After putting AR CN for AJP in the autocount. The amount 5(a) was not reduce but the amount 6(b) will appear. whether the 5(a) will manually adjusted on GST-03 form
Hi for AR CN, you will use default SR-S tax code. This will reduce the GST amount in GST-03 column 5b. If you have more CN than your sales, column 5b will shown negative amount. To reverse the negative amount you need to do journal, please click here to learn how to reverse negative amount in GST-03
Why do we need to pay extra charges to upgrade from 1.83 to 1.9 if the transition is from GST 6% becomes 0%? The only changes are tax code and Autocount charge us to upgrade?
What happens if gov increase the GST code to 3%, means there will be another round of upgrade charges?
Hi, many may look at 0% only, where there are actually many other changes that involve especially those in multiple industries, please read the requirements here. Version 1.8 may caters for rate changes, but not 0% and or future SST functions. Malaysia is the first country that changed to 0%, thus the earlier version 1.8 is not programmed as so. Version 1.9 covers future updates related to new features, improvement and bug fixes of GST and SST.
OUR COMPANY PURCHASED AUTOCOUNT ACCOUNTING. WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN OPTION TO CREATE TAX CODE SR-0 AND TX-0 MANUALLY (VIA GST CONFIGURATION, CREATE NEW TAX CODE).
AFTER CREATED THE TAX CODE AS GUIDED BY YOUR DEALER. WE NOTICE THAT WHEN WE PRINT OUT THE TAX INVOICE, TAX CODE STILL SHOW AS “ZRL” INSTEAD OF SR-0.
PLS ASSIST.
