Tax invoice.

hi, we sell goods to our distributors, at the month-end rate difference amount arises, the distributor gives us a tax invoice of that rate difference. my question is we need to create a credit note against that rate difference or take an input tax credit.

but I'm issuing a credit note to the distributor.

please tell me which one is correct.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the correct GST treatment for rate differences arising from sales to distributors. The consensus is that a credit note should be issued to the distributor as per Section 34 of the CGST Act. It also confirms that tax liability can be reduced when distributors use goods as samples, provided the correct procedures are followed regarding credit notes and ITC adjustments.

You have to provide Credit Note to your Customer. Go through Section 34 of CGST Act.
In both the condition the revenue in form of tax is neutral. But the correct way to issue credit note as prescribed in Section 34 of CGST Act.
Ok thanks for the reply, one more thing we sell goods to a distributor and they use some quantity of goods as a sample purpose and end of the month they give details of the sample, in credit note, we can reduce tax liability or not. Because we paid gst on purchase and sale also.
Yes definitely can reduce your tax liability.

Notte : In GST in term of Section 34 it's the supplier who can issue credit/debit note , as on the basis of Credit Notes issued by supplier the Recepient need to reduce his ITC.

The Recepient can issue the Credit /debit note but only for accounting purposes as the reduction /Addition of ITC by Recepient in 3B can be done only on the basis of GSTR 1 filed by supplier.
