- GST vouchers must carry an obligation to be accepted as consideration for goods or services and identify either the supply or the supplier.
- The classification of vouchers under GST depends on the substance of the transaction, not just its form.
- Instruments that function as services, discounts, or employee perquisites are not considered vouchers.
- Mischaracterization of vouchers can lead to significant tax exposure.
- A detailed analysis is required to distinguish vouchers from separately identifiable services, discount schemes, loyalty points, and employee benefits.
