The matter has been examined by the Board, it is clarified that the discount if any to be given by a retailer has to be depicted on the invoice horizontally i.e. from left to right.
The captions such as total, sales tax paid, discount allowed appearing at the bottom of the invoice are standalone notations and do not necessarily add or subtract one another.
