GST Bill of Supply

Invoice is a document which records the terms of an underlying arrangement between parties. An invoice does not bring into existence an agreement but merely records the terms of a preexisting agreement. GST requires that an invoice – tax invoice or bill of supply – to be issued on the occurrence of certain event or within a prescribed time. Therefore, an invoice, among others is required to be issued for every other form of supply such as sale, transfer, barter, exchange, license, rental, lease or disposal. The section uses the phrase registered person as a person who is required to issue an invoice whereas a taxable person is one who alone is entitled to input tax credit. Where a supplier is not required to charge any tax, he shall raise a bill of supply instead of invoice. Bill of supply will be raised by:

a registered person supplying exempted goods or services or both ora registered person paying tax under the provisions of Section 10
