Input Tax Credit – Important Points

1.   Input tax credit on capital goods can be availed at the time of capitalisation of the capital goods in the books of accounts.

2.   Input tax credit of one State cannot be used to set off output GST liability of another State.

3.   A supplier cannot take Input Tax Credit of GST paid on goods or services used to make supplies on which the recipient is liable to pay tax under reverse charge mechanism.

4.   Recipient of supply of goods or service while paying GST under reverse charge mechanism is not eligible to avail the input tax credit. This is because any amount payable under reverse charge shall be paid by debiting the electronic cash ledger. In other words, reverse charge liability cannot be discharged by using input tax credit.

5.   After discharging reverse charge liability, credit of the same can be taken by the recipient of such goods or services at the time of paying his output GST, if he is otherwise eligible i.e. if such goods or services are used for his business or furtherance of his business.

6.   A person registered under the Composition Scheme is not eligible for input tax credit.

7.   A buyer of goods who buys such goods from a person registered under the Composition Scheme is also not eligible for input tax credit at the time of selling of such goods and paying his output GST on such goods.

8.   Input tax credit is not available on exempt supplies. But input tax credit is available on goods and services for which applicable GST rate is 0%. Examples of goods and services for which GST rate is 0% are:

a)      Export goods and services,

b)      Supply of goods and services to Special Economy Zone.

9.  Input tax credit is available as soon as inputs of goods and services are received. In other words, there is no need to wait for taking input tax credit till these inputs are actually used in production. In practice, entire input tax credit forms a common pool which is used as adjustment at the time of paying the output GST liability as and when goods and services are sold.

 

Conditions for taking input tax credit

1.       As per Section 16(1) of the CGST Act, 2017, a registered person is not entitled to take credit of the input tax charged to him on any supply of goods or services or both, if such goods or services or both are neither used nor intended to be used in the course or furtherance of his business.

2.       To take input tax credit the dealer should be registered under the GST Law.

3.       To avail the benefit of input tax credit the dealer should be in possession of a tax invoice or debit note or bill of entry issued by a registered supplier of goods or services or both.

4.       No input tax credit can be availed by a registered supplier in respect of any tax that has been paid in pursuance of any ‘order’ where any demand has been confirmed on account of any fraud, wilful miss-statement or suppression of facts.

5.       Input tax credit is available only if the registered dealer has actually received the goods or services or both.

6.       As per the first proviso to Section 16(2), where the goods against an invoice are received in lots or instalments, the registered person shall be entitled to take credit of input tax paid on such goods only upon receipt of the last lot or instalment.

7.       Input tax credit can be availed by the dealer only if the input tax has actually been paid to the Government by the supplier of goods/services either in cash or through utilisation of input tax credit as might be admissible to the supplier.

8.       Input tax credit is available to a registered person as soon as the goods or services are received by him. But a registered person shall not be entitled to take input tax credit in respect of any invoice or debit note for supply of goods or services or both after the date which is earlier of the following two dates:

a.   The 30th November following the end of financial year to which such invoice or debit note pertains; or

b.   Actual date of filing the annual return in form GSTR–9 relating to the same financial year.

9.   Input tax credit on any inward supply of goods or services or both is available to a registered person, if he pays to the supplier of such goods or services or both the value of such supply along with the tax payable thereon within 180 days from the date of issue of invoice by the supplier. If the payment is not made within 180 days, the input tax credit, if already taken by the registered person on such inward supply of goods or services or both, shall be reversed.

10.  Where a registered dealer has claimed depreciation on GST component of the cost of capital goods and plant and machinery under the provision of Income Tax Act, 1961, the input tax credit with respect to the said GST component shall not be allowed to the said registered dealer u/s 16(3) of the GST Act, 2017.

 

Example: 1

Dealer A buys a machine from B at a price of Rs 10, 00,000 + GST @ 18%. Therefore, total capitalised value of the machine = Rs 10, 00,000 + 18% of Rs 10, 00,000 = Rs 10, 00,000 + 1, 80,000 = Rs 11, 80,000. Here, Rs 1, 80,000 is the input GST on the machine bought.

