Reporting¶
GST report¶
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) report is a critical tax reporting requirement for businesses registered for GST. The GST return is used to report and remit GST to the Inland Revenue Department (IRD).
The base and tax amounts are collected from the GST taxes, which are pre-configured in Odoo to align with GST Return requirements (Boxes 1-15) through their tax grids. The GST taxes can also be manually configured for special use cases, such as specific GST treatments (e.g., zero-rating for exported agricultural goods). Once the GST setup for each tax is complete, Odoo automatically categorizes journal items into the appropriate boxes, which are shown in the tax report.
- menu
- Accounting ‣ Reporting ‣ Dynamic Reports ‣ Tax Report
- shows
- The tax report of a New Zealand company listing the GST return boxes (Box 5 Total sales and income, Box 6 Zero-rated supplies, … Box 15 GST to pay/refund) with their base and tax amounts.

- module

Important
The GST report is not submitted directly to the IRD. Instead, Odoo automatically calculates the required values for each section, providing options to audit and review the data. Businesses can then submit these values to the IRD portal.

Industry-specific features¶
Buy Now, Pay Later solutions¶
Buy Now, Pay Later solutions are popular payment methods for e-shops. Some of these solutions are available via the Stripe and AsiaPay payment providers.
Point of Sale terminals¶
To have a direct connection between Odoo and a PoS terminal, a Stripe terminal is needed. Odoo supports the EFTPOS payment solution.
Note
A Stripe payment terminal is not needed to use Odoo as the main POS system. The only drawback of not using Stripe is that cashiers must manually enter the final payment amount on the terminal.
