company data.

With the facility of maintaining all your GST registrations in a single company, you can now:

  • Create GST registrations in the Company with:
    • All the GST registration details such as State, Address Type, Registration Type, and GSTIN/UIN
    • Periodicity of Return filing
    • Place of Supply
    • e-Invoice and e-Way Bill applicability
    • Reconciliation configuration
    • LUT/Bond Details, as applicable
    • Other details related to GST registration

Updating GST registration details of a party has also become simpler. Furthermore, you can specify slab rates in any master – be it stock item, stock group, ledger, or group, as needed.

GST Rate and HSN/SAC Details

Entering GST Rate and HSN/SAC details has become all the easier, as you can enter those details in separate masters, as per your requirement. On the other hand, the facility to override the details during voucher creation imparts great flexibility.

You can now:

  • Set the source of GST Rate and HSN/SAC details under F11 Company features itself.
    Subsequently, when you create a voucher, the GST Rate and HSN/SAC details will be considered from the source set under F11 Company features.
  • Choose to update GST Rate details in one master (such as Stock Group) and HSN/SAC details in another master (such as Stock Item).
  • Override the GST and HSN/SAC details in any other master or during voucher creation.

GST Registration Details

You can now update the GST Registration Details (such as GSTIN and Registration Type) and Mailing Details (such as Address, State, or Country) for a registration in the masters in such a way that there will be no impact on:

  • The transactions recorded earlier.
  • The Returns filed in the previous months.

What’s more, with the newly introduced facility to check the history of updates in GST Registration Details, you can now know:

  • The nature of updates in GST Registration Details
  • The date on which the updates were made

Slab Rate in Masters

For items or services with varying GST rates for slabs of different amounts, you can now specify slab rates not only in Stock Items but also in the Stock Group, Ledger, and Company, as needed.

GST Transactions

Calculating tax in transactions has become all the easier, as TallyPrime considers GST rate and HSN/SAC details provided in the respective masters, while you can simply override the details during voucher creation, as needed.

With TallyPrime Release 3.0, you can now:

  • Record transactions for any of the GST registrations, when you maintain multiple GST Registrations in a single Company.
  • Set the Nature of Transaction in the voucher instead of having to do so for each ledger.
  • Override GST rates and HSN/SAC codes in transactions with great ease.
  • Change the GST Status of a transaction to Reconciled, Unreconciled, Mismatched, or Excluded, as needed.
    You can also do so for multiple transactions in the GSTR-2A Reconciliation report.
  • Move a voucher to a different Return period, simply by changing the Return Effective Date.
    You can also do so for multiple transactions in the GST Return reports such as GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and GSTR-2A Reconciliation.
  • Mark Return as Signed so that you can track any changes done after signing the Return.
  • Amend a voucher for a future Return period by providing the Return Effective Date.
  • Make GST Adjustments by choosing from a wide range of options for Statutory Adjustments that cover a great deal of your business scenarios and practices.
    The options provided for Statutory Adjustments include Increase in Tax Liability, Increase in Input Tax Credit, Increase in Tax Liability & Input Tax Credit, and others.

Apart from the above-mentioned facilities, you can also:

  • Calculate GST in Material In and Material Out vouchers.
  • View Tax Analysis in Purchase vouchers.
  • Select Place of Supply for both domestic and international suppliers.

What’s more, if you change a value that affects GST Returns, then TallyPrime will prompt you at the time of re-saving the voucher, so that you can take one of the following decisions:

  • Accept with difference in values and resolve the mismatch later.
  • Accept with difference in values, while ensuring that the voucher is not considered as mismatched.
  • Go back to the voucher and revert to the original values, if needed.

Default GST Registration for a Voucher Type

In case of multiple GST Registrations, you can set a default GST Registration for a specific Voucher Type.

For instance, if you record all Journal Vouchers for a specific office or location, then you can set the GST Registration of that location in the Voucher Type as the default one.

Subsequently, when you create the voucher, the default GST registration will be the one chosen in the Voucher Type, thereby saving time consumed in switching between the GST registrations.

Retention of Original Voucher Numbers for Automatic or Multi-user Auto

For Voucher Types with Automatic or Multi-user Auto method of voucher numbering, TallyPrime retains the original voucher number in case of voucher insertion or deletion.

This ensures that the voucher numbers of transactions remain intact despite insertion or deletion.

However, you can choose to renumber vouchers at the time of voucher insertion or deletion, if you follow the practice in your business.

Voucher Series for Specific GST Registration

For Companies with multiple GST registrations, you can create voucher numbering series for each registration and Voucher Type, so that there is no conflict of same voucher numbers in your data and also in the Returns.

GST Returns

    • In the format of your choice – JSON, MS Excel, or CSV.
    • With GSTR-3B data in MS Excel.
      This is exactly identical to the Excel utility on the GST portal, which makes filing GSTR-3B all the easier.

GSTR-2A Reconciliation

The experience of reconciling your transactions in GSTR-2A with the transactions of your suppliers is further simple. This ensures that the information in your books matches that on the GST portal. Moreover, the facility to identify potential matches to unreconciled transactions in your books aids to the ease of the reconciliation process.

    • By specifying the threshold limit of mismatch.
    • By ignoring prefix of zeros or special characters in the document number.
    • By configuring prefix used by a party in Document No. or Invoice No. to be ignored for reconciliation.
  • Manually mark the status of transactions as Reconciled or Mismatch, as needed.
  • Track reconciled transactions that are modified later.
  • Consider the Supplier’s Invoice No. and Date as Document No. and Date for reconciliation.
