Filing GST returns is a mandatory but often stressful task for Indian business owners. From preparing invoice data to matching input tax credits and submitting returns on time — the process can feel overwhelming.

But what if you could do it all directly from your billing software?

Modern GST-ready billing solutions like Tririd Biz now simplify the entire process — from invoice generation to automated return preparation — even if you’re not a finance expert.

In this post, we’ll break down exactly how to file GST using your billing software — in plain language, step by step.

📌 What Is GST Filing?

GST filing is the process of reporting your sales, purchases, output tax, and input tax credits to the government via monthly or quarterly GST returns.

✅ Benefits of Filing GST Using Billing Software

Filing GST manually using Excel sheets or the government portal is time-consuming and error-prone. Here’s how billing software simplifies the process:

Auto-calculates GST on every invoice

Generates GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B-ready data

Matches purchase data for ITC (if integrated with purchase module)

Exports files in GSTN-compatible format (JSON, Excel)

Some platforms even offer direct API integration with GSTN

👉 Tools like Tririd Biz eliminate the need for CA intervention or Excel juggling — perfect for SMEs, freelancers, and retail businesses.

🔍 Step-by-Step: How to File GST Using Billing Software

Here’s a simplified guide for using a billing solution like Tririd Biz to prepare and file your GST return.

Step 1: Enable GST Features in Software

Go to settings → Tax → Enable GST

Enter your business GSTIN

Set up applicable GST rates (5%, 12%, 18%, 28%)

Add HSN/SAC codes for your products/services

💡 Tririd Biz comes preloaded with GST slabs and HSN codes.

Step 2: Create GST-Compliant Invoices

While billing, select the correct GST rate

Choose customer type (registered/unregistered, intra/inter-state)

Software automatically applies CGST + SGST or IGST

Save & download GST-compliant invoice

Each invoice you create will now feed into your GST return.

Step 3: Auto-Generate GSTR-1 Data

Navigate to Reports → GST Reports → GSTR-1

View/export details of all outward supplies

Software shows summary by:

B2B Sales

B2C Large/Small Sales

Credit/Debit Notes

Download data in Excel or JSON format

Step 4: Prepare GSTR-3B Summary

Go to GST Reports → GSTR-3B

View summary of:

Total taxable value

Output GST

Input tax credit (if using purchase module)

Net payable tax

Adjust any rounding or cash/credit ledger values

Step 5: File Returns on GST Portal

Even if your billing software doesn’t have direct filing integration (API), it prepares return-ready data.

Log in to gst.gov.in

Select the return (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B)

Upload invoice data (JSON/Excel)

Cross-check values

Submit, offset tax, and file

✅ If your billing software supports direct GST API filing, you can submit without switching platforms.
