Here’s a breakdown of the previous explanations, offering more detail on how TallyPrime handles GSTR-2 data, even though filing this return is currently suspended:
1. The Concept of “Table-Wise” in GSTR-2:
- The GSTR-2 form has a specific structure where your purchase data must be presented in designated tables.
- Each table focuses on a particular category of purchases or adjustments, such as:
- Purchases from registered suppliers (B2B invoices)
- Imports of goods or services
- Debit/Credit notes
- Reverse charge transactions
- Advances paid
2. TallyPrime’s Indirect Approach:
- TallyPrime doesn’t have a feature that directly displays GSTR-2 data in these exact tables.
- However, the way transactions are recorded and categorized within the software aligns with the table-wise requirements of the GSTR-2 form.
- This means that when you record purchases, TallyPrime is intelligently assigning them to underlying categories linked to the potential GSTR-2 tables.
3. Data Extraction Through Reports:
- TallyPrime doesn’t generate a ready-to-file GSTR-2 return.
- Instead, it offers various reports that present purchase data in ways relevant to each table in the GSTR-2 form. These reports include:
- Purchase Register: Details of purchases made.
- Party Ledgers: Transaction-level summaries from specific suppliers.
- Debit/Credit Note Register: List of adjustments to original purchases.
- Customizable Reports: Can be tailored to extract data for specific scenarios.
4. Understanding the Mapping
- The key to utilizing TallyPrime for GSTR-2 preparation lies in understanding how the software maps your purchase data to the different GSTR-2 tables.
- This mapping involves:
- How you create ledgers and tax categories.
- Types of vouchers used for various transactions.
- Configuration of purchase-related features like reverse charge.
5. Additional Tools:
1. Computation Details (Particulars):
This section offers a more granular breakdown of transactions and can be tailored to provide data relevant to GSTR-2 tables.
2. GSTR-2A Reconciliation:
Helps you compare your purchase records with the data reported by suppliers in their GSTR-1 returns. This highlights discrepancies for resolution.
In Summary – Tablewise GSTR-2 in TallyPrime:
While TallyPrime doesn’t have a one-click “table-wise GSTR-2 view,” it systematically manages your purchase data in a way that’s fundamentally compatible with the GSTR-2 structure.
By accessing the right reports and understanding how data is mapped, you can effectively use TallyPrime to prepare your purchase information for potential future GSTR-2 filing requirements.
Important to Remember:
