WHEN BUYER ISSUES DEBIT NOTE
A buyer issues debit notes to initiate purchase return of the goods procured on credit from seller. Here are some situations enumerated wherein buyer issues debit note:
- When there are quality/defect issues in the goods received by the Buyer
- When there are calculation errors or over charging issues or situations where excessive tax is applied
- Situations wherein suppliers fail to supply the promised goods or service on time to the buyer
- Situation when the buyer changes his mind and does not want to purchase goods and services from seller
Illustration: X Company (Buyer) places an order for 1500 caps to Y Company (Seller) at the price of 5 AED per Cap. At the time of delivery 250 caps found to be damaged and not up to the mark as expected and agreed between buyer and seller. In this situation buyer will issue debit note to the seller.
WHEN SELLER ISSUES DEBIT NOTE
A seller issues a debit note to inform the buyer about debt collection/obligation. The use of this note serves as a reminder for collection of due funds. Here are some situations enumerated wherein seller issues debit note:
- When there is a change in quantity of the order from the side of buyer
- To remind buyer for collection of debts
- When there are some adjustments in invoices from side of seller
- When there is sudden change or increase in price of the goods already supplied to the seller
- When good or services rejected by the buyer
Illustration: X Company (Buyer) places an order for 1500 caps to Y Company (Seller) at the price of 5 AED per Cap. The said caps were delivered successfully, and invoice was raised by the Seller of 4 AED per cap i.e. 6000AED instead of 5 AED per cap. Then later seller reminds that the price agreed between him, and buyer was of 5 AED per cap i.e. 7500 AED. In this situation seller will issue debit note to the buyer for making adjustment in invoice.
There is no specific definition defined for Debit Note but it can easily understand from the above-mentioned situations.
