Taxable event
\nThe taxable event in respect of services is for the services provided or to be provided. The taxable event also depends upon the place of provision of service and point of taxation. Likewise the taxable event in excise duty is the removal of excisable goods manufactured or produced. In VAT the taxable event is the time of sale of goods. The taxable events under the existing indirect laws shall stand subsumed in the taxable event known as 'supply' in the model GST law.

\nDeposit – consideration?
\nThe proviso to Section 2(28) provides that a deposit, whether refundable or not, given in respect of the supply of goods and\/or services shall not be considered as payment made for the supply unless the supplies applies the deposit as consideration of the supply.
