Advances Received Under VAT in GCC

You can record the advance amount received from customers in a receipt voucher by marking it as advance receipt. You need to pay VAT for any advance received for goods or services, if the supply is not fulfilled in the same period.

Application of VAT on Non-revenue Accounts

You can calculate tax for non-revenue accounts created under the group Current Assets and Current Liabilities. Further, for non-revenue account ledgers created under the group Investments, Loans & Advances (Assets), Loans (Liability), and Misc. Expenses (Assets).

For example, expenses paid in advance with VAT are then adjusted when the actual payment becomes due.
