What is a debit note?

A debit note is a document that raises the amount owed on an earlier invoice. A supplier issues it when the invoice was too low, for example extra freight or a price revision. A buyer may also issue one to a supplier when returning goods, asking for the value to be reduced (a purchase return).

What is a debit note?

It is a formal notice that money is owed in addition to, or adjusted from, an invoice. Under GST, a supplier's debit note must refer to the original tax invoice and is reported in the return for the month it is issued.

When to use a debit note

  • The invoice was billed short (wrong rate or quantity)
  • Extra charges were agreed after the invoice, such as freight or packing
  • A price increase applies to goods already invoiced
  • A buyer returns goods and records the claim on the supplier

To reduce an invoice instead, use the credit note format.

Usually the supplier, to raise the amount of an earlier invoice. A buyer can also issue one to a supplier for a purchase return, as an internal record of the claim.

Is GST charged on a debit note?

When a supplier's debit note raises the taxable value, GST is charged on the extra amount at the same rate as the original supply.

What is the difference between a debit note and an invoice?

An invoice records a new supply. A debit note adjusts an invoice already issued and must refer to it.
