My Problem is the Project is not yet Started but our company is Collecting the Advertorial & Books order Amount by Raising The Invoice is it correct or Not
Whether we should Raise Invoice Or Not

Dear, In my advice you can to raise final invoice right now rather you can raise performa invoice only. Final invoice can only be issued on completion of books and delivered to the party.
Till the time the amount will be considered as advance receipt only.
It would attract sales tax only for the publishing house.
For writer it would attract service tax under royalty payment as well as TDs would come into play.
