For VAT consultants and accountants
VAT consultants: every exporter client in one free login
Your seat is free. One login for every client's Mushak 6.3, 6.6 and VAT return, kept in their own books instead of their spreadsheets.
Your month, for each client
Mushak 6.3 invoices issued in Lekha
Local and zero-rated export invoices with gapless numbers that restart each fiscal year, credit and debit notes included. No retyping from a client's spreadsheet.
Mushak 6.6 with the right details
One certificate per supplier for each tax period's VDS, with the supplier's invoice number and date. Your client's suppliers need it to claim back the VAT deducted.
The VAT return from the client's own books
The return worksheet is built from the invoices, bills and reverse charge already in the ledger, period by period.
TDS challans and salary TDS in one place
TDS challans recorded against the bills and salaries they pay, with salary certificates at year end.
One login, every client
Every client is its own company in Lekha. You switch between them from the same login, and each client decides what you can do.
Accountant
Books, salaries and returns. That's you, free of charge.
Viewer
Reports and totals only, no salary details.
Owner
One per company, normally the client. Adds people, ends access, sees who did what.
Set a client up yourself
Bring a client to Lekha without waiting for them. You create the company, then hand it over once the books are ready.
Create the client's company and set its VAT status.
Import the opening balances, open invoices, bills and staff from Lekha's Excel templates.
Check that they match the trial balance, then go live on the first of a month.
Hand ownership to the client. You stay on as Accountant.
Who pays
- Your seat
- Free
- However many clients you work for.
If you include Lekha in your own fee, we invoice you instead of your client.
Built for your IT export clients
The parts of an exporter's books that general accounting software leaves to spreadsheets are part of Lekha.
Each company's data is kept apart in the database. Our support sees a company's books read-only, every visit is logged, and any fix goes through an audited script.How we keep data safe
- Zero-rated export invoices in USD, EUR or GBP
- Reverse charge on AWS, Google Workspace and other imported services
- The four-month repatriation deadline for every export invoice, and a PRC for every receipt
- Export receipts at the bank's rate, with exchange gains and losses
Questions from consultants
- Who owns a client's data?
- Your client. Their owner can export the full books at any time, and nothing is deleted while the law requires the records to be kept.
- Can I use Lekha for clients who don't export?
- Yes. Local invoices, bills, withholding and the VAT return work the same way. Companies on turnover tax aren't supported yet.
- Can a client remove me?
- Yes. The client's owner decides who has access and can end yours at any time. Your name stays on everything you did, so the books keep their history.
- What happens if a client stops paying?
- After 14 days' grace their books become read-only. You and your client can still open every report and export everything.
