GSTR-1 Report

GSTR-1 is a tax return that summarises the sales and other outward supplies made by a regular dealer. It has to be filed either quarterly (if the turnover is less than Rs 1.5 crore, Rs 5 crore from Jan 2021 onwards) or monthly (if the turnover exceeds Rs 1.5 crore, Rs 5 crore from Jan 2021 onwards).

You can generate GSTR-1 in TallyPrime with all the return details. The return values are arranged in different tables as required in GSTR-1 returns. Also, you can export the returns in JSON format to upload the returns directly to GSTN or in MS Excel format to be used with GSTR-1 offline tool.

The triangulation design of the GSTR-1 report in TallyPrime helps you with:

Verification: You can check the transactions that are included in the returns and also that are not included as they are not relevant. In addition, you can view the list of transaction that are relevant but not added to returns due to errors in vouchers. And you can correct these errors using the different error resolution options to include them in the returns. Transactions which were flagged as exceptions but accepted by you as is to include in returns can be seen in Vouchers Accepted As Is report.

You can also analyse the values in each table. Drill down from any row to get the break-up of the value. You have detailed view at every level of the drill down. You can go up to the voucher level and make changes, as required. This gives you complete control on every transaction that is included in different tables of GSTR-1 returns.

Generate returns for any period: Once you are satisfied with the details of your transactions, you can generate a return file in the JSON or MS Excel format. After filing the returns, to ensure GST compliance, you have to match the information in your books with the data on the GST portal. Using the status reconciliation feature in GSTR-1 report, you can mark the status of each transaction based on the online status. You can thereby track the status of the uploaded transactions without visiting the portal.

Open GST Portal: The GSTR-1 report also provides a direct link to the GST portal. You only have to click the Open GST Portal button to open the GST portal directly in the browser.

All the transaction types are not displayed by default. Based on the voucher type used and the exclusions done by you, the relevant categories appear with the voucher count.

• Uncertain Transactions (Corrections needed): Displays the count of all vouchers with insufficient GST-related information. You can correct exceptions in the vouchers before exporting GST returns. If the computed tax is not equal to the tax entered in the invoice, the transaction appears under Uncertain Transactions (Corrections needed).

  • Press Enter on Allow tax difference up to and specify the value in the field.
