Question 1

When should I issue a credit note?

Accepted Answer

When you need to reduce the value of an invoice you already issued — goods returned, an overcharge, a post-sale discount, or a billing error. The credit note references the original invoice and records the reduction.

Question 2

Is this credit note GST-compliant?

Accepted Answer

It carries the fields GST practice expects — your GSTIN, the customer's GSTIN, the original invoice reference, itemised lines with tax rates and a clear reason. Report it in your GST returns as your CA advises.

Question 3

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Yes — everything stays in your browser's local storage. Nothing is uploaded to any server, and there's no signup.
