Hi I’m new at this business
I wanted to ask whether tax will be collected by the payment gateway or we have to submit it or file it through a CA?
Hi,
You can select the tax amount according to your business like inclusive or exclusive. After sales you have to give all sales bills/invoices to your CA to file GST. Payment gateway also charges GST for collecting payments from your customer, for which you can collect their GST invoice from payment gateway dashboard and send it to your CA. CA will file the GST tax for you. For more info whatsapp us at : 7838741037

How to mention GST percentage & charges in the invoice that we have to send with the product. If the product price is inclusive of GST.?
Hi vishal
You can use any third party invoice builder plugin or even you can use woo-commerce inbuilt invoice feature to show tax breakup. You just need to define the tax type and amount entry as inclusive or exclusive in woo-commerce settings. It will automatically pick the settings.

Hello sir,
I am using WCFM , but facing challenges to configure GST rates identification for inter or intra supply for different stores in different states.
For Example :-
Case :- 1
I have one vendor V1 in madhya pradesh supply services (GST 18) in Madhya pradhesh only, here supply is intra. CGST and sGST shall be charged. working fine currently.
Case :- 2
I have same vendor V1 in madhya pradesh supply services (GST 18) in maharashta only, here supply is inter. igst shall be charged. working fine currently.
Case 1 and Case 2 is working fine when i have considered base location of state as madhya pradesh in TAX setting for GST state.
But, consider CASE 3 :-
I have another vendor V2 in Delhi supply services (GST 18) in Delhi only, here supply is intra. CSGT AND SGST is applicable. Now since i have used settings for madhya pradesh as a base location, IGST is getting charged which is incorrect.
Can you share me excel sheet
Hello heena
You have to set the tax location as customer or none
Regards
I uploaded the available csv file for tax but its not working for states . I arranged HR state code with 6% CGST and 6% SGST while and priority 1 and 2, while other states comes under 12 % IGST and having priority of 3.
While in calculation it always shows 6% CGST and 6% SGST for any state selected for billing.
Kindly suggest the solutions..

hello
https://scriptfeeds.com/blog/development/gst-billing-in-woocommerce/
in this script, i have two question – suppose if i have both 5% and 12% products in a single invoice, which tax rate will shipping column take ???
Q2 What does compound tax rate mean in your excel template
You don’t really need that long list to maintain. The list should have only 3 rows. Let me explain.
Suppose, your shop is in UP and GST rate is 12%. Then, first add a row with followings:
Add a second row:
Add a third row:
That’s it. That’ll do the job.
NOTE: If you use tax rate 18%, then ‘Shipping’ option should be Checked. The reason is shipping cost GST rate is 18% in India (as of now).
