GST Tax Invoice Format

An invoice missing a mandatory field under Rule 46 can cost your customer their input tax credit and expose you to penalty. This format lists every field the rule requires, in the order it usually appears on a printed invoice.

How to use this format

  • •Use a consecutive invoice series for each financial year, not exceeding 16 characters.
  • •Show CGST and SGST separately for intra-state supplies, and IGST for inter-state supplies.
  • •Issue within 30 days of supply of services, or at the time of removal of goods.
