How tax is captured on your transactions
RebateLedger captures the GST on your transactions exactly as your ERP reported it — it doesn't recalculate rates. Tax determination stays with your ERP.
A common question: does RebateLedger work out the GST on my sales? The short answer is no — and that's by design. RebateLedger captures the tax your billing system already determined, and builds on it. Knowing that sets the right expectation for where tax figures come from.
This page describes how RebateLedger records tax data; it isn't tax advice. For whether your tax determination is correct, rely on your ERP configuration and your tax advisor.
RebateLedger captures, it doesn't compute
When you load a business volume, each line brings its GST components — CGST, SGST, IGST, cess — exactly as your ERP reported them. RebateLedger stores that breakdown as-is. It does not re-derive the rate or second-guess your billing system.
Why it works this way
Your ERP already does tax determination at the point of invoicing — from the HSN code, the place of supply, the type of supply and the rest. That's the authoritative determination. Re-computing it downstream would only risk disagreeing with the document the customer actually received.
What RebateLedger does do with tax
From that captured tax, RebateLedger builds the things that depend on it — the tax on a claim, the GST credit note at settlement, and the input-tax-credit reversal that follows. The source figures, though, are always the ones your ERP supplied.
If a rate looks wrong
Because RebateLedger captures rather than calculates, a wrong rate is corrected at the source: fix it in the ERP and re-load the transaction (see edit or cancel a transaction). That keeps your settlement documents aligned with your invoices.
