What a GST tax invoice needs to carry
A GST invoice is not just a payment request with a logo. Registered businesses in India typically need a tax invoice that identifies the supplier and recipient, shows a unique invoice number and date, lists HSN or SAC against goods or services, and splits tax correctly for the place of supply.
CraftDocs is built around that document — not a generic invoice with GST pasted on later. Choose Tax Invoice or GST Invoice as the document type, pick a GST-ready template such as Indian GST Professional, and fill client, items, and tax in one studio.
- Supplier and client details with GSTIN-ready fields
- HSN/SAC on each line item so tax is not a guess
- Automatic CGST + SGST for intra-state bills, or IGST for inter-state
- Taxable value, tax rate, and totals that stay in sync when you edit
Intra-state vs inter-state: the split that Excel gets wrong
If you and your client are in the same state, a GST invoice usually shows CGST and SGST. If they are in another state, the same taxable value is typically billed as IGST. Spreadsheets break here: someone copies last month’s formula, forgets to switch the split, or hard-codes 18% without HSN.
In CraftDocs the line items carry HSN and tax. Change the client or the place of supply, and the studio recalculates the split instead of leaving a stale CGST column on an interstate bill. That is the job of a GST invoice generator — not a prettier Word template.
Create it yourself, or ask Inky AI
If you already know the client and items, open the document studio, choose GST Tax Invoice, apply your brand kit, and export. If you would rather talk it through, Inky AI walks template → client → products → GST, then helps you send the invoice on WhatsApp or email.
Free includes one Inky trial; Business unlocks unlimited Inky. Either path lands on the same GST-ready document you can PDF, share, and collect against with UPI.
Who this generator is for
Agencies, clinics, traders, and service firms that already issue GST invoices — and people who still rebuild them in Excel every week. It is also the right starting point if you send quotations today and convert them to tax invoices after the work is approved.
Need a quote first, or you bill as a solo freelancer with UPI? Those are different jobs, and we keep them on their own pages so this one stays about GST invoices.
