What is the relevance of time of supply and last dates to issue invoices?

Time of supply decides when the supplier or recipient is liable to pay GST for goods or services or both.

The time for issuing an invoice would depend on the nature of supply viz. whether it is a supply of goods or services. A registered person supplying taxable goods shall, before or at the time of removal of goods (where supply involves movement of goods) or delivery or making available there of to the recipient, issue a tax invoice showing the description, quantity and value of goods, the tax charged thereon and such other particulars as prescribed in the Invoice Rules.

A registered person supplying taxable services shall, before or after the provision of service but within a prescribed period (30 days), issue a tax invoice, showing the description, value, tax charged thereon and such other particulars as prescribed in the Invoice Rules.
