Practical Questions & Guidance
How does Gosetle calculate CGST, SGST, and IGST?
You can set the total GST rate (e.g. 18%). For intra-state transactions, the tax divides equally into 9% CGST and 9% SGST. For inter-state transactions, the full 18% is applied as IGST.
Is an HSN/SAC code compulsory on GST invoices?
Under Indian GST rules, HSN/SAC codes are required for B2B supplies, with the required digit length (4, 6, or 8 digits) depending on the business aggregate annual turnover.
Can buyers claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) using invoices from this tool?
Yes, provided the supplier enters valid GSTIN credentials, correct invoice numbering, HSN/SAC codes, and files corresponding returns (GSTR-1) matching the invoice details.
