Tax and withholding reports
You will know which report to open for GST or VAT on sales and purchases, for tax withheld on payments either way, and for the UAE VAT return, and which fields on invoices and party records must be filled for the figures to be right.
NShine ERP does not have a separate tax module. Tax is captured on each customer invoice, supplier invoice, purchase invoice and expense line through the Tax Rate and, where it applies, Apply RCM. The reports under Reports then read those postings by rate, by party and by period.
The rates themselves are set under Settings › Tax Rates (Name and Rate), so the same screens work for GST, VAT or any other value-added tax. Country-specific filing notes are in the Country guides.
The reports
Report | What it lists | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
Customer TAX Report | Every customer invoice in the range with taxable value, tax rate, tax amount and the customer’s TRN | Output tax on sales for your GST or VAT return |
Supplier TAX Report | Supplier and purchase invoices with taxable value, rate, tax and supplier TRN, including RCM bills | Input tax and reverse-charge liability |
Receivables TDS Report | Tax withheld by customers from what they paid you, by customer and period | Claiming credit for tax deducted at source on your receipts |
Payables TDS Report | Tax you withheld from supplier payments, by supplier and period | Depositing and filing withholding on supplier payments |
UAE VAT 201 | Standard-rated, zero-rated, exempt and reverse-charge totals in the box layout of the UAE return | Filing VAT in the UAE |
Customer Invoice Aging Report | Open customer invoices by age bucket | Receivables follow-up, not tax, but often run alongside |
Supplier Invoice Aging Report | Open supplier invoices by age bucket | Payables planning |
What must be filled for the figures to be right
- Settings › Tax Rates: one row per rate you charge or are charged, named as it should print, for example GST 5, GST 18 or VAT 5.
- Customer and Supplier records: the TRN (tax registration number) and RCM Applicable where the party is under reverse charge. The TRN prints on the TAX reports.
- Customer Invoice: Tax Rate on every invoice; tick Apply RCM where the customer pays the tax instead of you, so the invoice shows no output tax.
- Supplier Invoice and Purchase Invoice: Tax Rate, and Apply RCM for unregistered or reverse-charge suppliers, so the liability is reported on your side.
- Expenses: a Tax Rate on each line where the receipt shows tax, if you want input credit on expenses.
- Withholding on payments is recorded when the receipt or payment is entered, so the TDS reports only show amounts if the deduction was captured at that point.
Reverse charge in short
Under reverse charge, the receiver of the service accounts for the tax instead of the supplier. For a transporter this usually means a registered customer pays the tax on your freight (tick Apply RCM on the customer invoice), or you pay the tax on hire from an unregistered truck owner (tick Apply RCM on the supplier invoice). The Supplier TAX Report separates RCM bills so the self-assessed liability is visible.
Running a report
- Open Reports and pick the report from the Finance or published list.
- Set Select Range to the filing period, for example Current Month or a custom range matching your return.
- Filter by customer or supplier if you are reconciling one party.
- Print or export to Excel and compare the totals with the tax ledgers on the Trial Balance for the same range.
