Account for TDS or TCS on Purchases Under GST

Record a purchase voucher with GST for the complete transaction, and then deduct TDS in journal voucher. Make the payment for the balance amount. These transactions will not appear in GST returns.

Consider a scenario where Ajay Developers records sale of works contract to KM Council of India, worth Rs. 1,00,000. The transaction attracts 18% GST.
