COMMON QUESTIONS

Clear before you act

Is one GST invoice format suitable for every transaction?

No. Export, reverse-charge, e-invoice and other cases may require additional information or workflows.

Can a non-GST business use a GST invoice?

A business should not collect GST unless legally entitled. Use the document appropriate to your registration and transaction.
