Dashboard & Widgets
GST Manager gives you two places to keep an eye on your GST position: the Dashboard tab inside the module, and three widgets on the WHMCS admin home page that surface the key numbers the moment you log in. Both report on the Indian financial year (1 April – 31 March) rather than the calendar year, so the figures line up with how you file.
Addons → GST Manager → Dashboard
Financial year, the Indian way
GST returns and income are reported against India's financial year — April to March — not the January–December calendar year. Every period in these views (This FY, Last FY) follows that Apr–Mar boundary.
The in-module Dashboard
Open Addons → GST Manager → Dashboard for the full picture: invoice counts, tax breakdowns, and charts that show how your GST is trending. Use the period filters — This FY and Last FY, plus monthly and calendar-year views — to switch the whole dashboard between time ranges. It's the place to sanity-check your numbers before filing, and it also hosts the full Compliance Health panel (see below).
The three admin-home widgets
GST Manager adds three widgets to the WHMCS admin home page. Like any admin-home widget, each admin can collapse, hide, reorder and refresh them independently — so every team member sees the layout they prefer.
| Widget | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Billing | Income received (excluding GST) for Today, This Month, This FY (Apr–Mar) and Last FY. |
| GST Collected | Total GST collected — IGST + CGST + SGST — for the same periods. |
| GST Compliance Health | An overall rating plus three checks (below), each with direct links to anything that needs fixing. |
Admin home → GST Compliance Health widget
Widgets appear only while licensed
The three widgets show only while your GST Manager license is active. If they disappear, check Global Settings → License Information — see licensing.
The compliance checks
The GST Compliance Health widget runs three checks and gives you an overall rating so you can tell at a glance whether anything needs attention:
- Supplier GSTIN — is your GSTIN configured and valid? Correct tax rules depend on it.
- Malformed client GSTINs — any client whose stored GSTIN isn't a valid 15-character number. A bad client GSTIN can push an invoice into the wrong B2B/B2C bucket at filing time.
- Zero-tax domestic invoices this FY — paid invoices for Indian clients that carry no GST, which usually signals a missing or misapplied tax rule.
Each failing check lists the offending clients or invoices with direct links, so you can jump straight to the problem. Press View Issues to open the full Compliance Health panel on the GST Manager dashboard for the complete breakdown.
Fix issues before you file
Clearing the compliance checks each month means your tax reports export clean data with no last-minute surprises.
