Many bike garage owners in India are confused about GST billing. Do I need it? How do I calculate it? How do I make a professional bill? This guide answers all your questions in simple, easy-to-understand language.
Do I Need to Give GST Bills?
If your garage's annual income is more than ?20 lakh (?20,00,000), you are required by Indian law to be GST registered and generate GST invoices.
But even if you are not GST registered, giving professional bills to your customers builds trust. Customers who get a detailed bill feel more confident about your service and are more likely to come back.
?? Note: For garage services, GST is typically charged at 18% on labour charges. Parts attract different GST rates (12% or 18% depending on the part). GarageMate calculates all of this automatically.
What Should a Garage GST Bill Include?
- Your garage name, address, and GSTIN number
- Invoice number (unique for every bill)
- Date of invoice
- Customer name and vehicle number
- List of parts used (with cost)
- Labour charges
- GST breakdown (CGST + SGST or IGST)
- Total amount payable
