Your Digital Invoice System Explained
GST E-Invoicing is like a digital receipt system the government uses to track business transactions. Just like you need a digital permit (e-way bill) when moving goods, businesses must create special digital invoices when selling to other businesses. Key things to know:
- Why it exists: To prevent fake invoices and tax fraud
- How it works:
- You create your regular business invoice
- The GST system gives it a unique ID number (like an Aadhaar for invoices)
- It automatically shares details with tax authorities
- Who needs it: Businesses with annual sales over ₹5 crore (₹50 million)
- Start date: Became mandatory from August 1, 2023
