FAQ
Amendment can be made in the later tax period also but the date of revised amended invoice date must be the last date of the original invoice tax period.
Invoiced amount is not correct Please find attached a copy of the contract.

In general, it is possible to amend an invoice in situations where a business made an error or the invoice is missing certain information. Invoices that have not been sent to a client should simply be amended and reviewed again before being sent.
In cases where you want to delete or amend an invoice, a credit note will usually suffice as the solution. A credit note allows you to effectively - and legally - cancel an invoice. It's required by law that you always keep a copy of all invoices you issue for control purposes.
If you would like to change the original amount issued on the invoice, you'll need to issue a credit note. This occurs in cases where you forgot to include a discount, or you need to issue a refund to someone for damaged goods.
The bottom line. While amended invoices are legal in most cases, it's still best practice to avoid issuing incorrect invoices to begin with. It's worth setting up an efficient invoicing procedure as part of your business accounting strategy.
If an incorrect invoice has been sent, the business must issue a cancellation invoice with its own, new invoice number. This will include a negative invoice amount, as well as the original invoice number and the date it was issued. Then, a correct invoice can be raised with a different invoice number.
