Configure GST and Invoice Tax Settings

Yepsta uses the selected billing location’s saved identity and settings when invoices, POS bills and estimates are created. Configure this before live billing.

Permission required

Owners can change business-wide billing settings. Managers or staff need explicit Settings access where granted. Restrict GST identity and numbering changes to authorized administrators.

Configure business identity

Open Settings → Business Identity.

Set the business GST identity

1. Enter the legal name and billing address.
2. If the business is registered, turn on GST Registered and enter Business GSTIN.
3. Confirm the billing state derived from or associated with that identity.
4. Select Save Business Profile.

If the business is not registered, leave GST registration off and do not enter a GSTIN.

Configure each billing branch

Open Settings → Branch Settings and choose Select Location. If that branch issues invoices under a GST identity, turn on GST Registered, enter the branch GSTIN and State Code, and confirm its legal/trade name, address, Invoice Prefix and starting number. Select Save Location Settings.

An invoice uses a snapshot of the location’s billing identity. Later setting changes do not rewrite historical invoice snapshots.

Choose tax behavior

Open Settings → Billing & Tax. Choose:

• Exclusive — tax added separately when catalog prices exclude GST; or
• Inclusive — tax included in price when catalog prices already include GST.

Review the default payment method and rounding behavior, then save the billing settings. Create a controlled test invoice and confirm taxable value, CGST/SGST or IGST, round-off and total.

Important information

Yepsta calculates from the data and rates your business enters. It does not determine whether you must register, which GST rate applies, or how a transaction should be reported. Confirm those decisions with a qualified tax professional.

Warning

Do not copy a GSTIN, state code or tax rate from an unrelated business or example. Incorrect identity or place-of-supply data can affect every new billing record at that location.
