Every month suppliers will be asked to
upload their invoices to the GSTN portal and they will be matched with
purchases from customers. So, matching invoices will be a monthly affair
for businesses.
The use of IT systems for bookeeping and
tax compliance work will be seen even in many small and medium-sized
businesses from now on.
A well integrated IT system will also
help suppliers and buyers to match their invoices effectively. Invoice
matching is a very important part when it comes to trading.
What Is Matching Invoice?
Matching all supplies taxable, bought by a buyer and supplied by a supplier is known as Invoice Matching.
According to finance minister, “It is
through the invoice matching and automated return mechanism that the
government can guarantee eligible input tax credit is accurately
transferred between the states”.
GSTN is working towards the GST web application which is hosted on the common portal to make invoice matching easy.
How do Invoice Matching work?
Invoice matching is very important because, based on the GST law,
tax credits for input from services and items purchased will only be
available when the supply details submitted in the buyer’s GSTR-2 return
match the inventory details outside that submitted in the GSTR-1
supplier.
Which items from invoices are matched?
During the submission of the GSTR-2 form, the GSTN portal matches the following fields:
- GSTN from supplier
- GSTN recipient
- Invoice Number / Debit Note
- Invoice / Debit Date Note
- Taxable value
- Tax amount
