Credit Note A credit note is a document issued by a supplier to a recipient:

1. _Reducing or canceling a previous invoice_: When a supplier needs to reduce or cancel a previous invoice, they issue a credit note.

2. _Refunding or adjusting the amount_: The credit note specifies the amount being refunded or adjusted.

3. _Tax implications_: The credit note also mentions the tax implications, such as the reduction in GST liability.

Debit Note A debit note is a document issued by a supplier to a recipient:

1. _Increasing a previous invoice_: When a supplier needs to increase a previous invoice, they issue a debit note.

2. _Additional amount due_: The debit note specifies the additional amount due from the recipient.

3. _Tax implications_: The debit note also mentions the tax implications, such as the increase in GST liability.

Key Differences

1. _Purpose_: Credit note reduces or cancels a previous invoice, while a debit note increases a previous invoice.

2. _Amount_: Credit note specifies a refund or adjustment, while a debit note specifies an additional amount due.

3. _Tax implications_: Credit note reduces GST liability, while a debit note increases GST liability.

GST Implications 1. _Credit note_: A credit note can be issued within the time limit specified in the GST Act, which is typically one year from the date of the original invoice.

2. _Debit note_: A debit note can be issued within the time limit specified in the GST Act, which is typically one year from the date of the original invoice.

Additional Considerations

1. _Documentation_: Maintain proper documentation, including credit notes and debit notes, to support GST compliance.

2. _GST returns_: Report credit notes and debit notes in the applicable GST returns, such as GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B.
