Contracts & invoicing

GST invoices on your own letterhead

Levart raises the GST invoice from the month's trips, so nobody retypes kilometres into a billing program. It decides CGST plus SGST or IGST by comparing the client's state with yours, handles reverse charge and TDS, rounds the total and writes the amount in words. You print it on a letterhead Levart builds from your profile, or on your own pre-printed letterhead paper.

Tax worked out, not typed in

Set your home state once. A client in the same state is billed CGST and SGST; a client in another state is billed IGST. If the contract is under reverse charge, the invoice carries the rate and the note but charges no GST. TDS is deducted on the face of the invoice, and the CGST/SGST split never leaves a stray rupee.

Passed-through costs like tolls, parking and fuel at actuals are kept out of the taxable value unless the contract says otherwise.

Your letterhead, or your own paper

Levart can print a full letterhead for you: your logo, your name in your colour, tagline, address, phone numbers, the services you offer along the bottom, and your PAN, GSTIN, SAC code and bank details above the signature. Long invoices run onto as many pages as they need, with the letterhead and page numbers on every one.

Printing on paper you already have

Already have letterhead paper from the printer? Switch to pre-printed mode and set how much space your header and footer take. Levart leaves that space blank, and the invoice prints into the area in between.

After it's raised

Email the invoice from Levart. The email links to the client portal, where your client can see it. Record payments as they come in, and the invoice moves from Sent to Partly paid to Paid. Past its due date it shows as Overdue.

Need to give a discount after the fact? Issue a credit note; it reduces what's owed and reverses the GST on it. An invoice nobody has paid against can be cancelled, and its trips go back to unbilled. Once a client pays, the trips on that invoice are locked, so the numbers can't change underneath a paid bill.

Questions

GST invoicing: common questions

What SAC code is used for cab and car rental invoices?

Rental of a motor vehicle with an operator (driver) falls under SAC 996601. Levart prints the SAC code you set on every invoice; check the right code and GST rate for your services with your accountant.

When is CGST and SGST charged instead of IGST?

When the client's state is the same as your agency's home state, the tax is split into CGST and SGST. For a client in another state, IGST is charged. Levart works this out from the client's state on each invoice.

Can I print invoices on my existing letterhead paper?

Yes. Choose pre-printed letterhead in your profile and set the height of your paper's header and footer. Levart leaves that space blank on every page.
