Debit note generator

What goes on a debit note

• Your business name and tax ID (GSTIN in India)
• The customer being debited
• A debit note number and date
• The original invoice number and date
• Each item or amount being added
• The tax on the added amount
• The total debit and the reason for it

Debit note or credit note?

A credit note lowers what the customer owes; a debit note raises it. Both point back to the original invoice, which stays as it was.

In Indian trade, buyers also send debit notes to suppliers when they return goods, as a claim against the supplier. Under GST, though, the document that adjusts tax for a return is the supplier's credit note.

Questions

When is a debit note issued under GST?

Section 34 of the CGST Act lets a supplier issue a debit note when the taxable value or the tax on an invoice was lower than it should have been. It is reported in the GST return for the month it is issued. Check the details with your accountant.

Can I make an invoice into a debit note?

Yes. If the invoice was made here, open it and use “Make a debit note”. The customer and the invoice number are filled in; change the items to only what is being added.
