All GST taxpayers whose aggregate annual turnover exceeds Rs 5 crore in any financial year will have to mandatorily generate e-invoices for business-to-business (B2B) supply of goods and or services or for exports, according to a notification by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance.
This rule will come into effect from August 1, 2023. The e-invoicing turnover limit has been reduced to Rs 5 crore by the CBIC from Rs 10 crore. At present, all businesses with a turnover of over Rs 10 crore are mandated to generate e-invoices for all B2B transactions.
Here is a look at the reducing thresholds for e-invoice turnover limits:
The electronic invoicing system for B2B transactions was implemented on a mandatory basis for all those with turnovers above Rs 500 crore from October 1, 2020. The e-invoicing system was launched to plug GST evasion.
EY Tax Partner Saurabh Agarwal told PTI that the industry needs to review their vendor masters and ensure that any vendor supplying goods or services and crossing the threshold turnover of Rs 5 crore is necessarily issuing an e-invoice from August 2023 to avoid any dispute with respect to availing of input tax credit (ITC).
