When should Invoice be issued under GST?

When payment for goods or services is received or reasonably assured, or when the goods or services are given, a GST invoice is issued.

If goods and services are provided but payment is not received, an invoice must be given within 30 days, regardless of the state of the receivable.

It should be noted that with the production of tax invoices, the supplier becomes responsible for remitting GST to the government, even if the consumer does not pay.

As a result, the provider can issue an estimate if payment is not reasonably secured and the products or services have not been delivered.
