Greetings,
I am from India and me and my team was trying to install and configure dolibarr as the ERP application for our small organisation. However, we are facing difficulty with taxation. Actually In India taxation is similar as Spain, but still their is a bit different. I will try my level best to describe the taxation in India so that the Dolibarr team may update the application for Indian needs.
Their are primarily 4 types of invoices in Indian system both for purchase and sale.
for purchase, the type of invoices are:
Type 1: For Purchase, Invoices with the following taxation:
For Products
a: Input Vat @4%
b: Input Vat @4% + Additional Vat@1%
c: Input Vat @12.5% + Additional Vat@2%
d: Input Vat @12.5% + Additional Vat@2.5%
e: Cst @ 5%
f: Cst @ 2%, against form C
g: Retail Invoice with Vat @4%
h: Retail Invoice with Vat @4% + Additional Vat@1%
i: Retail Invoice with Vat @12.5% + Additional Vat@2%
j: Retail Invoice with @12.5% + Additional Vat@2.5%
For Services
k: Service tax@14%+ Swach Bharat Cess @0.5% + Kisan Seva cess @0.5%
l: Service tax Not Applicable.
Type 2: For Sale, Invoices with the following taxation:
For Products
a: Output Vat @4%
b: Output Vat @4% + Additional Vat@1%
c: Output Vat @12.5% + Additional Vat@2%
d: Output Vat @12.5% + Additional Vat@2.5%
e: Cst @ 5%
f: Cst @ 2%, against form C
g: Retail Invoice with Vat @4%
h: Retail Invoice with Vat @4% + Additional Vat@1%
i: Retail Invoice with Vat @12.5% + Additional Vat@2%
j: Retail Invoice with @12.5% + Additional Vat@2.5%
For Services
k: Service tax@14%+ Swach Bharat Cess @0.5% + Kisan Seva cess @0.5%
l: Service tax Not Applicable.
In short their are various changing rules since the government is applying different taxation rules in India and sooner or later this whole taxation will merge into GST hopefully from the next financial year i.e. from April 2017.
We need an ERP in which administrators can manually select the columns for taxation (upto 2 columns for products and upto three columns for services) with custom lables both for sale and purchase to cope up with the changing government rules and regulations.
Thanks for your time and support.
