What Tiybe's GST workflow covers

Compliance features are easy to list and hard to evaluate. "GST filing" on a feature grid could mean anything from a full return workflow to a CSV export you still have to reconcile by hand. This is what the phrase covers in Tiybe, part by part.

Monthly returns: GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B

The two returns that define the monthly rhythm are GSTR-1, the statement of outward supplies, and GSTR-3B, the summary return. Tiybe treats both as an outcome of the books rather than as a separate data-entry exercise.

The practical difference is where the numbers come from. Invoices raised in Tiybe already carry the tax treatment they were raised under, so the outward-supply figures are assembled from transactions that already exist rather than re-keyed from a spreadsheet at the end of the month. The work that remains is the work that genuinely needs a person: checking the classifications that were ambiguous, resolving the invoices that were never entered, and deciding the calls that are judgement rather than arithmetic.

The compliance calendar

A calendar sounds like the least technical feature in the list and is often the most useful one. Its job is to make the shape of the period visible — what is due, for which company, and what has already been dealt with — so that nothing is discovered late.

That matters more the more companies you carry. One business has a rhythm you can hold in your head. Fifteen do not, and the failure mode is never that you did not know the rules; it is that one company's return was not on anybody's list this month.

We deliberately do not publish specific statutory due dates in this article. Dates and thresholds change, and a marketing page is the wrong place to learn one from. The calendar inside the product is what you should be working from, alongside the official source.

Notices

Notices are the part of compliance that arrives unannounced and then needs a paper trail. Tiybe includes GST notice management so a notice is tracked as a thing with a state — received, being worked, responded to — attached to the company it concerns, rather than living in somebody's inbox.

The reason to keep it in the same system as the books is that answering a notice almost always means going back to specific transactions. Having the notice and the ledger in one place removes the step where you go looking for which return, which period and which invoice it referred to.

Annual compliance

Beyond the monthly cycle, Tiybe's annual compliance module covers the year-end set: GSTR-9, income tax and ROC filings. This is a different kind of work from the monthly returns — lower frequency, higher stakes, and much more reconciliation between figures that were each individually correct at the time.

Availability of the annual set varies by plan, as does notice management. The pricing page comparison table is the authority on which plan includes which; it is generated from the same feature catalogue the application enforces, so it does not promise capabilities that the product will then decline to open.

Where the software stops

Worth being direct about this, because compliance software is easy to oversell.

Tiybe assembles returns from your books, keeps the calendar, and holds the paper trail. It does not decide the treatment of a transaction you have classified wrongly, and it does not know about a sale that was never entered. The quality of a return is still the quality of the underlying books — which is the real argument for capturing transactions continuously rather than in a scramble at period end.

That is the subject of a separate article: getting transactions into your books.
