How can I enter data w.r.t. currency sale / purchase (forex) ?

You may enter data for currency sale / purchase by creating a customised data form. Currency sale data form should have the following columns: –

1. Sale Amount ( No GST class should be attached with this account. )
2. Taxable Amount ( Relevant GST Class should be attached e.g. Sale Local @ 18%. )
3. CGST Amount ( Relevant GST Class should be attached e.g. CGST Output Tax. )
4. SGST Amount ( Relevant GST Class should be attached e.g. SGST Output Tax. )
5. Taxable Service Contra (No GST class should be attached)

Data Form will look like as shown in pic 1. You need to transfer amount from Taxable Service Contra to Taxable Service Account periodically by passing journal voucher with transaction type ‘T’ (transfer).

While calculating taxable amount, valuation rules under GST should be considered. There are two methods available under the valuation rules. Click here to view article on valuation rules. One of the method is as under: –
