How do I enter a GST inclusive journal entry so that I don't have to manually calculate the exclusive amount for each line?

Hi, cjfranke 

For Purchases/Expenses under the Debits column enter the amount and under the GST column select the relevant GST rate on purchases this will automatically calculate the Credits column with the GST amount ( inclusive of GST/ Gross amount ).

For Sales  under the Credits column enter the amount and under the GST column select the relevant GST rate on sales this will automatically calculate the Debits column with the GST amount ( inclusive of GST/ Gross amount ).

Check the attached screenshot

Hi, but I still find it very time consuming considering if have have several lines for journal entries.. Would be great to have option to choose tax exclusive and inclusive optin.

when i am passing the journal i dont see that amounts reflected in the GSTR report

Hi ivrtejaswi,

The journal entry will show on the GST Report (eg GST Detail Report) as long as a) one line has a GST code associated with it or b) the lines have different GST codes assigned. If there is no GST code on the journal at all, it will not display on the report. Similarly, if the entry has the same GST codes on both lines it will not show as these codes zero or balance each other out.

I have to include GST to the expenses. How do I do that? Are these the right steps?

Select - 'Amounts are': 'Inclusive of tax',

Then - 'GST on purchase: 'GST on purchase 10%'

Hi Fae89, 

Yes, on the Amounts are field box, you have option to choose whether you use Inclusive or Exclusive of Tax.  Then select the rate on the GST column.
