Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to handle a situation where a buyer issues a tax invoice for damaged goods received. The consensus is that if the buyer has issued a tax invoice, they are effectively acting as the supplier for that transaction. You should confirm if they will report this invoice in their GSTR1. If they do, you can treat it as a purchase and claim Input Tax Credit (ITC). Issuing a credit note against such an invoice is the correct accounting procedure.

Tax Invoice by buyer?????
Tax invoice means, goods damage during transportation or he used some piece of goods as a sample.... so he generated tax invoice... I'm confused that I will issue a credit note or book as an expense.

I cannot understand the original transaction.

In any case you can generate a credit note but if you are a supplier then only you will include it in gstr1 otherwise it will remain an accounting credit note which will reverse your itc in 3b

The transaction is........ buyer received some damaged goods, so he generated tax invoice with gst and send us... what should I do now to show a credit note or take an input tax credit in our accounts?

In this case since the buyer has made a tax invoice the buyer becomes the supplier of the second transaction.

First confirm with your buyer whether he will show this invoice in gstr1. If yes you treat it as purchase and claim ITC.

It's is correct if we have issued a credit note against a tax invoice.
