Under GST, a tax invoice is an important document. It not only evidences the supply of goods or services but is also an essential document for the recipient to avail of Input Tax Credit (ITC). A registered person cannot avail of Input Tax Credit unless he is in possession of a tax invoice or a debit note.

GST is chargeable at the time of supply. An invoice is an important indicator of the time of supply. Broadly speaking, the time of supply of goods or services is the date of issuance of an invoice or receipt of payment, whichever is earlier. Thus the importance of an invoice under GST cannot be over-emphasized. Suffice it to say, the tax invoice is the primary document evidencing the supply and vital for availing of Input Tax Credit.
