Bengaluru bills abroad more than it bills next door. Export invoices with or without payment of tax, SEZ supplies, foreign currency receipts and the refund claims that follow are ordinary work here — and they are exactly the documents a general-purpose ledger gets subtly wrong.
| Description | Qty | Rate USD | Amount USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engineering design services | 160 hr | 42.00 | 6,720.00 |
| Prototype tooling | 1 | 2,850.00 | 2,850.00 |
With payment of tax or under LUT without it — two different documents with different consequences for your refund, and tBiz treats them as different.
Supplies to a unit in an SEZ are zero-rated and classified as such on the document, so the return does not need correcting later.
Invoice in USD or EUR, receive at a different rate, and the exchange difference posts to the ledger rather than quietly distorting the party balance.
Service classification, service place-of-supply rules, and export-of-service conditions handled as their own thing rather than as goods with a different word.
Bill of materials, job work and production costing for the engineering businesses that Bengaluru is quietly still full of.
The city where headcount changes fastest is the worst place to have per-seat billing.
Yes, as a distinct document type — export without payment of tax under a Letter of Undertaking, zero-rated, separate from an export with payment of tax. The two have different refund consequences and conflating them is a common and expensive error.
Yes. The invoice is raised in the foreign currency, the receipt is recorded at the rate actually realised, and the exchange gain or loss posts to the ledger rather than being absorbed into the customer’s balance.
As zero-rated supplies, classified on the document, so they appear in the correct table of GSTR-1 and do not have to be reclassified at filing time.
Yes — SAC codes, export-of-service conditions, retainers, milestone billing and TDS tracking. The inventory side simply stays out of the way.
Start free, set up your LUT, and issue a zero-rated export document that files itself correctly.
