This discussion addresses how to handle GST billing when changing a partnership firm's trade name. The advice given is to use the legal name on both purchase and sales bills for official purposes. The trade name can be used on products and additionally on sales bills for branding.
We are running a partnership firm with GST registration. Till now, both, the Legal name and the Trade name are same. But now, we prefer to change the Trade name. While doing so, which name has to be used in our purchase as well as sales bills ? Whether Legal name or Trade name or any of them ? Further, can we get our purchase bill in favor of Legal Name and issue our sales bill under the Trade name ?
