Things to know in India
Since the September 2025 GST rate rationalisation, most goods and services fall in the 5% or 18% slabs. Check the rate for your HSN/SAC code.
Businesses above the e-invoicing turnover threshold must generate an IRN through the Invoice Registration Portal; smaller businesses can issue PDF tax invoices.
Indian invoice numbers usually restart each financial year (April to March). Edit the number pattern in Settings, e.g. "INV/26-27/###".
