Setting Up India GST Tax Registrations for Entities

To set up tax registration for customers and vendors, enter their Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN) and GST registration type on their records. You'll need this to calculate GST for all entities under India subsidiaries.

Any business that needs to pay GST has to register on the Government of India's GST portal. Each registered business gets a unique 15-digit GSTIN based on its state and PAN.

You must enter a GSTIN for any entity registered as Regular, Composite Dealer, or SEZ except for those overseas or without a GSTIN.

To set up India GST tax registrations in an entity record:

  1. Go to Lists > Relationships > Customers or Vendors.

  2. Click Edit beside the entity you want to set up tax registration for.

  3. Click the Financial subtab.

  4. If the entity runs an e-commerce platform, check the E-Commerce Operator box.

    When you check this box, you can pick the entity in the E-Commerce Operator field and its GSTIN in the ECommerce GSTIN field on a sales transaction.

    Note:

    The E-Commerce Operator box is available only on customer records. You can use this info to file your GSTR1 tax return.

  5. Under the Tax Information section, fill in the following fields:

    • Permanent Account Number (PAN)

    • Aadhar Number

    • Registration Type

  6. Click the Tax Registrations subtab.

  7. To set up GSTIN, perform the following steps:

    1. In the Country field, select India.

    2. Select a nexus from the list for India.

    3. Select an address for the entity.

      The field displays the addresses you've added to the entity record, if you saved it after adding them.

    4. In the Tax Reg. Number field, enter the GSTIN number.

  8. Click Add.

  9. Repeat Step 7 to add multiple tax registrations for the entity.

  10. Click Save.

If you've added more than one tax registration for an entity, the first one is set as the default. You can change it by selecting another number in the Default Tax Reg. field.
