Overview

GST is not just a tax reform but a business reform. The success of GST implementation is heavily dependent on the technology infrastructure that businesses deploy. Millions of SMEs are adopting GST-enabled applications for invoicing, tax filing and other business transactions.

Business will need a comprehensive interconnected suite of financial apps that talk to each other and share data seamlessly. Zoho Finance Plus connects different departments of a business and gives business owners access to real-time information for faster decision making. It also organises all transactions, which can be filed with the GST portal at the click of a button.
