22670 Kerala Flood Cess Introduction

Feature Video:

Kerala Government has introduced a Calamity cess called Kerala Flood Cess. It will be levied by the state’s tax department from August 1, 2019.

Below are the few applicability details:

  • Only applicable for sale to unregistered party
  • Only Local / Intra-state sale
  • Applicable for goods as well as services

For goods that attracts 5% GST, no KFC needs to be charged. For goods that attracts GST above 5%, 1% KFC needs to be charged. 


Rollout / Implementation Steps:

  • Define Additional Cess
    You can define the same in the new module introduced here: Ginesys Desktop - Admin - Utilities - GST Additional Cess

  • Define Kerala Flood Cess Ledger
    For Kerala (State code: 32), you can define the Compensation Cess Output Ledger as Kerala Flood Cess ledger.

  • Show Kerala Flood Cess in the Document Reports
    In the document reports, you need to show the cess charged in the document reports, you need to ensure the CESS (Compensation Cess) field is already available in the document report, if not, please add the same. Refer to the video for more details on this.

  • Start the billing!
    • Ginesys POS - Normal POS / POS as Collection Center
    • Ginesys Web - S&D - Retail Sale - All modules
    • Ginesys Web - Admin - Data Import - E-commerce - All data import classes
    • Ginesys Web - Admin - Data Import - Unmanaged - All data import classes
    • Online/Retail Sale - Inbound API

For more details please refer to the release video above.

Few points which shall be addressed in upcoming releases

  1. Recalculation process should have the same impact as that in the bill calculation.
  2. The Kerala Flood Cess shouldn't get synced to EasemyGST but we are storing the same in compensation cess field itself, so we need to remove the same and send to EasemyGST.

For Supermarket / FMCG clients

Unlike Apparels where no compensation cess products exists, in Supermarkets/FMCG, actual Compensation Cess is applicable for few items like aerated drinks, tobacco etc.

POS bill printing & Reporting

  • Assuming Actual Compensation Cess is 28% and Kerala Flood Cess is 1%, Compensation Cess will be showing as 29% post bill save.
  • So we need to use unitary method to segregate the 28% & 1% each respectively on hardcode basis.
  • Identifying the records which will be applicable for this:
    • The bill should be local and sold to unregistered party, i.e., customer GSTIN is null.
    • The bill should be of Kerala store.
    • GST Rate should 12% or 18% or 28 %.

Ledger posting
Since the Actual Compensation cess and Kerala Flood Cess both are posted in the Compensation Cess output Ledger, the same needs to be segregated using general journal manually.
