FAQ RELATED TO GST 2.0 CHANGES:

 

Q1.) If a sales order was raised with the old tax rate (12%) before 22nd September 2025, and it is converted into an invoice on or after 22nd September, which tax rate will apply?

 

Ans :  Conversions done after the bulk tax update (22nd September 2025) will fetch the default new tax rate from the Product master. Conversions done before the update will apply the old tax rate (12%). Our Recommendation: Convert orders before the tax change to ensure the order and invoice amounts is matching.

Q2.) If a Stock Outward entry was created with the old tax rate (12%) and the Stock Inward is imported into another outlet after 22nd September, which tax rate will apply?

Ans:  Imports done after the bulk tax update will fetch the tax rate from the stock from the XML  inwards  file only. So kindly import the STI based on your need.

  • To change the tax in an old Stock Outward entry:
    Tools → Options → Options→ Common Setting → Branch Transfer → Change Tax in Branch Outward.

 

Q3.) For back-dated purchase entries, will the old tax rate or the new tax rate apply?

 

Ans: During purchase entry, there is an option to change the tax. For back-dated purchases, the system will fetch the default tax from the master, so you can manually adjust the tax as required.


Q4.)  When modifying an old Sales Bill, Purchase, or any past transaction, will there be any impact due to the tax change?

Ans:  Yes. During item modification, the system will apply the default tax from the master (new rate). So we request you to update the tax item-wise in the bill, as an option is provided to modify the tax for each item.To adjust:

  • Enable item-wise tax change:
    Tools → Options→Options → Sales → Item Wise Option → Change Tax Type.

Note: Enable this option only for specific users, not all.

 

Q5.)  If a Sales Invoice was created with the old tax (12%) and the item master now has 5%, which tax will apply in a Sales Return against the invoice?

 

Ans: By default , it will take the tax mapped in the item master . Govt also requested to receive the returns with the new tax instead of old tax . We have two different options for taking returns one is based on the Transaction and another one is based on the product master. By default,it will fetch the tax from the product master, if you want to load the tax from the original invoice then kindly disable this option under Tools--options-->options-->Sales-->Sales return-->Default tax code from product master.


If you want to change the tax manually in the sales return, go to tools-->Options-->Options-->Sales-->Sales return-->Change tax for Sales return Only.


Q6.) If a Purchase Invoice was created with the old tax (12%) and the item master now has 5%, which tax will apply in a Purchase Return?

Q7.) If a Purchase Order was raised with old tax (12%) on 21st September and converted to a Purchase on or after 22nd September, which tax rate will apply?
