FAQ :
Taxpayers with an aggregate turnover exceeding Rs. 100 crore (approximately £100 million) in any preceding financial year from 2017-18 onwards are mandated to use e-invoicing from 1st January 2021.
Businesses can test the e-invoicing system on the trial e-invoice portal at https://einvoice1-trial.nic.in/. Invoices generated on this trial portal are for testing purposes only and have no legal validity.
Businesses without their own ERP/Accounting software or with few invoices can download a free offline utility (bulk generation tool) from the e-invoice portal to upload invoice data for IRN generation.
If a registered person is required to start e-invoicing by the notified date but is not enabled for testing on the trial portal, they can request enablement on the e-invoice Production Portal at https://einvoice1.gst.gov.in.
Technical issues concerning the e-invoice trial/testing portal, IRP/Production portal, offline utilities, or APIs/Sandbox should be reported on the GST Self-Service Portal at https://selfservice.gstsystem.in/.
A new facility has been added on the GST portal (Log in > 'Search Taxpayer') which allows users to view the aggregate turnover slab for a taxpayer.
