GST on Advance Payment

Time of supply is very important to determine the liability of GST , on the basis of which tax liability is determined when GST is to be paid .

 

1. Advance in case of Supply of Goods : -

Notification no. According to 66/2017- Central Tax , where goods are to be supplied by the supplier , in respect of which any advance amount is received , then in such a case there is no need to pay GST on receipt of advance amount .

The liability to pay GST will arise only when the goods are actually being supplied ( Invoice has been issued ) .

But if a person has opted for the Composition Scheme , then he will not get the benefit of the notification mentioned above . Meaning, if advance amount is received by the composition dealer , then GST liability arises on receipt of advance amount .

 

2. Advance in case of supply of service:-

If advance amount is received in respect of supply of service , then liability to pay GST arises when the advance amount is received .

 

Note :

But if an amount up to Rs 1000 is received , then in such a case the service provider has the option to pay the GST either at the time of receiving the advance or when the service is actually being provided.
