India invoicing FAQ
What makes an invoice GST-compliant for Indian contractors?
A GST tax invoice includes your GSTIN, client details, invoice number, SAC code, taxable value, GST rate, and CGST/SGST or IGST breakdown. Export invoices add LUT/FIRC references when billing foreign clients.
How should Indian freelancers receive payment from US clients?
Wise and SWIFT wires are common for USD payments. Compare FX margins and receiving bank fees. Keep FIRC documentation for foreign remittance and report income in your ITR.
Is TDS deducted on contractor invoices in India?
Clients often deduct TDS under Section 194J (typically 10% on professional fees). Show gross amounts on your invoice and collect Form 16A from the client for tax filing.
