📄

Tax Invoice Creation Overview

One of the important tasks in GST compliance is issuing invoices in a compliant manner as key documents with buyer and seller information.

Important: With EZTax.in GST accounting software, you can generate GST-compliant invoices with your company logo, download, print, and edit them at any time. Every GST-registered business must provide GST-compliant invoices to clients for all sales of goods and services.

Creating tax invoices involves several key steps including customer selection, product/service addition, tax calculation, and final issuance. The process is designed to be quick and efficient while ensuring complete GST compliance.

Tax Invoice Creation Steps

Follow these steps to create a compliant tax invoice using the Alt+I shortcut or Sales menu.

1
Select a Customer
Choose from your customer master or type the customer name for walk-in customers (B2C). You can add a new customer by clicking the ADD button.
2
Enter Customer GSTIN
If selected from customer master, GSTIN auto-populates. Format: 36AAAPA1234A1ZA (first 2 digits = state code, next 10 = PAN, last 3 = serial code).
3
Set Place of Supply
Specify the delivery location of goods or service consumption. Defaults to customer's registered state; can be manually overridden if needed.
4
Configure Reverse Charge
Set whether Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) applies. Default is NO for most businesses.
5
Add Invoice Date
Enter the date of invoice generation. This is the GST tax perspective date used for GST returns.
6
Set Due Date (Optional)
Specify when payment is expected (e.g., 7 or 30 days). Leave blank for immediate payment expectations.
7
Add Invoice Lines
Click "Add a Line" to add multiple products or services to the invoice as needed.
8
Enter Product/Service Details
Select from product master or create new. System auto-populates description, price, tax type, and rates. Adjust quantity as needed.
9
Review and Issue Invoice
Review all details, check tax breakup, confirm total amount, and click Issue. Auto-delivery to customer email if available.
💡
Productivity Tip: System provides audio feedback when products are selected. With a barcode scanner, you can add items quickly without looking at the screen, thanks to optimized tab order.
