Download 10 GST Invoice Templates in Excel

With the implementation of Goods and Services Tax from 1st July 2017, as a registered business entity we need to issue a GST invoice whenever the supply of taxable goods or services is made.

There are two types of GST invoice under the GST regime. Those businesses registered under the general category will issue a GST Tax Invoice. Those businesses registered under the Composition Scheme will issue a Bill of Supply.

Types of GST Compliance Invoices

Depending on the nature of the supply you can define 3 types of invoices:

1. Intra-State Invoice
2. Inter-State Invoice
3. Export Invoice

A business has to issue an Intra-state invoice when the supply is done within the state in which the business is registered. The issuer of the invoice has to collect CGST and SGST on this invoice.

Example: Goods sold by a business registered in Gujarat State to another business in Gujarat State. The product is liable for the collection of 5% GST, then 2.5 % CGST and 2.5% SGST has to be deducted on the taxable value.

When a supply takes place between two different states the business needs to issue an Inter-state invoice. The business needs to collect IGST on this invoice.

Example: Goods sold by a business registered in Gujarat State to another business in Maharashtra State. The product is liable for the collection of 5% IGST has to be deducted on the taxable value.

When supply is made outside the country, an Export Invoice is issued.

Rules To Follow When Creating a GST Invoice

The government has defined some rules for issuance of GST Invoices. Subject to rule 7, a tax invoice referred to in section 31 shall be issued by the registered person containing the following particulars:-

1. Name, address, and GSTIN of the supplier.
