# Bill of Supply

## What is a Bill of Supply?

  A Bill of Supply is a **document** issued by GST Registered Businesses in place of a Tax Invoice. It is used by Composition Vendors and businesses dealing with Exempted Goods.   

* * *

## When is a Bill of Supply issued?

A bill of supply is usually issued when a business sells goods and services that are classified as [exempt from GST](https://www.zoho.com/in/books/gst/exemptions-in-gst.html). For example, a fruit vendor would not be issuing a regular Tax Invoice on sale but raise a Bill of Supply for his customers.   

Also, in cases where a business is registered under the [Composition scheme](https://www.zoho.com/in/books/gst/gst-composition-scheme.html) one do issue only a Bill of Supply and not Tax Invoices to their customers as they can not charge GST on their sales transactions.
