Proforma invoice vs GST tax invoice

A proforma is not a tax invoice. GST liability follows the tax invoice (and the time-of-supply rules), not a quotation or proforma.

Educational summary. Not legal, tax, or filing advice. Confirm with the notified GST law and your Chartered Accountant.

Proforma

A proforma is a proposed bill: amounts, terms, sometimes GST as an estimate. It is not the document that by itself discharges GST invoice duties under Rule 46.

Tax invoice

The tax invoice is the GST document with the Rule 46 particulars, the serial number in your tax series, and the tax columns.
