How to Enable Separate B2B and B2C HSN in Tally for GST Return Filing:

How to Enable Separate B2B and B2C HSN in Tally for GST Return Filing The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has introduced changes on GST Portal where the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) must be reported separately for Business-to-Business (B2B) transactions and Business-to-Consumer (B2C) transactions in Table 12 of GSTR-1 and GSTR-1A. Therefore, all taxpayers filing GSTR-1 and GSTR-1A must comply with this new update. Effective from the Tax period of May 2025, this separation would ensure that the tax filings are more accurate and the businesses follow standardised reporting methods. Businesses must update their accounting software, to endure this change. Since many businesses are using Tally, to comply with the new reporting format, we are sharing how to enable separate B2B and B2C HSN in Tally for GST return filing.
