The e-Invoicing & GST Compliance Burden that has Business Owners & Tax Departments in Dilemma

GST just completed its three years in our country, is definitely a success & way better than the previous VAT system of taxation.

But what are the views of businesses about GST? Well, it's no secret that one of the most major concerns businesses have is the highly complicated GST compliance.

Businesses still find it difficult to comply with & understand various provisions of the GST Law.

Let's see the case of Mr. Singh who is Business Owner having an annual turnover of more than Rs. 500 Crores & here is how he is currently handling the GST compliance-

e invoicing software
  • Invoices- The invoices are created & accounted in the billing systems, manually.
  • e-Invoicing- Mr. Singh was troubled with the idea of making too many changes to his business to comply with the new provision of e-Invoicing.

But for the sake of compliance & to avoid friction, he has revamped his billing System & ERP to comply with the Schema Format.

Currently, his invoices are created within the ERP in the format > converted into JSON > uploaded on the IRP > The IRP validates the invoice & assigns IRN & QR code > The e-Invoices are then downloaded from the IRP & uploaded on the ERP again for accounting.

Since the IRP has not yet rolled out the bulk generation facility, the same process applies to individual invoices.

  • e-Way Bills- Invoices are converted into JSON Files & uploaded on the e-Way Bill Portal to generate e-Way Bills. The e-Way Bill data is then manually accounted back in the Billing system.
  • GST Return Filing- Mr. Singh uses the GST offline utility tool to file his GST returns. The invoice data is downloaded from the ERP, but the utility has a defined format of its own & so the data must be manually copy-pasted into the Offline utility Excel.

Errors are also checked & rectified manually, the Utility is then converted to JSON & uploaded to the GST Portal for filing the return.

  • ITC or GSTR-2A-Reconciliation- Mr. Singh's accounts team reconciles the data manually by matching individual columns of GSTR-2A with that of the Books of accounts.

Now, there are a few major issues with this process that concerns Mr. Singh-

e invoicing Software

1. Time Consumption

The entire GST compliance process takes up too much time of his Accounting team. The team has to work dedicatedly days before the due date to meet the deadline efficiently.

2. Requires too many efforts

The process also consumes a lot of effort since there is too much manual work that requires focus & dedicated efforts

3. Lack of accuracy

Despite the efforts & Time investment manual errors are very common, but errors in GST return Filing can affect the business.

4. Hampered Business Growth & productivity

All the factors mentioned above shift the agenda of the business from growing & developing to simply struggling with GST compliance, it also hampers the productivity of the staff

5. Integration

Opting for external solutions like ASPs to ease up the compliance burden can be a solution but the integration is highly complex, requires external licenses & changes to the ERPs & Billing Systems

6. Handling High Volume

Being a large Business, handling the high volume manually, using the utility tool & the external solutions like ASPs, is one of the most difficult task for Mr. Singh’s Accounts Team.

7. Security & Confidentiality

The external solutions do not guarantee the data security & Businesses are well aware of the consequences of data leakage or theft. It can be fatal for the business in multiple ways & cause more than just monetary trouble

8. Monetary Losses

GST compliance is the most important factor to determine the smooth running of a Business, any glitches may result in notices, scrutiny, & penalties
