## GST invoice maker, free

Fill in your details once, add the brand and the work, and the invoice works out the tax itself: CGST and SGST when you and the brand are in the same state, IGST when you aren't, for a brand abroad it asks the two questions that decide whether it's an export and whether IGST applies, and it charges no GST at all if you aren't registered. It checks the GSTIN you type, writes the amount in words, and saves as a PDF.

Nothing you type is sent to Thommidhi or anyone else: the tools work in your browser, with no sign-up. The invoice maker and rate card remember your own details on this device so you don't retype them, and you can forget them with one tap.

## How it works

Your GSTIN tells the invoice your state; the brand's state decides between CGST + SGST and IGST.

A brand outside India is an export only if you're paid in foreign currency (or in rupees where RBI allows it). Then, with a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) for the year, you charge no IGST; without one, you charge IGST and claim it back as a refund. Either way the invoice carries the line the rules require. If you're paid in rupees, IGST applies.

If you're not registered, the invoice says so and charges no GST, because an unregistered supplier can't collect it.

The SAC code is your choice: 998361 (advertising services) is the one most creators use; type another if your CA advises it.

## Questions

What should a GST invoice from an influencer include? Your name, address and GSTIN; a serial number unique for the financial year; the date; the brand's name, address and GSTIN; a description with the SAC code; the taxable value; the GST rate and amount split as CGST + SGST or IGST; the place of supply; whether reverse charge applies; and your signature (CGST Rules, rule 46). This tool lays all of these out.

Can I charge GST if I'm not registered? No. Below the registration threshold you can choose not to register, but then you can't collect GST from the brand. Your invoice shows the fee alone.

Do I charge GST to a foreign brand? Only if it's an export of services: the client is outside India, the service is supplied outside India, you're paid in foreign currency (or in rupees where RBI allows it), and you aren't two branches of one business. Then it's zero-rated: with a Letter of Undertaking (Form GST RFD-11) you invoice without IGST; without one you charge IGST and claim a refund. If any condition isn't met, IGST applies. The tool asks about the payment currency and the LUT; check the rest with your CA.
