How to write a tax adjustment debit note
A tax-adjustment debit note fixes an invoice where too little tax was applied — the wrong VAT/GST rate, or tax that should have been charged but was not. It adds the tax difference so your filings are accurate.
This template opens with itemised lines. Reference the invoice, charge the tax difference, explain the correction, and download a PDF debit note.

- “Debit Note” label with its own number and date
- A reference to the original invoice

Note: Adds tax under-applied · references the original invoice.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add VAT missed on an invoice?
Issue a debit note referencing the invoice that charges the tax difference and explains the correction. It keeps your VAT/GST records and filings accurate without deleting the original invoice.
What if the whole invoice had the wrong tax rate?
Charge the tax difference on a debit note (or cancel and reissue, depending on your accountant’s preference). Either way, the debit note documents the correction cleanly.

What is the difference between a debit note and a credit note?
A debit note increases the amount owed on an invoice already issued — for an undercharge, additional charges or interest. A credit note does the opposite: it reduces or cancels what is owed. Buyers also raise debit notes to notify a supplier of a return or a claim.
