Common Ledger in Tally.ERP9

Tally.ERP9 gives a very flexible approach to create ledgers. To distinguish we can create GST paid ledger as Input GST and GST Received as Output GST, which segregates both GSTs hence making us easy to calculate the net GST payable to the Tax Authorities. In this case we need to calculate the net GST by subtracting the both. Another option for the same is to use common ledger. In common ledgers for both Input GST and Output GST (for eg instead of input CGST and output CGST we will use a common ledger CGST only)

The advantage of this approach is that you do’nt need to calculate the net GST payable or Input Tax Credit. It automatically computes the GST and respective ledger balance is either Debit balance or Credit balance. Let us suppose if CGST ledger has Credit balance (if Credit side balance of CGST is more than debit side) then that amount is CGST payable. On the other hand if it is debit balance then we can either claim ITC or refund of the excess taxes paid.  To create CGST ledger go to
