Complete Guide to Recording CGST, SGST & IGST in Tally

Correct GST ledger setup is the foundation of accurate return filing. This guide covers CGST, SGST, and IGST recording in Tally Prime with practical examples.

Setting Up GST Ledgers

Create ledgers under Duties & Taxes: CGST @ 9%, SGST @ 9%, and IGST @ 18%. For interstate purchases, use IGST. For intrastate, split equally between CGST and SGST.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Never record IGST as CGST+SGST combined. Never use the same ledger for input and output tax. Always verify HSN codes match between invoice and Tally masters.

LekhaFlow automatically creates the correct tax ledgers and maps them per invoice type — eliminating human error in GST classification.
