Unearned revenue is money received by an individual or company for a service or product that has yet to be provided or delivered. It can be thought of as a “prepayment” for goods or services that a person or company is expected to supply to the purchaser at a later date. This revenue is not actually a revenue rather a liability. This is recorded as\u00a0Advance Revenue<\/strong>\u00a0under\u00a0Current Liability<\/strong>\u00a0Section in the balance sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if we cancel the invoice and don’t refund the received amount then this advance amount is reported as ” other income” in the Income Statement.
