GST & taxes

GST in Ledgerly lives inside the accounting engine — it's applied when documents post, not patched on at export time.

How GST is applied

Place of supply decides the split: same state as your company → CGST + SGST; different state → IGST. Ledgerly selects this automatically on every invoice.
Transaction types get their statutory treatment: Export / SEZ is always IGST; Nil-rated / Exempt is always 0%.
Input vs output GST post to separate ledger accounts, so what you owe and what you can claim never blur together.

Set your GSTIN under Settings → Company Profile — it appears on invoices and in your GSTR-1 export.

GST summary

GST & Tax → GST Summary shows the period's position at a glance: output GST collected on sales, input GST paid on purchases, split by CGST/SGST/IGST.

Tax ledger

GST & Tax → Tax Ledger is the transaction-level view — every GST posting with its source document, if you need to trace a number.

GSTR-1 export

GST & Tax → GSTR-1 generates your outward-supplies return from posted invoices:

The GSTR-1 page for March: B2B invoices grouped by customer GSTIN with taxable and total amounts, Excel and JSON export buttons

GST & Tax → GSTR-1 — B2B supplies grouped by GSTIN, with Excel and portal-JSON export.

Pick the month or quarter.
Review the breakdown — B2B (registered buyers, with GSTIN), B2C (consumers), plus export/SEZ and nil-rated supplies, each with the correct tax split.
Export as JSON (upload it directly to the GST portal's offline tool) or Excel (for review or your accountant).

Ledgerly validates the data before export — for example, every invoice must have a mappable place of supply, so the JSON never reaches the portal with an invalid state code.

Tip: invoices only enter GSTR-1 once posted. Drafts are ignored, so post everything for the period before exporting.
