Odoo GST – Returns and Invoices

Updated 17 March 2023

INTRODUCTION

Odoo GST – Returns and Invoices: An application that helps to file the monthly return that summarizes all outward supplies by registered taxpayers. This application helps to generate CSV for all types of customers(B2B, B2BUR, B2CS, B2CL, Export, Import).

Time and again, we have emphasized and underlined that using the right kind of technology for tax-related processes is going to become extremely important. This time we have come up with a module that helps to file the monthly return that summarises all outward supplies (sales) by registered taxpayers.

A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO GST

 What is GST Return?

A return is a document containing details of income that a taxpayer is required to file with the tax administrative authorities. This is used by tax authorities to calculate tax liability.

Under GST, a registered dealer has to file GST returns that include:

  • Purchases
  • Sales
  • Output GST (On sales)
  • Input tax credit (GST paid on purchases)

GSTR-1: Details of outward supplies of taxable goods and/or services affected.

GSTR-2: is a monthly return that summarizes the details of inward purchases of taxable goods and/or services.

GST INVOICES

Invoices are of various types depending on various parameters like the customer’s delivery address, order amount, etc.

With the help of this module, Invoices are created as per these standard order types – B2B, B2CS, B2CL, and Export.

  • B2B: It means Business to Business Invoice. These registered parties may be within a state or outside the state
  • B2CS: It means Business to Small Customer Invoice.  It means Local (within the state) sales to Unregistered persons of an amount less than 250000
  • B2CL: It means Business to Large Customer Invoice.  It means Interstate sales to Unregistered persons or amount more than 250000
  • Export: It means sales outside the country.
  • A reverse charge is a mechanism where the recipient of the goods and/or services is liable to pay GST instead of the supplier.
