What is a proforma invoice?
A proforma invoice is a preliminary bill sent before goods or services are delivered. It serves as a quotation or estimate and is not a demand for payment like a tax invoice.
Is GST required on a proforma invoice?
A proforma invoice is not a tax document, so GST is shown for estimation only. The actual GST is charged on the final tax invoice.
Can I convert a proforma to a tax invoice?
Yes. In HelloBooks, convert any proforma invoice to a GST-compliant tax invoice with one click once the order is confirmed.
