We understand that for our users in India, staying compliant with the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a top priority when subscribing to international SaaS tools.<\/p>\n<p>While our checkout process is streamlined for global users, we want to ensure our Indian customers have the documentation they need for their accounting and tax filings.

How to add your GSTIN to TraceMyIP Invoices<\/h2>\n<p>Because our billing system uses standard global address fields, there isn\u2019t a dedicated &#8220;GST&#8221; box. However, you can easily &#8220;inject&#8221; your GST details so they appear on every invoice:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Log in to your TraceMyIP account.<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to [My Account] \u2192 [Status].<\/li>\n<li>In your Billing Profile or Address settings, update your information as follows:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> Enter your business name followed by your GSTIN (e.g., Acme Corp &#8211; GSTIN 27AAAAA0000A1Z5).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Address Line 2:<\/strong> Use this field specifically for your tax identity (e.g., Tax ID: [Your GST Number]).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Save changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once updated, any newly generated invoices (found under [My Account] \u2192 [Status] \u2192 [Last Invoice]) will display these details, making them valid for your business expense records.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Tax Treatment: Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM)<\/h2>\n<p>Since TraceMyIP is a US-based entity, we typically do not charge Indian GST (18%) on your transactions. In India, this is classified as an &#8220;Import of Services.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Your Responsibility:<\/strong> Under Indian tax law, you are required to pay the 18% IGST on your subscription cost directly to the Indian government under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Claiming Credit:<\/strong> The GST you pay via RCM can be claimed back as Input Tax Credit (ITC) when you file your monthly GSTR-3B, provided you have your GSTIN on the invoice (see Step 1).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3. Need a Corrected Invoice?<\/h2>\n<p>If you have already paid for a subscription and your GSTIN was missing, you can update your profile information and then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tracemyip.org\/learn\/how-to-request-technical-support-604\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"45\" title=\"How to request technical support\">contact us<\/a> so that we could add your GSTIN to your recent invoice:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to [My Account] \u2192 [Open\/View Support Ticket(s)].<\/li>\n<li>Request a manual review of your details.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can also create a Self-Invoice (as described below) without having the need to contact us.<\/p>\n<h2>Summary Checklist for Indian Businesses<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Action<\/th>\n<th>Requirement<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Invoice Proof<\/td>\n<td>Ensure GSTIN is in the &#8220;Company Name&#8221; or &#8220;Address&#8221; field.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tax Payment<\/td>\n<td>Pay 18% IGST via RCM during your monthly filing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Self-Invoice<\/td>\n<td>Create an internal &#8220;Self-Invoice&#8221; matching the TraceMyIP receipt for your auditor.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>We are committed to helping you track your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tracemyip.org\/learn\/how-to-build-a-website-for-visitors-optimization-2814\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"69\" title=\"How to Build a Website for Visitors: Understanding Needs and Optimizing for Success\">website visitors<\/a> with precision while making your administrative tasks as simple as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Still have questions about your billing?
