While printing the credit note, the invoice title will now appear based on the Taxability of the stock items or ledgers as:
● Tax Invoice for taxable transactions and exports.
● Bill of Supply for exempt or nil rated transactions.
● Invoice-cum-Bill of Supply for exempt/nil rated with taxable transactions.
Discount given after supply (post sales discount) will not form part of the transaction value, when:
● Discount is established in terms of the agreement entered at or before the time of supply.
● Discount is linked to the relevant Invoices.
● Value of input tax credit to such discounts has been reversed by the buyer (buyer has reversed the credit on discount related to such invoices).
There will be no reduction in transaction value to the supplier, and GST amount should not be mentioned in the credit notes related to such discount.
