Supplies by GST SEZ (Special Economic Zone) companies are treated with distinct GST implications due to their tax benefits and compliance requirements.
Here’s a comprehensive guide to handling such transactions in TallyPrime:
1. Understanding SEZ Supplies in GST in TallyPrime
1. Zero-Rated Supplies:
Supplies to or by SEZ entities are generally zero-rated under GST.
This means no GST is charged if the supplier opts for supplies without payment of tax under LUT (Letter of Undertaking).
2. With Payment of Tax:
SEZ suppliers may also supply goods or services with the payment of GST, which can be claimed as a refund later.
3. Example Scenario:
An SEZ company purchases raw materials for manufacturing from a domestic supplier under LUT.
The supplier does not charge GST but must report the transaction in GSTR-1.
2. Steps to Configure SEZ Supplies in TallyPrime
1. Enable GST and SEZ Settings
- Navigate to Gateway of Tally > Features (F11) > Statutory & Taxation.
- Enable GST and set the applicable GST rates.
- Under GST details, enable the option for Applicable for SEZ for the respective company or ledger.
2. Record SEZ Sales
For sales to an SEZ company:
- Go to Accounting Vouchers (F8) and select the Sales Voucher.
- Select the SEZ Customer Ledger. Ensure the GST details are enabled and linked to the SEZ classification.
- Enter the item details, quantities, and rates.
- GST is automatically zero-rated (if under LUT) or charged (if opted with payment).
1. Example:
- Customer: XYZ SEZ Pvt. Ltd.
- Item: Machinery
- Amount: ₹1,00,000
- GST: ₹0 (under LUT)
3. Record SEZ Purchases
For purchases from an SEZ company:
- Go to Accounting Vouchers (F9) and select the Purchase Voucher.
- Select the Supplier Ledger. Set the supplier’s GSTIN and configure them as SEZ under GST settings.
- Enter item details.
- GST input credit (if charged) or zero-rated purchase is recorded accordingly.
