What is a Credit Note?

A Credit Note records goods returned by a customer or a post-sale price reduction. It reduces the value of the original invoice and adjusts the associated tax. For Indian GST companies, credit notes must be included in the applicable GST returns; requirements elsewhere depend on local tax rules.
