How does GST E-Invoice System work?
The GST e-invoice can be generated at the government GST portal for goods and services provided by the business. It has been considered to reduce GST evasion through the use of GST e-invoice generation.
In response to this, GST officers have provided businesses with a system that will make it mandatory for them to generate an ‘e-invoice’ for every sale on the government GST portal. This system will only be applicable to those whose turnover threshold is above the determined limit, which is when the government sets a threshold limit.
Business owners who fall below a certain threshold will be given a unique number whenever an e-invoice is generated. This number can be used to verify invoices written in the sales return and taxes paid.
