GST, short name for Goods & Services Tax, might not be a new term for many around the world. However, it will definitely be new for most of the Indian citizens.
Recently, the Indian Government passed a bill which levied GST tax on all the goods bought and sold in India. Now, there are various aspects to GST which can be understood by you better from any professional such as a CA.
However, we are here to solve the common problem which small-scale traders have been facing regarding GST. This is to create GST Billing or Invoice which are needed for any sale that you make.
Now, those who cannot afford a CA will have to rely on software professionals to create GST Billing for them. But most of the traders prefer to keep a dedicated person in their office for this purpose.
