29 October 2019 You can opt for Project Completion Method or Cash Method. In the former the amount received will be treated as Advance as also TDS deducted will have to be carried forward. Full amount will be treated as Turnover and credit of TDS will be allowed in the year of Completion. Since Work Construction is a Service under GST Act, the amount received should be treated as Turnover in the year you have received the payment. Otherwise the income can be treated as Turnover as and when you receive the payment. TDS will be allowed accordingly.
