Every payment to FiniteHost comes with a GST tax invoice, so the panel needs to know who to bill before you can buy a plan. If you add a GSTIN, your invoices are B2B invoices that show up in your GSTR-2B, and you can claim input tax credit on them.
Before you start#
- Your business's legal name, exactly as it appears on your GST registration (or your own name if you are buying personally).
- Your billing address.
- Your GSTIN if your business is registered for GST. It is 15 characters, like
33AAACA1234A1Z5.
Add your billing details#
- Open Profile & GST. In the sidebar under Account, choose Profile & GST. You can also open it from the account menu at the top right.
- Fill in Legal name. For example,
Acme Tools Pvt Ltd. - Add your GSTIN (optional). Type it in GSTIN. Letters are turned into capitals for you.
- Choose your State. If you added a GSTIN, the state is taken from its first two digits and your choice here is ignored.
- Enter your Billing address. Use the full postal address, including the PIN code.
- Save. Press Save billing details. You see "Billing details saved."
B2B or B2C?#
| You saved | Invoice type | Place of supply |
|---|---|---|
| A GSTIN | B2B tax invoice with your GSTIN, in your GSTR-2B | The state in your GSTIN |
| No GSTIN | B2C tax invoice | The state you chose |
The place of supply decides how the 18% GST is split: CGST and SGST for Tamil Nadu, IGST for every other state. See GST and input tax credit.
Troubleshooting#
- "Name and billing address are required for a tax invoice". Fill in both Legal name and Billing address.
- "GSTIN must be 15 characters, like 33ABCDE1234F1Z5". Check for a missing or extra character, and for spaces.
- "GSTIN check digit does not match. Check for a typing mistake". The last character is a checksum of the first 14. One character is wrong; compare with your GST certificate. A common mix-up is the letter O and the digit 0.
- "GSTIN state code ... is not a valid Indian state code". The first two digits must be a real state code, such as 33 for Tamil Nadu or 29 for Karnataka.
- "Choose your state". Without a GSTIN, pick your state from the list.
- "Add your billing details first. They go on your tax invoice". You tried to buy before saving this page. Save it, then buy again.
