GST invoicing in Coda

Each line carries its own tax category, so a plate taxed at one rate and a bottle taxed at another are calculated separately and totalled at the end. CGST and SGST are shown as distinct amounts. IGST is applied where the supply is inter-state, and cess where it applies.

Prices can be configured tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive. Coda works backwards correctly in the inclusive case rather than adding tax on top of a tax-inclusive figure.

Your GSTIN, your FSSAI licence number, HSN codes per item, the invoice number and date, the taxable value, the tax broken out by head, and the total in words and figures. Service charge, where you levy it, is shown as its own line and is not treated as tax.

Bill rounding is applied and shown, so the invoice total matches what was actually collected at the till.

GST on restaurant service depends on what kind of establishment you are, and Coda models that rather than assuming one rate. Standalone restaurants, air-conditioned premises and outdoor catering are configured separately.

For hotel restaurants, the room tariff decides the slab. Coda handles both sides of the Rs.7,500 line as a property setting, so it is not something a cashier has to remember.

If you are registered under the composition scheme, or the supply is exempt, Coda issues a bill of supply with the required declaration instead of a tax invoice. Issuing the wrong document is a compliance problem, so the choice follows your registration rather than a checkbox someone might forget.

The tax treatment applied to an order is stored with that order. If you change a rate next month, last month's invoices still show what was actually charged at the time. Your historical records do not move under you.

Taxable value and tax collected, broken down by rate and by head, exportable and ready to hand to whoever files your returns. No exports to reconcile, no spreadsheet assembled from the till roll.

Purchases logged against a vendor keep their bill attached, so the paperwork behind your input credits sits with the entry rather than in a folder behind the counter. Each vendor's running statement shows what is paid and what is outstanding.

Coda calculates from the settings you provide. Your GSTIN, registration type, tax categories, HSN codes and tariff band are yours to get right, and we recommend your accountant confirms them during setup. We help you configure it; we do not file on your behalf and this page is not tax advice.
