How to generate E-invoices for SEZ and Export? (India)
With Advanced Supply Type options, you can now easily generate IRNs for all your invoices including while billing to SEZ and Export clients.
A Supply Type in an e-invoice denotes the categories of the two parties involved in the transaction. The following supply types are included in the GST:
B2B: Business to Business
B2C: Business to Consumer
SEZ: Selling to either a Registered SEZ Unit or a SEZ Developer
SEZ, with Payment
SEZ, without Payment
Export: Billing to an overseas client
Export, with Payment
Export without Payment
Deemed Export: Supply of goods (not services) that are delivered in India, but eventually meant for exports.
With Refrens, you can now generate e-invoices for both SEZ and Exports. For the Without Payment options, the tax amount will be deduced to be 0, irrespective of the applied tax rate.
Once you add/edit or select an existing client from the invoice - we will automatically update the taxpayer type for your client. Based on these, you can select whether the supply type for the e-invoice should be regular B2B, SEZ or Export.
Let's say you are billing an overseas client. You have a Letter or Undertaking and want to generate an e-invoice under Export without Payment.
Once you have selected an Overseas Client (non-IN), your GST configurations will automatically be updated to support Export invoices.
