What Is ClearTax?
ClearTax, from Defmacro Software (now Clear), is one of India’s best-known tax platforms. For businesses it handles GST return filing, input tax credit matching, e-invoicing and e-way bills. For individuals it offers income tax return filing.
It is compliance software rather than billing software: most businesses raise invoices in their billing or ERP tool and connect it to ClearTax for filing and IRN generation.
What Is ClearTax Used For?
- Mid-sized and large businesses filing GST across several GSTINs
- Companies above the e-invoicing threshold that need IRNs generated at scale
- CA firms managing GST filings for many clients
- Salaried individuals filing their own ITR
How ClearTax Works
Sales and purchase data comes in from Tally, SAP, other ERPs or Excel. ClearTax reconciles purchases with GSTR-2B to find missed input tax credit, prepares returns, and files them. For e-invoicing it generates IRNs and QR codes through the government portal and can create e-way bills from the same data.
Questions to Ask Before You Buy
- How many GSTINs and invoices a month the quote covers
- Whether ERP connectors cost extra
- Which plan includes ITC reconciliation
- Whether e-invoicing and e-way bills are in the same subscription
Is ClearTax Right for You?
Small businesses under the e-invoicing threshold often get by with GST features in their billing app. Larger businesses, or CA firms filing for many clients, get the most value from a dedicated compliance tool like this.
