Input Service Distributor (ISD) for Sage300

By | May 9, 2025

In the complex structure of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India, businesses with multiple branches or units often face challenges in distributing input tax credits efficiently. This is where the Input Service Distributor (ISD) mechanism plays a crucial role. Designed to streamline the allocation of input tax credit (ITC) across different branches of an organization, ISD helps ensure compliance and effective utilization of tax credits.

What is an Input Service Distributor (ISD)?

An Input Service Distributor (ISD) is a registered GST Tax Payer who receives Input Services Invoices and then distributes the eligible Input Tax Credit (ITC) to its units or branches. The recipients of this ITC must be registered under the same PAN, and can be located in different states with different GST Numbers across India.

Key Features of ISD

  • Centralized Billing: Services are invoiced to the ISD unit, even though the benefits are shared across multiple branches.
  • Credit Distribution: ITC is distributed to respective branches as per their Turnover of the year.
  • Separate Registration: The ISD obtains a separate GST registration, different from the normal taxpayer GST registration.
  • Applicable Only to Services: The ISD mechanism applies only to input services, not goods or capital goods.

To handle this concept in our Sage 300 ERP, we have introduced this provision in our Goods & Service Tax Addon. With this feature, user will be able to easily distribute the ITC to its various branches based on the ISD Registration and GST number. We have introduced a distribution screen that will have help user identify the total taxes paid and distribute the same based on Turnover and required percentage. Below is the screen that helps distribute the taxes.

These ISD Invoices will also be available in report format which are in compliance with Rule 54(1) along with readiness of data required for filing GSTR-6 (Return for ISD).

The Input Service Distributor mechanism is a powerful tool for businesses operating across multiple locations. It not only facilitates the appropriate use of input tax credits but also contributes to smoother GST compliance. However, accurate implementation, proper documentation, and a clear understanding of the rules are essential to avoid penalties and optimize benefits.
