Proforma invoice vs tax invoice
A proforma invoice is a good-faith estimate you send before a sale is finalised — it confirms the items, prices and terms so a buyer can approve the order, arrange an advance or raise a purchase order. It does not create a GST liability and cannot be used to claim input tax credit. A GST tax invoice is issued after the sale is agreed and is the legal document for the transaction. This generator produces a clean, professional proforma; once your client confirms, convert it into a proper GST invoice.
Frequently asked questions
What is a proforma invoice?
A proforma invoice is a preliminary bill of sale sent to a buyer before the goods or services are supplied. It states the items, quantities, prices and estimated taxes so the buyer can arrange payment or approval. It is not a demand for payment and is not a valid GST tax invoice.
How is a proforma invoice different from a tax invoice?
A proforma invoice is an estimate issued before a sale to confirm price and terms; it does not create a tax liability. A GST tax invoice is issued after the sale is agreed and is the legal document used to claim input tax credit. Once your deal is confirmed, convert the proforma into a proper GST invoice.
When should I use a proforma invoice?
Use it to quote a firm price, request an advance, help a client raise a purchase order, or for export/customs pre-clearance. It signals intent to supply on stated terms without triggering GST until the actual invoice is raised.
