a good example would be rent income that has been received in advance another example would be membership fees etc... thr income received in advance is seen as a liability because it is money that does not correlate to that specific accounting or business year but rather for one that is still to come. the income account will then be credited to the income received in advance account and the income received in advance will be debited to the income account such as rent. When the time period for which the money was received comes, then a reversal takes place which is the same only differing by now debiting the income account to income received in advance account and vice versa.

Is rental income received in advance a liability?

Yes, rental income received in advance is considered a liability. This is because it represents an obligation for the landlord to provide the tenant with the use of the property for the period covered by the advance payment. Until the rental period occurs, the landlord has not yet earned the income, thus it is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. Once the rental period is completed, the income can then be recognized as revenue.
