India GST-ready REST APIs for Dynamics 365 Business Central

The missing India GST API layer for Business Central, built once, properly. GST-aware REST/OData endpoints for master data and documents, and AI/MCP tools for Copilot and other assistants — with GST computed by Business Central itself.

Works with Business Central 28 or later with Microsoft's India localization (India Tax Base + India GST). Published by SS Dynamics Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

The problem

Standard Business Central APIs know nothing about India GST

Microsoft's standard APIs (/api/v2.0/) are a global contract. They do not carry GSTIN, GST groups, HSN/SAC codes, place of supply, reverse charge or e-invoice IRN — and they cannot be extended. Microsoft's India GST localization ships no API objects of its own.

So every Indian business integrating Business Central with an e-commerce store, marketplace, e-invoicing provider, logistics system or POS ends up rebuilding the same API layer from scratch.

The answer

Indian Tax API is that missing layer

A set of REST/OData endpoints under

/api/ssd/indiantax/v1.0/

with India GST fields as first-class, writable fields. GST is calculated by the standard localization inside Business Central — never reimplemented — so what the API returns is exactly what the client shows.

What it provides

GST-aware endpoints across the full document lifecycle

1
Read + write

Master Data

Create and maintain GST-aware master records without touching the Business Central client.

  • Customers and Vendors with GSTIN, GST registration type and state
  • Items with HSN/SAC codes and GST groups
  • Locations with GST registration numbers
  • Default Dimensions
  • Indian States (read-only lookup)
2
Read + write

Documents

Headers and lines in one call, with GST computed by Business Central exactly as it is in the client.

  • Sales Orders and Sales Invoices
  • Purchase Orders and Purchase Invoices
  • Place of supply, reverse charge and GST group per line
  • Expand header + lines in a single request
  • GST amounts calculated by the standard India localization
3
Bound actions

Document Actions

Drive the document lifecycle from your integration or AI agent, with the same validations as the client.

  • Release
  • Ship & Invoice
  • Receive & Invoice
  • Post
4
Read-only

Posted Documents

Everything downstream systems need from a posted invoice, including e-invoicing details.

  • Posted Sales Invoices with lines
  • Posted Purchase Invoices with lines
  • GST amounts per line and per document
  • E-invoice IRN and acknowledgement details
  • Reverse-charge flags and bill of entry
AI-ready (MCP)

Let AI assistants query your tenant with correct GST context

Business Central 28+ includes a built-in MCP server that turns API pages into tools for AI assistants such as Copilot, Claude and ChatGPT-style agents. Because these endpoints are purpose-built API objects, they can be added to an MCP configuration so an assistant works directly against the live tenant — no extra infrastructure.

Example question

“What did we invoice to Maharashtra customers this month?”

Answered from posted sales invoices with GST amounts and place of supply — straight from Business Central.

Who it is for

  • Indian businesses on Business Central that integrate with e-commerce stores, marketplaces, e-invoicing providers, logistics systems or POS
  • ISVs and integration partners building connectors that must carry correct GST data
  • Partners who want to expose Business Central data to AI assistants with the right GST context

Key benefits

  • Stop rebuilding GST-aware APIs for every project
  • Same behaviour as the Business Central client — GST is calculated by the standard localization, not reimplemented
  • Standard OData: filtering, $expand (header + lines in one call) and Business Central’s normal OAuth security
  • Purpose-built API pages that plug straight into the Business Central MCP server
  • Free of charge, open source and developed in public
