Understanding the Standard GST Invoice Format
Under the Indian Goods and Services Tax (GST) law, a tax invoice must contain specific fields to be considered valid. Missing these fields can result in compliance issues or your client being unable to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC).
Required Fields on a GST Invoice
- Your Business Name, Address, and GSTIN
- Client's Name, Address, and GSTIN (if registered)
- Unique Invoice Number and Date of Issue
- HSN or SAC code for goods/services
- Itemized details including quantity, unit price, and taxable value
- Applicable tax rates and amounts (CGST, SGST, IGST)
- Authorized Signature
