Over the past few years, the Government of India has been adopting e-invoicing to standardize how B2B invoices, B2G invoices, export sales, and sales falling under the reverse charge mechanism are recorded for taxation purposes. The latest announcement from CBIC mandates businesses and corporations with a turnover of ₹5 crores or more to generate e-invoices for all their required transactions starting 1 August, 2023.
The simplest way to comply with this new regulation is to adopt a smart accounting platform that generates e-invoices effortlessly. Some features that would be helpful are a seamless IRP integration, QR code capturing, and scheduling invoices that can help you manage all your e-invoice operations.
