Get the month’s GST report and the GSTR-1 file

InBilling does not file your returns — you or your accountant do. What it prepares is the month, checked: a GST report with the figures split the way GSTR-3B asks for them, a GSTR-1 file in the government offline tool’s own format, and an Excel workbook your accountant can read.

Where to click

1. Open the GST report under reports and pick the month.
2. Read the report: taxable turnover, the tax collected split into CGST, SGST and IGST, the exempt and nil-rated line kept separate, and the document counts GSTR-1 asks for — issued, B2B, B2C, bills of supply, cancelled, and any excluded because they predate registration.
3. Fix anything it names. The report lists each bill that will cause trouble and says why: a GSTIN checksum that fails, a state that contradicts the GSTIN, a missing place of supply on an inter-state bill.
4. Write the GSTR-1 file — JSON in the government offline tool’s own format, from the same figures behind the report — and the workbook for your accountant.

What is in the GSTR-1 file

B2B with reverse charge marked, B2CL and B2CS, exports with the shipping bill, credit and debit notes, the HSN summary with unit codes, nil-rated, and document issue. Empty tables are left out. The workbook has a summary sheet, outward supplies by rate, exempt and nil-rated, the HSN summary, and the documents issued — with cancelled bills kept on the series so no number appears to have gone missing.

Note. The GST report, the GSTR-1 file, the e-invoice document and the e-way file have been checked over 15,000 computer-generated months against a second independent implementation — but no filed month has yet been signed off by a chartered accountant from InBilling’s own output. Run your first month alongside us; say so when you call.
