the main reason of having two types of invoice as retail invoice & vat invoice,
1. Reitail sale made through retail invoice to mostly comsumer, who does not cliam the input tax and it not compulsory to give the custmer wise detils of buyers to Excise & taxation Department.
2. Sale made throuh vat inovice to a taxble person, who claim the input tax charged in biill against outputax payble by him and it is compusry to submit the custmer wise detials of sale amount, tax collcted and commodity of goods and any other information required by deparatment wchih is differ state to state. There are smoe information as buyer TIN , amount of VAT Charged and input tax claim is availble on this copy etc mentioned in the vat invoice and these information is not required in retail invoice.
so the main resaion of two type invoice is sepratism of two type sale.
