21 March 2009 Services provided or to be provided, this clause will render your advance as taxable.

The date of rendering is important, receipt or payment comes later.

The entire amount stands covered since service has been rendered post the introduction of the service.

This interpretation is purely on the provisions, you may evalute by going through the text of the act for convenience
