The Goods and Service Tax (GST) on June 16, 2023, issued an update on Enablement Status for Taxpayers for e-Invoicing.
It is to inform that as per Notification No. 10/2023 - Central Tax dated May 10, 2023, the threshold for e-Invoicing for B2B transactions has been lowered from 10 crores to 5 crores. This change will be applicable from August 01, 2023.
To this effect, GSTN has enabled all eligible taxpayers with an Aggregate Annual Turnover (AATO) of 5 crores and above as per GSTN records in any preceding financial year for e-Invoicing. These taxpayers are now enabled on all six IRP portals including NIC-IRP for e-Invoice reporting.
It would be in the interest of trade to register and utilize the sandbox testing facility available at the IRP portals. This will help taxpayers to familiarize themselves with the invoice reporting mechanism and ensure a seamless transition to the e-Invoice system.
Please note that the enablement status indicated on the e-Invoice portal does not indicate a legal obligation on taxpayers to use e-Invoicing. However, actual liability to generate IRN shall be checked by taxpayers with respect to applicable notification in the light of facts pertaining to them.
In case, a taxpayer who is otherwise but not auto-enabled on the e-Invoice portal can self-enable for e-Invoicing using the functionality provided on the portal.
