Made an Invoice is like this: 

Subtotal: ₹58,500 

shipping ₹ 350 

18% GST on above (subtotal + shipping): ₹10, 593 

Total : ₹69,443

 

But in GSTR1 report only ₹58,500 is being taken as taxable amount ?  

What happened to shipping charge?

I can tell the shipping charge isn't captured on the GSTR1 report, rjp.tristar.

 

Shipping charges entered in the built-in Shipping field will not be captured by the GSTR1. To include shipping charges, make sure they are entered along with the products/services in an invoice.

 

Aside from this, here's what QuickBooks doesn't capture in this report.

 

  • Whether the reverse charge is applicable on an invoice or sales receipt
  • GSTIN of e-commerce operator
  • TCS that is deducted by the e-commerce operator
  • Cess
  • Refund Receipt.

 

This article will explain more about the components of the report: Know more about GSTR-1 Summary and Detailed reports in QuickBooks. It includes detailed information and screenshots for your visual guide.

 

You can also browse this link to learn how GSTR-1 handles invoices and what components are included on the report: GST reports in QuickBooks.

 

Let me know if there's anything else you need about the GSTR-1 report. Just leave a comment below and I'll get back to you.

Hi,

If shipping cost is intentionally not captured in GSTR1, then why is there a field to enter the GST for shipping?  Please get rid of this field!!

 

Please see attached image.

 

Asking the user to enter GST % for shipping and showing it included in the total GST of bill amount, and then not capturing it in the GSTR1 does not make sense.

 

Meaning, Quickbooks prompts user to enter the GST on shipping and then it just discards it??

 

So one invoice is made to customer, and a totally different invoice is being uploaded!!

This is causing much confusion and unnecessary corrections with the customers.

 

Again, please see attached image below.

 

You can see the final GST amount ( and total) includes the GST entered on shipping.

So uploaded data should reflect this amount, or you should get rid of the shipping GST field, so that the user is not 'fooled' into entering GST for shipping, when quickbooks is anyway just going to throw it away !!!

Hello there, @rjp.tristar.

 

I hear you and realize the importance of getting rid of the shipping GST field to avoid confusion on your invoice.

 

As mentioned by my peer above, shipping charges entered in the built-in Shipping field will not be captured by the GSTR1. I can see how beneficial it would be to have this removed.

 

I'd encourage you to send this preference to our developers. They are constantly considering new features to be added to the system and make the program work the way your business needs.

 

To do that:

  1. Click on the Gear icon at the top.
  2. Select on Feedback.
  3. Enter your suggestion and click on Next. 

For your reference, I'm also adding here some links that provides information about filing the GSTR-1 and managing the rest of the GST reports:
