GST invoice guide
What a GST Tax Invoice Must Show
If your business is registered under GST, every taxable sale needs a tax invoice with specific details. Missing details can hold up your customer's input tax credit – and that means delayed payments for you. PaperBee's GST invoice maker includes every standard field, so you only have to fill in the values.
Mandatory details on a GST invoice
- Your name, address and GSTIN.
- A unique, consecutive invoice number (up to 16 characters) and the date of issue.
- The customer's name and address, and their GSTIN if they are registered.
- HSN code for goods or SAC for services.
- Description, quantity and unit of each item, the total value and the taxable value after discount.
- Rate and amount of tax – CGST and SGST/UTGST, or IGST.
- Place of supply with the state name for inter-state supplies.
- Whether tax is payable on reverse charge, and a signature.
CGST + SGST or IGST?
| Sale | Tax charged | Example at 18% |
|---|---|---|
| Within the same state (intra-state) | CGST + SGST, half each | 9% CGST + 9% SGST |
| To another state (inter-state) | IGST, full rate | 18% IGST |
| Within a Union Territory without a legislature | CGST + UTGST | 9% CGST + 9% UTGST |
In the invoice maker, choose CGST + SGST or IGST under “Tax, discount & charges”, and set the GST rate on each item – 0%, 0.25%, 3%, 5%, 12%, 18% or 28%.
HSN and SAC codes
Goods are classified with HSN codes and services with SAC codes. Broadly, businesses with turnover up to ₹5 crore show at least 4-digit HSN on B2B invoices, and larger businesses show 6 digits. Turn the HSN/SAC column on or off in the editor.
Discounts and round-off
GST is charged on the value after any discount shown on the invoice. PaperBee spreads the discount across items, calculates tax rate by rate, then rounds the final total to the nearest rupee and shows the round-off line – exactly how most accountants present it.
E-invoicing
Businesses above the e-invoicing turnover limit (currently ₹5 crore) must also register B2B invoices on the government's Invoice Registration Portal, which returns an IRN and a signed QR code to print on the invoice. PaperBee doesn't generate IRNs – use your accounting software or the e-invoice portal for that. For smaller businesses, a PaperBee GST invoice is all you need.
Copies of a GST invoice
For goods, a tax invoice is usually prepared in three copies – the original for the recipient, the duplicate for the transporter, and the triplicate for the supplier. For services, two copies are enough: the original for the recipient and the duplicate for the supplier. Download your invoice once and print as many copies as you need, marking each one at the top.
Common GST invoice mistakes
- Charging CGST + SGST on an inter-state sale (it should be IGST), or the other way round.
- A missing or mistyped customer GSTIN on a B2B invoice – your customer can't claim credit.
- Skipping numbers or reusing an invoice number within the same financial year.
- Calculating GST on the price before discount instead of the discounted value.

FAQ
GST Invoice Maker – Frequently Asked Questions
Is this GST invoice format valid?
It includes all the standard tax-invoice fields – GSTIN, invoice number and date, HSN/SAC, taxable value, CGST/SGST or IGST, place of supply and signature. You are responsible for entering correct details.
When do I charge IGST instead of CGST and SGST?
Charge IGST when the place of supply is in a different state from yours, and CGST + SGST when it's in the same state.
Can I put different GST rates on different items?
Yes. Each item has its own GST rate, and the invoice shows tax rate by rate.
Does the invoice show the amount in words?
Yes, in the Indian numbering system – for example, “Rupees One Lakh Twenty Thousand Only”.
Can I make an e-invoice with IRN here?
No. IRNs and the signed e-invoice QR code come from the government's Invoice Registration Portal. PaperBee makes regular GST tax invoices.
Is the GST invoice maker free?
Yes – free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
