### **1. GST on Advance Receipts**
**a. **Applicability of GST:**
- **Advance Receipts for Supply:**
- When an advance is received for the supply of goods or services, GST is applicable at the time of receiving the advance. This is irrespective of whether the goods or services have been supplied or not at that point in time.
**b. **How to Handle GST on Advance Receipts:**
1. **Issuing a Receipt Voucher:**
- **When Advance is Received:** A receipt voucher should be issued for the advance received. The voucher should mention the amount of advance, applicable GST, and details of the future supply for which the advance is being received.
2. **Charging GST:**
- **GST Rate:** Charge GST based on the applicable rate for the supply of goods or services. The GST charged should be shown separately on the receipt voucher.

3. **Reporting and Payment:**
- **GSTR-1:** Report the advance received and the GST charged in the relevant sections of GSTR-1.
