# Tax reports

GST Manager generates structured CSV reports for tax filing and financial reconciliation under **GST Manager → Reports** (*"Download CSV exports for compliance filings"*):

* **Automated classification:** Pre-sorts transactions into appropriate statutory reporting buckets.
* **Custom date ranges:** Filter records by configurable From/To date boundaries.
* **Direct download:** Export standard CSV files compatible with filing utilities and spreadsheets.

::: info B2B vs B2C classification

* **B2B invoices:** Transactions where the customer provided a validated 15-character **GSTIN**.
* **B2C invoices:** Domestic transactions without a registered GSTIN.

## Available report formats

Every report includes independent date-range pickers and a **Download CSV** action:

| Report | Description | Primary Use Case |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **GSTR-1 (B2B & B2C)** | *"B2B (with GSTIN) and B2C (no GSTIN) on a single CSV with a Section column."* | Monthly or quarterly GSTR-1 return preparation. |
| **Export invoices** | *"Only invoices flagged as export (billing country ≠ India)."* | Export turnover verification and FEMA compliance. |
| **Legacy — all paid invoices** | *"Every paid invoice across the date range — domestic + export."* | General ledger auditing and comprehensive tax reconciliation. |

## Report selection criteria

Choose the appropriate report based on your task:

* **GSTR-1 (B2B & B2C):** Use for standard tax returns. The **Section** column categorizes line items into 4A (B2B) and 7 (B2C) filing tables automatically.
* **Export invoices:** Use when auditing zero-rated international transactions or cross-border revenue.
* **Legacy — all paid invoices:** Use for internal accounting to reconcile total sales against bank statements.

1. Navigate to **GST Manager → Reports**.
2. Set the **From** and **To** date pickers to match your filing tax period.
