Are you finding GST accounting and reconciliation difficult?<\/p>\n

GST accounting is when you make entries into your books related to the goods and services provided and received.<\/p>\n

Consider this example.<\/p>\n

If a juice shop has purchased apples for Rs.100 and sold apple juice for Rs.150, the shop owner (business owner) would have paid GST to the apple vendor and collected GST from the apple juice customer. The process of reconciling apple purchase and apple juice sales (GST amounts) is called GST reconciliation<\/p>\n

Multiple tax levies have been replaced under the GST regime by a single GST tax, resulting in major changes in the accounts that business owners should maintain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Previously, individuals had to maintain individual accounts for CST, excise, VAT, and other service taxes with separate output, input, and credit entries for each of them. And now, the new tax regime implies an entirely new list of accounts consisting of the GST components.<\/span><\/p>\n

This new GST regime brings along the vital concepts of <\/span>GST accounting and reconciliation which you, as a business owner, must be aware of.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s dive deeper into all things GST accounting and reconciliation.<\/span><\/p>\n
