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.

When a sales invoice is raised against an advance received in a different tax period, you need to adjust the sales with the advance and reverse the tax liability generated for the advance received.

Accounting for Input Tax Credit Under VAT in GCC

You are eligible to get input credit for the tax you have paid on your inward supplies (purchases). In case your inward supplies are reverse-chargeable, you are liable to pay tax, but you can claim input credit. When the inward supplies are not used for generating taxable sales, input credit reversals are applicable. If your input credit is more than your tax liability, you can opt for refund or carry the credit forward to the next period. For all these adjustments, use journal vouchers.

Depending on the type of business transaction for which input credit is being adjusted various adjustment options have been provided in journal voucher. For example: In case of increasing input tax credit, you can use the adjustment options such as Capital Goods, Intra GCC Purchase, and so on depending on the transaction for which adjustment is required.

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).

Non-revenue accounts can be used for recording transactions related to advances, receivables, and payables. They become taxable when used to record a provisional transaction and then adjusted when the transaction is accrued. For example, expenses paid in advance with VAT are then adjusted when the actual payment becomes due. Further, advance received from a customer with tax is adjusted when the actual sales transaction is recorded. When a non-revenue account is used to book a payment or receipt, the voucher value will not affect the turnover for the period.
