How will Automatic GST and Tax Calculation work in Vyapar App?
Vyapar eliminates manual errors by auto-detecting GST rates and applying the correct tax category (Intrastate or Interstate) based on your business and customer locations. This ensures your invoices are always professional, compliant, and ready for tax filing.
Before You Start
GST Settings Enabled: Turn on the GST option in the “Taxes and GST settings” to activate automation fields.
Business Profile: Save your company’s GSTIN and registered State in the business profile so the app knows your “Origin” state.
Item Tax Rates: Assign specific GST slabs (5%, 12%, 18%, 28%) and HSN/SAC codes to every product in your Item Master.

What if my vendor doesn’t have a GSTIN for an expense?
