12 November 2025 Raise a Tax Invoice if the reimbursement is considered a part of your taxable supply (as a pure agent, separately shown). This means you treat the reimbursement as part of your overall invoice but clearly show the reimbursed amount separately.

Raise a Bill of Supply if the reimbursement is for exempt or non-taxable supplies.

Do not raise a Debit Note for reimbursement.

12 November 2025 This amount is generally added into your taxable supplies separately. No need to raise bill separately. This time you may raise bill of supply.
