• Discrepancy

I have a grocery store.. for billing i use a software at the sale counter while for accounts maintenance i use different software and at separate place... the problem is that i import the sales voucher form the billing software toh accounting software but due to two different software there is mismatch of bill when imported to accounting.. bcz i have done tax inclusive option.. so billing software reads-133.33+.33+.33+.01(round off)=140 while accounting software reads the same vocher as 133.34+.33+.33=140
Would it create problem if tax department srcutonise my record.. bcz each and every bill there is discrepancy interm of 1 paisa but final amount of each bill is same.. so this discrepancy is due to nature of software and for accounting we have to import vouchers from billing software to accounting software... so would this be land me to in trouble bcz my biiling and accounting software are different and the vouchers having very minute discrepancy but final amount is same..

- Amount in round off will not create a problem unless such amount is huge and resulting into any kind of tax evasion. If you are registered under GST, please ensure that the turnover should match with the accounting software except round off differences.

In my opinion, that should not be a problem, since the amount is very minimal and this is one of the practical problem, See, if by any mean, you can transfer the difference to round off.

If you have this turnover implement a better software and you can pay this amount out of your own pocket with this turnover.
