E-invoicing under GST, explained

How it works

1. 1You prepare invoice data in your billing software.
2. 2The data is sent to the government's Invoice Registration Portal (IRP).
3. 3The IRP validates it and returns an IRN and a digitally signed QR code.
4. 4The IRN and QR code are placed on the invoice you give your customer.

Who needs it

E-invoicing applies to taxpayers above a notified turnover threshold, and the threshold has been lowered over time. Check the current threshold and exemptions on the GST portal or with a tax professional.

What our free generator does and doesn't do

The free generator prepares a standard invoice document but cannot register it with the IRP or produce an IRN. If e-invoicing applies to you, use software that is integrated with the IRP.
