Point of taxation rules link service tax to provision, invoice issuance or payment, determining applicable tax timing and rate. Point of taxation is fixed at the earliest of three events: provision of service, issuance of invoice, or receipt of payment. Advances (other than interest free refundable deposits) trigger tax on receipt. For continuous supplies, timing follows a sequential test: contractual payment due date, event/milestone completion, then invoice or payment (earlier). Rate changes are governed by rules that generally treat the earlier of invoice or payment as the point of taxation, with a 30 day exception for invoices issued before a rate change.
