A Return Invoice is a critical business document used in New Zealand to formalize and document the return of goods or services and process associated refunds. This document is essential when customers exercise their right to return purchases and require a refund, whether under consumer protection laws or company policy. The Return Invoice must comply with New Zealand's GST regulations and include specific information such as the original purchase details, reason for return, refund calculations, and GST adjustments. It serves multiple purposes: providing customers with formal documentation of their return, enabling businesses to maintain accurate financial records, and ensuring compliance with tax obligations. The document is particularly important for GST-registered entities as it helps track GST adjustments and maintains proper tax records.
