GST Billing and Collections for Electrical Contractors
Invoices cover wiring jobs, supply of material and service visits, with GST applied in a format the accountant can use. Receipts, advances and balances are kept for each client in one account.
What can be invoiced
An electrical firm raises several kinds of bill, and each one is issued from the record that produced it, so the figures are not typed a second time.
Receipts and balances
Money arrives by cheque, bank transfer, UPI or cash, and each receipt is matched to the invoice or the advance it settles for that client.
GST and the accountant
Invoices carry GST at the rates the firm sets for each item or service. Whether a line is a works contract, a supply or a service is for the accountant to decide. Reports can be exported for filing, and the firm’s accountant files the returns.
What billing does not do
It does not file GST returns or decide how a client’s tax deduction is applied. Tally export is scoped during set-up for firms that keep their books there.
Frequently asked questions
Can one client have several sites on one account?
Yes. A builder with five sites has one account with invoices and balances shown by site.
Does it handle credit notes?
Yes. A credit note is raised against the invoice it corrects and reduces the client’s balance.
Can the client pay through a link?
Where a payment gateway or UPI link is set up, yes. Which one suits the firm is confirmed during scoping.
Who sets the GST rate on a line?
The firm does, on its accountant’s advice. The system applies what has been set.
