About Bill of Supply

A bill of supply is issued instead of a regular tax invoice. The bill of supply issued to individuals does not include details related to the rate of tax and the amount of tax to be paid. Even the price mentioned in the bill of supply is not a taxable value.

  2. Exporters - Export supplies are zero-rated or non-taxable, and hence bills of supply are issued by them. For example, when a registered taxpayer provides unproven agricultural produce, they should issue a supply bill instead of a tax invoice.
