A GST invoice is issued by a registered supplier for taxable goods/services, displaying GST amounts and allowing for Input Tax Credit (ITC). A non-GST invoice, often called a bill of supply, is issued by unregistered sellers or for exempt goods, omitting tax details and ITC. Key differences include registration requirements, HSN codes, and tax calculation.
A GST tax invoice is a document issued by a seller to a customer when goods or services are sold at a taxable price. An invoice bill does not include the tax amount payable, while a GST tax invoice does. This is important to remember when filing taxes, as the tax amount payable must be included in the calculation.
Purchases from Non-GST-Registered Suppliers
Always check invoices to confirm the supplier is registered before including the GST claim. Example: Buying office supplies from a small business that isn't registered for GST means you cannot claim GST on that purchase.
Supplies which don't come under the scope of the GST are termed as Non-GST supplies. However, these supplies can attract taxes other than the GST as per the jurisdiction of the state or the country. Some examples of such supplies include petrol, alcohol, etc.
GST is chargeable at the time of supply. Invoice is an import- ant indicator of the time of supply. Broadly speaking, the time of supply of goods is the date of issuance of invoice and the time of supply of services is the date of issuance of invoice or receipt of payment, whichever is earlier.
Which one your business uses depends on whether your business is registered for goods and services tax (GST). Tax invoices – GST-registered businesses must use these. It shows the GST on the goods or services you've sold. Regular invoices – businesses that aren't registered for GST use invoices that don't show any tax.
