Reversal process of mobilisation advance with GST

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the process of reversing a mobilisation advance that included GST, particularly when a contract is terminated early. The core issue is how to obtain a credit note with GST from the supplier and account for it against outstanding dues. The advice suggests issuing a credit note for the current settlement, treating the advance reversal as a discount eligible after 12 months, and ensuring the GST credit reversal aligns with the relevant financial year.

18 February 2020 Raise credit note for current settlement with GST not of July 2017. Discount eligible only after 12 months. So credit against latest billing.
