Question and options

For a supply of services, neither clause (a) nor clause (b) of section 13(2) of the CGST Act, 2017 applies. Which date does clause (c) use as the time of supply?

  1. The date the supplier receives payment

  2. The date the recipient enters the service in its books

  3. The date the supplier issues the invoice

  4. The date the supplier completes the service

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - The date the recipient enters the service in its books

Section 13(2)(c) of the CGST Act makes the time of supply the date on which the recipient shows receipt of services in its books of account, where clauses (a) and (b) do not apply. The invoice and payment dates are the tests under clauses (a) and (b), and completion of the service is relevant only to whether the invoice was issued in time.
