Solo Expenses supports Indian firms through GST introduction

LONDON, BIOT - July 18, 2017 - PRLog -- Faced with a tax levied at five different rates between 0% and 28%, and payable on a state or national basis, businesspeople must learn their way around the new systems quickly.

That's why Solo Expenses has revised the UK version of its app, which is already supporting businesses there with a similar sales tax.

Explained Solo Expenses co-founder Sunita Nigam: "Getting to grips with the new tax will be a steep learning curve for many, which is why we decided to help them by integrating the calculation into our smartphone app.

"We have built in a tax calculator so that users of our app simply have to tell it which rate of tax should be applied to a particular expense, and the app will work out the net price automatically. The sale, and the tax, are then collated in the app, and can be used to produce reports later, to help accountants and book-keepers."

Another new feature added to the app very recently is the option to set up new expense categories, so if businesses wanted to, they could have categories for the different tax brackets, and record spending that way.

"Solo Expenses is a flexible money management tool," she said. "We have made it extremely simple to use, even from the very first day. It is also very cost effective; it is available for a very modest outlay, and we believe the money and time saved through its use will more than cover the investment in it."

Further details of the app and its pricing structure, along with more detail of the GST rules and rates, is available on the Solo Expenses website, from where the app can be downloaded.
