StoreHippo lets you apply TDS (Tax Deducted At Source) which is a direct taxation mechanism introduced to collect taxes from the source of income itself or at the time of income payout.
As per this concept, a person (deductor) who is liable to make payment of specified nature to any other person (deductee) shall deduct tax at source, remit the same into the government account, and transfer the balance to the deducted. The person who makes the payment deducts tax at the source, while the person who receives a payment/income has the liability to pay tax.
Calculation of the TDS tax is explained with the help of an example below where the shipping charges are applied and tax is inclusive:Order Value: 1400/-
Shipping Value: 100/-
Total Order Value: 1500/-
GST on the order value at the rate of 5% for value 1400/- is: 66.67/-
GST on Shipping of value 100/- at
Total Order Amount (A): 1500/-
Total GST Amount (B): 71.43/-
Net Amount (C)=( A-B): 1428.57/-
