When advance is received and an invoice is not recorded against the advance in the same period, the taxable person has to pay tax on the amount of advance received. In a taxable period, keeping track of the advance received and creating tax liability for such an amount will be a difficult task.

The report Advance Receipt Summary provided in TallyPrime will help you get the details of all advance receipts in a period. With this report it is easy to get the details of advance received, invoice created, and liability booked against the total advance amount. This report will also provide the details of unrecorded advance amount for, which, liability is not created yet.

Note: For a company enabled for Oman VAT, this report will be applicable for transactions recorded on or after 16-Apr-2021.
