Since then, most small and medium-sized businesses have geared up to make their operations compliant with the new tax laws.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the major changes with the implementation of GST is that the invoices must be compliant with the new tax laws. The same applies to <a href=\"https:\/\/in.open.money\/e-invoicing\/\"><strong>e-Invoicing.<\/strong><\/a> e-Invoices are Electronic Invoices, that are used to authenticate B2B invoices electronically by e-Invoice portal for tax return purposes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>e-Invoice under GST<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From August 1st,2023, every business crossing an aggregate turnover of over Rs 5 Cr.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the last financial year is required to follow the current e-Invoicing guidelines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under this system, a unique IRN (Invoice Reference Number) gets issued by the IRP (Invoice Registration Portal)\u00a0 against every invoice generated. All the invoice details get transferred to both the GST portal as well as the NIC (National Informatics Centre) portal in real-time via APIs. This eventually eliminates manual processing and helps businesses to file GST returns and to claim GST refunds with ease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-20252 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/open.money\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IRP-3-01.jpg\" alt=\"IRP\" width=\"531\" height=\"654\" \/><br \/>\n<strong><i>Note<\/i><i>: <\/i><\/strong><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A taxpayer who is already registered on the GST portal needs to register separately on the e-Invoice portal.
