Sample invoice

This page shows what a CreatorPodium receipt looks like. The values below are an illustrative sample, not a real payment.

Receipt

CreatorPodium does not charge GST at present, so what you receive is a receipt, not a tax invoice.

Source: specs/operations.md §7.5

TAX_MODE defaults to unregistered (no GST charged; receipts, not tax invoices).

A receipt shows:

Source: specs/product.md §4.13

receipt: amount, listing, rank at credit, payment id, tax line, promise summary, receipt link

Credit is the full amount paid, including any tax, before gateway fees. Fees never reduce credit.

If GST registration applies

Prices are tax-inclusive. If the operator registers for GST, receipts become tax invoices that show the supplier's details, SAC 998365, the taxable value and the GST contained in the price. The rules for the tax amount are:

Source: specs/foundations.md §1.5 (T1, T2, T3)

tax_mode comes from config TAX_MODE ∈ {unregistered, registered}; default unregistered until the CA sign-off (HA-004) and founder gate G1. registered requires config GSTIN.

tax_rate_bps = 1800 when tax_mode = registered AND currency = INR; otherwise 0 (unregistered, or export of services in phase 11: a foreign currency with a billing country other than IN — a foreign currency with billing country IN is refused). Foreign consumption taxes (EU/UK VAT and others) are decided with the CA and lawyer at phase-11 entry (HA-034); a currency whose tax position is undecided is left out of C7, and billing countries whose position is undecided are pinned here as EXCLUDED_BILLING_COUNTRIES (refused for foreign currencies; empty unless HA-034 names codes).

tax_amount_minor = round_half_up(amount_minor × tax_rate_bps / (10000 + tax_rate_bps)); prices are tax-inclusive. Receipts label SAC 998365 and GSTIN when registered.

receipts become tax invoices numbered TC-<YYYY>-<payment id> with supplier details

The layout of a tax invoice, including whether it shows IGST or CGST and SGST, follows a template approved by a chartered accountant before registration applies.

Illustration of the calculation only, while no GST is charged: a payment of ₹1,180 that includes GST at 18% has a taxable value of ₹1,000 and GST of ₹180.
