The purpose of a debit note is to formally inform a buyer that an additional amount is payable against a previously issued invoice. It is used when goods are undercharged, additional goods or services are supplied, prices are revised upward, or taxes were incorrectly charged at a lower rate. By issuing a debit note, the seller increases the customer’s outstanding balance, corrects accounting records, and ensures accurate reporting of revenue and taxes. It also serves as an official document for audit, transparency, and legal compliance in business transactions.
