Setting Up India GST Tax Registrations for Entities

Setting up tax registration for entities (customers and vendors) involves entering Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN) and GST tax registration type on entity records. This action is required to calculate India GST for all entities under India subsidiaries.

All businesses where GST applies must register themselves on the GST portal of the Government of India. Each registered entity receives a unique 15-digit GSTIN based on the entity’s state and Permanent Account Number (PAN).

You must enter GSTIN for an entity registered as Regular, Composite Dealer, or SEZ except for those located overseas or do not have 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 for which you want to set tax registration.

  3. Click the Financial subtab.

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

    Checking this box lets you select the entity in the E-Commerce Operator field and the entity’s GSTIN in the ECommerce GSTIN field on a sales transaction.

    Note:

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

  5. Under the Tax Information section, enter values 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 of nexuses available for the selected country.

    3. Select an address for the entity.

      The field lists the addresses that you added on the entity record, provided you saved the record after adding an address.

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

  8. Click Add.

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

  10. Click Save.

If you have added multiple tax registrations for an entity, the first tax registration number is set as default for the entity. You can change the default value by selecting another tax registration number in the Default Tax Reg. field.
