Invoices without GST

When You Should Issue an Invoice Without GST

Only GST-registered businesses can charge GST. If you're not registered, your invoice must not show GST or a GSTIN – it is simply a bill for the goods or services you supplied. Generally, registration becomes compulsory once your turnover crosses the threshold, which in most states is ₹40 lakh for goods and ₹20 lakh for services (lower in some special category states), with certain businesses required to register regardless.

Who uses a non-GST invoice

  • Freelancers and consultants below the registration threshold.
  • Tutors, coaching classes and trainers with small turnover.
  • Home businesses – bakers, tailors, artists, caterers.
  • Small shops and service providers that aren't registered.

What to include

  • Your name or business name, address and contact details (no GSTIN).
  • Invoice number and date, and the customer's name.
  • Items or services with quantity, rate and amount.
  • The total in figures and words, payment details and terms.

Composition dealers: use a bill of supply

Businesses registered under the GST composition scheme can't collect tax from customers. Instead of a tax invoice they issue a bill of supply, which should carry the words “composition taxable person, not eligible to collect tax on supplies”. In the editor, set the document title to Bill of Supply and add that line under Notes.

Once you register under GST, switch to the GST invoice format – your template, logo and details carry over.

Sample invoice without GST

Example: freelancer invoice without GST
#DescriptionQtyRate (₹)Amount (₹)
1Logo design – 3 concepts16,000.006,000.00
2Social media post designs10500.005,000.00
Total11,000.00

There are no tax lines and no GSTIN – just the work done, the total in figures and words, and how to pay.

Tips for freelancers and small businesses

  • Number your invoices consecutively even if you're not registered – it keeps your records tidy for income tax.
  • Agree payment terms up front and print them on the invoice, for example “Payment due within 7 days”.
  • Add a UPI QR code so clients can pay instantly.
  • Keep a PDF copy of every invoice you send.

Income from your invoices still counts for income tax even if you aren't registered under GST – keep copies for your records.

FAQ

Non-GST Invoice – Frequently Asked Questions

Can I issue an invoice without GST?

Yes, if you are not registered under GST. In that case you must not charge GST or show a GSTIN on the invoice.

When do I need to register for GST?

Generally when turnover crosses ₹40 lakh for goods or ₹20 lakh for services in most states (lower in some special category states), and in some cases regardless of turnover. Check the current rules.

What is a bill of supply?

A document issued instead of a tax invoice for exempt supplies or by composition dealers, who can't collect GST from customers.

Can I add my bank details and UPI ID?

Yes. Add them under Payment details, and optionally print a UPI QR code for the amount due.

Is the non-GST invoice maker free?

Yes – free, no sign-up, no watermark.

What should I write on an invoice if I am not registered under GST?

Your name or business name, contact details, invoice number and date, the customer's name, the items or services with amounts, and the total – without any GST, tax lines or GSTIN.

Can a freelancer send an invoice without GST?

Yes, if they are not registered under GST. Registration is generally required once turnover crosses the threshold, so check the current rules as your income grows.

Do I need to show a GSTIN or tax on a bill of supply?

No. A bill of supply never charges GST. Registered composition dealers show their GSTIN and the line “composition taxable person, not eligible to collect tax on supplies”; unregistered businesses don't have a GSTIN to show.

Can I convert a non-GST invoice into a GST invoice later?

Once you register, switch to the GST invoice page or choose CGST + SGST or IGST in the editor. Your template, logo and details stay as they are – just add your GSTIN and the GST rates.
