Frequently asked

When would I issue a credit note?

When you need to reduce the amount a buyer owes on a previously issued invoice. For a returned item, a post-sale discount, or a billing correction.

Does this update the original invoice automatically?

No. Each tool here is independent. The credit note is a separate document that references the original invoice number, which your own records need to reconcile.

Does GST apply to a credit note?

Yes, if the original invoice had GST. Enter the same GST rate so the credited amount reduces both the base value and the tax proportionally.

Can I issue a partial credit note?

Yes. Enter just the amount or item being credited, not the full original invoice value.

Do I need a separate credit note number?

Yes. Keep it as its own numbered document, distinct from your invoice numbering sequence, for clean bookkeeping.

Can I add my logo and signature?

Yes. Both are supported and print on the document.
