Set up GST and taxes

Set up GST so the right tax is added to your orders and printed on your invoices. You set the tax rules once for your store, then give each product its GST rate.

Set up GST for your store

1. Go to Store Manager → Setup → Shop Profile.
2. Open the Tax Settings tab. (The same settings are also under Store Manager → Setup → Settings, on the Orders tab, then Tax.)
3. Turn on GST.
4. Choose your GST state. This is the state your business is registered in.
5. Enter your GSTIN. If you have a TIN, enter it too.
6. If you want to record HSN or SAC codes on your products, turn on HSN.
7. Save your changes.

Tax settings

Set the GST rate on a product

1. Go to Store Manager → Products → Manage Products and open the product. Or go to Store Manager → Products → Add a Product.
2. On the Product Details tab, enter the GST Rate (or Tax Rate %).
3. Tick Inclusive of GST Tax if your price already includes GST. Leave it unticked if GST should be added on top.
4. If HSN is on, enter the product's HSN/SAC code.
5. Save the product.

To set GST rates for many products at once, use the GST or TAX RATE, IS TAX INCLUSIVE and HSN columns in the products CSV. See Upload products in bulk.

Example

Your store is in Karnataka and GST state is set to Karnataka. You sell a ₹1,000 shirt with a 5% GST rate. A customer in Bengaluru pays GST for an order inside your state. A customer in Chennai pays IGST, because the order goes outside your state.
