Hi,
I am using the plugin and trying to calculate the taxes for India. The current settings are showing:
1. Taxable value.
2. Taxes (adding multiple taxes in CGST and SGST – Intrastate taxes in India)
3. Amount including tax.
I need some more fields like HSN Code and Discount Rates with Amount.
How to show the same, please suggest.
Thanks
