GSTN issued Important advisory on e-Invoice exemption declaration functionality now available

The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has issued an Important Advisory dated July 24, 2023, on e-Invoice exemption declaration functionality now available.

GSTN is pleased to inform you that the e-Invoice Exemption Declaration functionality is now live on the e-Invoice portal. This functionality is specifically designed for taxpayers who are by default enabled for e-invoicing but are exempted from implementing it under the CGST (Central Goods and Services Tax) Rules.

Salient features of this functionality are:

a. The e-Invoice Exemption Declaration functionality is voluntary and can be accessed at the e-Invoice portal ( www.einvoice.gst.gov.in ).

b. This functionality applies to taxpayers who are exempted from e-Invoicing as per the provisions of the CGST Rules.

c. It is important to note that any declaration made using this functionality will not change the e-Invoice enablement status of the taxpayer.

d. The responsibility to take decisions vis-à-vis exemption concerning various Notifications issued by the Government and report on the portal is of the person.

The facility to report exemption declarations is purely for business facilitation purposes.
