[ERPNext V12] - How to apply CESS percentage additional to GST

[asanodaria]

Hi

Is there any way to apply CESS Amount and CGST & SGST total Amount?

For Example, there is an item called Cold Drinks with GST @ 28% (CGST @ 14% & SGST @ 14%). And need to apply CESS 12% and GST @ 28%.

** All Taxes are inclusive of taxes*

I read the ERPNext Docs: https://docs.erpnext.com/docs/v12/user/manual/en/accounts/articles/types-in-tax-template

Here, if use On Previous Row Amount option with Row #, it calculates CESS % on CGST @ 14% Amount.

Is this correct?

Another way, if use On Net Total option then it calculate on Net Total of all items. In this case, I cannot add those Items which have same GST Rate i.e., 28%. Because one Item does fall in CESS and another does not.

In these cases, how to configure CESS % in ERPNext?

@JayRam It would be big help if you guide for the same.

Hi @JayRam

Thanks for your quick response.

I have done following setup:

1. Sales Taxes And Charges Template. (All taxes are inclusive of taxes)

Taxes are applied on “On Net Total” bases

CESS @ 12% as inclusive

2. Item Tax Template GST @ 28% Configuration

3. Item Master Configuration

Item Tax – Applied new Item Tax Template GST @ 28% and CESS @ 12%

4. While creating sales invoice, if I take this one item. It shows as following in Items table and Tax Table:

It automatically calculates GST @ 28% but not CESS @ 12%

Here, I have following questions:

1. If I map CESS Tax Template in Item Master → Item Tax Child Table CESS percentage is not calculating automatically. How to apply CESS automatically like GST %

2. In single Sales invoice, If I have multiple Items with same Tax Rate i.e., GST @ 28%. Whereas one Item has GST @ 28% with CESS @ 12% and another Item does not fall under CESS @ 12%.
   Here, How will ERP calculate the CESS %?

Expected: CESS % should be applied on that item which is eligible for.

3. Same Question for Point-of-Sale Page. How will it work?

Hi @JayRam

I got the solution to apply CESS & GST automatically.

I created a separate Item Tax Template which includes following GST & CESS tax rates and mapped it into Item Master → Item Tax child table.

Item Tax Template:

Item Master → Item Tax Child Table

This way, GST with CESS automatically added while creating Sales Invoice and also in POS.
