Practical Questions & Guidance
What is the main difference between a debit note and a credit note?
A credit note reduces the amount a customer owes, whereas a debit note issued by a seller increases the amount owed (or when issued by a buyer, claims that the seller owes a refund).
Can a debit note be issued for damaged goods received?
Yes. Buyers frequently issue a debit note to a supplier upon inspecting and rejecting defective inventory, notifying the vendor to credit their account.
Is a debit note legally valid for tax accounting?
Yes, when issued in accordance with tax regulations and linked to the original commercial invoice, debit notes constitute valid accounting vouchers.
