That means you can\u2019t immediately claim GST on every deposit or down payment you make. Instead, you claim:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"953\">\n<li data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"875\">\n<p data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"875\">When the <strong data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"838\">deposit is retained or forfeited<\/strong> (i.e., becomes part of the supply)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"876\" data-end=\"953\">\n<p data-start=\"878\" data-end=\"953\">Or when the <strong data-start=\"890\" data-end=\"923\">supplier issues a tax invoice<\/strong> and the supply is performed<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"955\" data-end=\"1051\">In short, IRAS requires a link between the payment and the actual supply of goods or services.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1053\" data-end=\"1056\" \/>\n<h5 data-start=\"1058\" data-end=\"1104\">Scenario 1: Deposit Keeps You in the Deal<\/h5>\n<p data-start=\"1106\" data-end=\"1296\">If you make a deposit to secure a contract or reservation, but the contract ultimately proceeds, that deposit is part of the payment for the supply. In that case, you can claim GST <strong data-start=\"1287\" data-end=\"1295\">when<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1389\">\n<li data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1349\">\n<p data-start=\"1301\" data-end=\"1349\">The <strong data-start=\"1305\" data-end=\"1338\">supplier issues a tax invoice<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1340\" data-end=\"1347\">\u548c<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1350\" data-end=\"1389\">\n<p data-start=\"1353\" data-end=\"1389\">The goods or services are supplied<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"1461\">Until then, you wait \u2014 you don\u2019t claim GST on that deposit up front.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1463\" data-end=\"1466\" \/>\n<h5 data-start=\"1468\" data-end=\"1530\">Scenario 2: Deposit Forfeited \/ Not Part of Final Payment<\/h5>\n<p data-start=\"1532\" data-end=\"1858\">If for some reason the deal falls through and the deposit is <strong data-start=\"1593\" data-end=\"1606\">forfeited<\/strong> (i.e., the supplier retains it without supplying anything), then that deposit becomes payment for a supply. In that situation, you <strong data-start=\"1738\" data-end=\"1761\">can claim input tax<\/strong> when the deposit is forfeited (since at that point it functions like the final consideration).<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1860\" data-end=\"1863\" \/>\n<h5 data-start=\"1865\" data-end=\"1912\">Scenario 3: Advance Payment \/ Down Payment<\/h5>\n<p data-start=\"1914\" data-end=\"2001\">When you make a down payment or advance payment before goods or services are delivered:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2003\" data-end=\"2331\">\n<li data-start=\"2003\" data-end=\"2055\">\n<p data-start=\"2005\" data-end=\"2055\">You <strong data-start=\"2009\" data-end=\"2018\">can&#8217;t<\/strong> always claim input tax immediately<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2056\" data-end=\"2206\">\n<p data-start=\"2058\" data-end=\"2206\">You should wait until the supplier issues a <strong data-start=\"2102\" data-end=\"2117\">tax invoice<\/strong> and the actual supply is made (or when the amount is recognized as part of the supply)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2207\" data-end=\"2331\">\n<p data-start=\"2209\" data-end=\"2331\">If the advance payment is adjusted or refunded, your claim should reflect the net amount actually used toward the supply<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr data-start=\"2333\" data-end=\"2336\" \/>\n<h5 data-start=\"2338\" data-end=\"2373\">Important Conditions &amp; Caveats<\/h5>\n<ul data-start=\"2375\" data-end=\"2820\">\n<li data-start=\"2375\" data-end=\"2453\">\n<p data-start=\"2377\" data-end=\"2453\">The <strong data-start=\"2381\" data-end=\"2396\">tax invoice<\/strong> must clearly reflect the GST component and the supply.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2454\" data-end=\"2560\">\n<p data-start=\"2456\" data-end=\"2560\">Ensure that the <strong data-start=\"2472\" data-end=\"2502\">supplier is GST-registered<\/strong>, and that the goods\/services are for your business use.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2561\" data-end=\"2672\">\n<p data-start=\"2563\" data-end=\"2672\">If the deposit is subject to <strong data-start=\"2592\" data-end=\"2629\">changes, cancellations or refunds<\/strong>, you must adjust your claim accordingly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2673\" data-end=\"2820\">\n<p data-start=\"2675\" data-end=\"2820\">In some cases, scheduling, timing, or contractual terms may affect when a supply is deemed to occur \u2014 which in turn affects when you can claim.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr data-start=\"2822\" data-end=\"2825\" \/>\n<h5 data-start=\"2827\" data-end=\"2846\">Best Practices<\/h5>\n<ul data-start=\"2848\" data-end=\"3243\">\n<li data-start=\"2848\" data-end=\"2985\">\n<p data-start=\"2850\" data-end=\"2985\"><strong data-start=\"2850\" data-end=\"2902\">Document contracts, invoices, and correspondence<\/strong> clearly so the link between deposit\/down payment and supply is well established.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2986\" data-end=\"3060\">\n<p data-start=\"2988\" data-end=\"3060\"><strong data-start=\"2988\" data-end=\"3028\">Review refund \/ cancellation clauses<\/strong> and how GST is treated there.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3061\" data-end=\"3138\">\n<p data-start=\"3063\" data-end=\"3138\"><strong data-start=\"3063\" data-end=\"3096\">Coordinate with your supplier<\/strong> to ensure invoices are issued promptly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3139\" data-end=\"3243\">\n<p data-start=\"3141\" data-end=\"3243\"><strong data-start=\"3141\" data-end=\"3167\">Adjust your accounting<\/strong> during close periods to reflect where and when the GST becomes claimable.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr data-start=\"3245\" data-end=\"3248\" \/>\n<h5 data-start=\"3250\" data-end=\"3262\">Summary<\/h5>\n<p data-start=\"3264\" data-end=\"3651\">Deposits and down payments fall into a gray area in GST accounting. You can\u2019t always claim input tax immediately. You must tie the payment to an actual supply \u2014 either via issuance of a tax invoice, the delivery of goods\/services, or forfeiture of deposit. By following the guidelines above and staying careful with documentation, you ensure your GST claims remain valid and compliant.<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only and does not constitute any professional advice.
