In this post you are going to learn how you can Enable and Set GST Details in Tally.

Once you have upgraded your Tally to the latest version 6.0, which for the first time includes GST (Goods and Services Tax) functionality in Tally, you have to set the GST details in Tally.

And, for setting the GST details, you need to Enable GST in Tally.

But don’t worry, it is very easy to enable and set GST details in Tally. I will walk with you through each step.

In the previous post, I have explained how you can upgrade Tally to the latest version 6.0 which includes the GST functionality.

So, if you have not yet upgraded your Tally to the latest version, have a look at that post.

Moving ahead, I am assuming you have upgraded your Tally with the latest version which includes the GST functionality and therefore we will now see how you can enable Goods and Services Tax – GST in Tally.

How to Enable Goods and Services Tax – GST in Tally

If you are familiar with the previous taxation functions (VAT, Service Tax and so on) in Tally, then let me tell you that the process is almost the same for GST.

Even if you are not familiar with the taxation functions, I am going to explain everything to you in detail.

So, chill and relax. 

 Let’s start.

• From Gateway of Tally, go to Features by pressing F11 and you will see a menu as in the picture below.

• Now, go to Statutory & Taxation and you will see a screen which is called Company Operations Alteration.Company Operations Alteration Screen in Tally

  Do you notice the name of the screen – Company Operations Alteration on the top left hand corner of the picture.

  Sometimes small things matter the most and that name is indeed in a small size.

  This is the level of detail and effort I put into to create each and every post and video on TallySchool.

  I just want to make sure, you understand Tally in detail and in a better way.

• Now, you see two options.
  • Enable Goods and Services Tax (GST)
  • Set/alter GST details
• First, we will enable GST in Tally and then we will Set the GST Details.
• Well, enabling is pretty easy.
• Press Y in the option Enable Goods and Services Tax (GST) and press Enter.
• Congratulations! You have enabled Goods and Services Tax in Tally.

I know this was just a simple step but it is required in order to go ahead and set the GST details in Tally.

Enabling the GST in Tally will open up all the functions of GST in Tally. This includes GST functions in ledgers, reports, returns and so on.

You may think it is just a small step, but trust me it is a big step which affects the whole functioning of Tally.

Now, you will see GST option in almost every place in Tally which previously was not available.

Moving forward, let me show you how to set and alter GST details in Tally.
