Country-aware checks

  • Tax terminology: GST
  • Business ID label: Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN)
  • For an Indian GST tax invoice, Rule 46 requires the supplier's name, address and GSTIN; a consecutive serial number; issue date; registered-recipient identity and GSTIN/UIN; HSN or accounting code; description, quantity for goods, value, taxable value, rate and amount of tax; place of supply for interstate supplies; delivery address when different; reverse-charge indication; and the supplier's signature or digital signature, subject to the rule's conditions and special-document exceptions.
  • Use a consecutive serial number, unique for the financial year, containing no more than 16 characters as prescribed by CGST Rule 46 for a tax invoice. Sector-specific documents and revised invoices can follow separate rules.
  • A registered person must generally retain GST accounts and records for 72 months from the due date of the annual return for the relevant year. Appeals, revisions, proceedings and investigations can extend that period.
  • Where India's e-invoicing mandate applies, the supplier reports invoice data to an Invoice Registration Portal for authentication and an IRN and signed QR code. The official portal describes the current notified class as taxpayers whose aggregate annual turnover reached INR 5 crore or more in a preceding financial year from 2017-18, with exclusions and document/transaction limits. This local printable document does not report to an IRP or receive an IRN or signed QR code.
