I made an invoice on th June with GST, but the system is showing it as a pre-GST invoice dated before st July. What is wrong?
Issue: You made an invoice on June 30th with GST, but the system sees it as a pre-GST invoice dated before July 1st. Here's why and what you can do about it:
Understand GST Implementation Date:
In India, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was introduced on July 1, 2017. This means that before this date, transactions followed the Value Added Tax (VAT) system.
If your invoice is dated before the GST implementation date (i.e., before July 1, 2017), the system will consider it a pre-GST invoice because GST rules did not apply to transactions before that date.
What You Can Do:You have two options:
A.You can choose to continue with this understanding since it's based on how the tax system worked historically in India.
B.Alternatively, if it's necessary, you can modify the voucher and change the invoice date to a date after July 1, 2017, to align it with the GST implementation date.
