Recording exempt GST sales in TallyPrime involves similar steps to recording nil-rated sales, but with slight differences.
Here’s a detailed guide:
1. Configure Stock Items:
- Ensure the Taxability for the items sold is set to Exempt in the stock item master (Gateway of Tally > Create/Alter > Master > Stock Items).
2. Create a Sales Voucher:
- Go to Gateway of Tally > Accounting Vouchers > F8: Sales.
3. Enter Basic Information:
- Date: Enter the date of the sale.
- Party A/c Name: Select the customer’s ledger account.
- Reference No.: (Optional) Provide an internal reference number for the transaction.
4. Add Sale Items:
- Select the sales ledgers corresponding to the exempt items sold.
- Enter the quantities and rates for each item.
5. Set Tax Details:
- Click Enter to access tax details.
- Enable Enable Tax Details.
- Nature of Transaction: Choose the appropriate type based on the sale (Goods, Services, etc.).
- Place of Supply: Indicate if applicable for interstate transactions.
- HSN/SAC codes: Add relevant codes (mandatory for some industries).
- Tax Details:
- Set Taxability to Exempt.
- This prevents any CGST, SGST/UTGST, or IGST calculations, reflecting a nil tax value.
Crucial Distinction:
- Unlike nil-rated sales, exempt sales may still appear in your GSTR-1 report under the “Exempt” column instead of being completely omitted.
6. Save and Print:
- Press Ctrl+A to save the sales voucher.
- Go to Gateway of Tally > Display > Vouchers > Sales Register.
- Select the saved voucher and press Alt+P to print.

Important Tips:
- Consult a qualified accountant for specific guidance on recording exempt sales based on your business nature and applicable GST regulations.
