Inter-state: IGST applies at the full GST rate on taxable value.
What it does
Builds a printable tax invoice layout with line-wise taxable values and CGST+SGST (intra-state) or IGST (inter-state) based on your toggle or GSTIN state codes.
Why it matters
A clear invoice reduces disputes and supports compliant bookkeeping — but the correct tax treatment depends on your actual supply and registration.
Definition
GST in India is levied on the taxable value of supply; intra-state supplies typically split into CGST and SGST, while inter-state supplies generally attract IGST.

Use this as a formatting aid. Validate e-invoicing, thresholds, and reporting with your chartered accountant or tax advisor.
How to improve
Verify place of supply
POS drives whether IGST vs CGST/SGST applies — do not guess for high-value B2B deals.
Keep audit trail
Store invoice series, originals, and credit notes in line with your compliance process.
The GST Invoice Generator builds a printable, GST-formatted tax invoice in your browser. You enter your business details and GSTIN, the customer's details, and your line items with HSN/SAC codes and the applicable GST rate — and the tool lays out taxable value, the CGST+SGST or IGST split, and totals in a clean, professional format.
For a small Indian business, the alternative is usually a Word template that someone edits by hand — where a mistyped rate, a missing GSTIN, or tax applied as IGST on an intra-state sale creates real cleanup work at filing time. A structured generator removes the format-level mistakes so the only thing you need to get right is your own numbers.
Add your business name, address, and GSTIN, then the customer's details and state. For B2B invoices, include the customer's GSTIN so they can claim input credit.
Enter each product or service, its HSN or SAC code, quantity, and the applicable GST rate. The tool computes taxable value and tax per line automatically.
Confirm the invoice shows CGST+SGST for same-state supplies or IGST for inter-state supplies, review the totals, and download the printable invoice for sending and your records.
The invoice is treating the sale as intra-state. That is correct when you and your customer are in the same state — if the customer is actually in another state, fix the state field before sending.
The sale is being treated as inter-state supply. Verify the customer's billing state supports that, and remember their GSTIN matters here — B2B buyers will reconcile this invoice against their returns.
The usual causes are a wrong GST rate on one line or tax quoted as included versus added. Recheck each line's rate against the applicable slab for that item, and state clearly whether prices are inclusive or exclusive of GST.
This generator formats the invoice; it does not determine your legal obligations. E-invoicing thresholds, reverse charge, and place-of-supply edge cases depend on your registration — confirm with a CA.
Her first out-of-state client asked for a proper tax invoice with her SAC code. Entering both states, the generator applied IGST rather than the CGST+SGST split she used for local clients — a distinction she had been getting wrong on hand-made invoices. The client's accounts team cleared payment without the usual back-and-forth.
Two staff members were editing the same invoice template and occasionally shipping invoices with stale HSN codes or last month's customer details. Switching to the generator meant every invoice started blank with enforced fields, and the owner made GSTIN and state mandatory checks part of dispatch. Filing reconciliation the next quarter took noticeably less correction work.
