History of turnover limit for E-invoicing under GST
Over the period of e-invoicing introduction government is increasing bracket of taxpayers for generating e-invoices. Don’t get surprised if E-invoice become mandatory for all B2B transactions irrespective of amount of turnover. Automation in the process certainly going to increase the cost. Government should provide mobile app / web addins/ user friendly software to MSMEs for generating e-invoices, so the automation cost can be minimised.
