What is different about filing in Vadodara

The process below is the same across India. These are the parts that are set by Vadodara and its state, and they are the parts that decide where your paperwork goes.

Professional tax
Gujarat levies professional tax, administered through the municipal corporation for most employers.
Shops & Establishments Act
Registration runs under the Gujarat Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2019.

Vadodara questions we get asked

Do I have to deduct professional tax for staff in Vadodara?
Gujarat levies professional tax, administered through the municipal corporation for most employers. It is separate from PF and ESI, and the employer registration is due regardless of headcount.
Which establishment law applies to a Vadodara office?
The Gujarat Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2019. It governs the registration itself, the renewal cycle, and the working-hours, overtime and leave entitlements your Vadodara staff can claim — all of which differ from the neighbouring state's act.

E-commerce accounting is more than recording marketplace payouts

An online order can generate multiple accounting records.

For example, a transaction may involve:

Customer order → Sale → GST → Marketplace charges → Payment/settlement → Return/refund → Tax deductions → Bank receipt

If the accounting process only records the amount deposited into your bank account, important information can be lost or misclassified.

CorporateWalla helps reconcile the underlying components according to your business model and the agreed accounting scope.

Marketplace Accounting

Amazon Accounting

We can help reconcile Amazon-related accounting records, including the components relevant to your settlement statements.

Depending on the scope, this can include:

  • Sales
  • Marketplace fees
  • Shipping-related charges
  • Returns
  • Refunds
  • Settlement amounts
  • TCS-related records
  • TDS-related records where applicable

  • Returns
  • Refunds
  • Settlement reconciliation
  • TCS-related records
  • TDS-related records where applicable
  • GST-related accounting
  • Bank reconciliation

  • Refunds
  • Discounts
  • Payment gateway receipts
  • Gateway charges
  • Bank settlements
  • GST-related accounting
  • Inventory
  • Customer balances

  • Website orders
  • Payment gateways
  • COD
  • Prepaid orders
  • Returns
  • Refunds
  • Shipping
  • Discounts
  • Inventory
  • GST
  • Bank settlements

CorporateWalla can structure the accounting workflow around your sales channels and reporting requirements.

E-commerce Settlement Reconciliation

Settlement reconciliation is one of the most important parts of marketplace accounting.

The amount credited to your bank account may differ from your gross sales because of deductions and adjustments.

Depending on the platform and business model, these can include:

  • Marketplace commissions
  • Payment processing charges
  • Shipping charges
  • Advertising charges
  • Returns
  • Refunds
  • Other platform adjustments
  • Taxes deducted/collected where applicable

We reconcile the relevant settlement information with the accounting records.

The objective

Marketplace data → Accounting records → Settlement → Bank

The four should be capable of being reconciled within the agreed reporting process.

Gross Sales vs Marketplace Settlement

One of the most common e-commerce accounting mistakes is treating the marketplace settlement received in the bank as automatically equivalent to sales revenue.

They are not necessarily the same number.

A marketplace may deduct fees, adjustments, refunds or other amounts before remitting the settlement.

The appropriate accounting treatment depends on the contractual arrangement, transaction structure and applicable accounting principles.

CorporateWalla can help establish a reconciliation framework so that the accounting records can be traced back to the underlying marketplace information.

E-commerce GST Accounting

E-commerce businesses can have additional GST considerations depending on their business model, locations, products, marketplace arrangements and transactions.

CorporateWalla can assist with the accounting records relevant to GST compliance, including:

  • Sales accounting
  • GST classification
  • Taxable value
  • GST ledgers
  • Purchase accounting
  • Input-tax-related records
  • Marketplace reconciliation
  • TCS-related reconciliation
  • GST-related reports
  • GST return data preparation

GST filing can be included where specifically agreed.

The applicable GST treatment should always be determined based on the nature of the transaction and current law.

TCS & TDS Accounting for E-commerce

E-commerce businesses may encounter tax amounts collected or deducted through marketplace or payment arrangements.

Depending on the platform and transaction structure, we can help reconcile the relevant records with the accounting books.

This may involve:

  • TCS-related records
  • TDS-related records
  • Tax ledgers
  • Marketplace statements
  • Reconciliation
  • Accounting adjustments

The applicable tax treatment and rate depend on the transaction, platform, seller structure and current law.

We therefore do not use a single blanket tax rate across all e-commerce businesses.

Returns, Refunds & RTO Accounting

Returns can create accounting differences if they are not properly linked to the original sale.

Your accounting workflow may need to consider:

  • Customer returns
  • Refunds
  • Replacement orders
  • Cancelled orders
  • Return-to-origin shipments
  • Credit notes
  • Marketplace adjustments
  • GST implications
  • Inventory movement

CorporateWalla can help reconcile the relevant transactions and maintain the accounting records according to the agreed process.

E-commerce Inventory Accounting

E-commerce profitability cannot be understood properly without considering inventory.

Depending on your business, we can support:

  • SKU accounting
  • Purchase accounting
  • Stock records
  • Opening inventory
  • Closing inventory
  • Stock reconciliation
  • Returns
  • Damaged/unsaleable stock
  • Inventory adjustments
  • Cost tracking
  • Channel-wise reporting

For businesses with more complex inventory or manufacturing requirements, our Tally Accounting service may be appropriate.

Channel-wise Profitability

Revenue alone does not tell you which sales channel is actually profitable.

Depending on the available data, we can help structure reports around:

  • Gross sales
  • Discounts
  • Returns
  • Marketplace fees
  • Payment gateway charges
  • Shipping costs
  • Product cost
  • Other channel expenses
  • Contribution/profitability measures

This can help compare:

Amazon vs Flipkart vs Shopify vs D2C

The exact profitability methodology should be agreed based on the costs and data available.

Pricing details

Package limits are indicative.

  • Number of GST registrations
  • Number of SKUs

E-commerce Accounting for Multi-GSTIN Businesses

As your e-commerce business expands, you may operate across multiple GST registrations or locations.

The accounting process may then need to distinguish:

  • GSTIN
  • Location
  • Sales
  • Purchases
  • Inventory
  • Tax
  • Marketplace settlements
  • Inter-location transactions

We can structure the accounting workflow around your business requirements.

The exact GST treatment depends on the transaction and applicable law.

What if your e-commerce books are already behind?

Don’t simply start recording the latest month’s transactions.

If historical marketplace settlements have not been reconciled, first identify the outstanding accounting issues.

Accounting Health Check

We can review:

  • Marketplace settlements
  • Bank balances
  • Customer/vendor ledgers
  • GST-related records
  • TCS/TDS-related records
  • Inventory
  • Historical P&L