 

Option: 1

If Mr. A charges depreciation u/s 32 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 @ 15% of the capitalised value of the machine, total depreciation charged = Rs 11, 80,000 × 15% = Rs 1,77,000, which includes depreciation on the GST component of the capitalised value of the machine = Rs 1,80,000 × 15% = Rs 27,000. Therefore, in this case, Mr. A shall not be entitled to take input tax credit of the input GST paid Rs 1, 80,000 on the machine bought.

 

Option: 2

On the other hand, if Mr. A charges depreciation @ 15% u/s 32 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 on the purchase price of the machine only, total depreciation charged = Rs 10,00,000 × 15% = Rs 1,50,000. In this case, Mr. A shall be entitled to take the input tax credit of the input GST paid Rs 1, 80,000: Credit of input CGST Rs 90,000 and credit of input SGST Rs 90,000.

 


Apportionment of Credit

[Section 17(1)/ (2)/ (3) of the CGST Act, 2017]

 

1. Where the goods or services or both are used by the registered person partly for the purpose of any business and partly for other purposes, the amount of credit shall be restricted to so much of the input tax as is attributable to the purposes of his business.

 

2. Where the goods or services or both are used by the registered person partly for effecting taxable supplies including zero-rated supplies under this Act or under the IGST Act, 2017 and partly for effecting exempt supplies under the said Acts, the amount of credit shall be restricted to so much of the input tax as is attributable to the said taxable supplies including zero-rated supplies.

 

3. The value of exempt supply under sub-section (2) shall be such as may be prescribed, and shall include supplies on which the recipient is liable to pay tax on reverse charge basis, transactions in securities, sale of land and, subject to clause (b) of paragraph 5 of Schedule II, sale of building.

 

Explanation:

“For the purposes of this sub- section, the expression ‘‘value of exempt supply’’ shall not include the value of activities or transactions specified in Schedule III, except those specified in paragraph 5 of the said Schedule”.

 

4. The Government may prescribe the manner in which the credit referred to in sub-sections (1) and (2) may be attributed.

 

Explanation:     For the purposes of this Chapter and Chapter VI, the expression “plant and machinery” means apparatus, equipment, and machinery fixed to earth by foundation or structural support that are used for making outward supply of goods or services or both and includes such foundation and structural supports but excludes—

i.       Land, building or any other civil structures;

ii.     Telecommunication towers; and

iii.   Pipelines lay outside the factory premises.

 

Manner of determination of input tax credit in respect of inputs or input services and reversal thereof [Rule 42(1) of the CGST Rules, 2017]:

The input tax credit in respect of inputs or input services, which attract the provisions of sub-section (1) or sub-section (2) of section 17, being partly used for the purposes of business and partly for other purposes, or partly used for effecting taxable supplies including zero rated supplies and partly for effecting exempt supplies, shall be attributed to the purposes of business or for effecting taxable supplies in the following manner, namely:-

 

Step 1: Calculate common input tax credit on inputs and input services which are used to supply taxable as well as exempted output supplies:

Important Note:

As per Rule 42(1) (g) of the CGST Rules, 2017, information relating to Rule 42(1) (b), (c), (d) and (f) shall be determined and declared by the registered person at the invoice level in Form GSTR-2;

 

Step 2: Amount of reversal of ITC attributable towards exempt supplies as per Rule 42(1) (i) of the CGST Rules, 2017 (denoted as D1)

 

D1 = C2 × E/F

(Common ITC which are used to supply taxable as well as exempted output supplies) × [Exempted Supplies (i.e. exempted outputs + exempted output services) during the Tax Period ('E') ÷ Total turnover in the State of the registered person during the tax period ('F')]

 

Provided that where the registered person does not have any turnover during the said tax period or the aforesaid information is not available, the value of ‘E/F’ shall be calculated by taking values of ‘E’ and ‘F’ of the last tax period for which the details of such turnover are available, previous to the month during which the said value of ‘E/F’ is to be calculated;

 

Explanation:

For the purposes of this clause, it is hereby clarified that the aggregate value of exempt supplies and the total turnover shall exclude the amount of any duty or tax levied under entry 84 of List I of the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution and entry 51 and 54 of List II of the said Schedule;

 

Notification No. 3/2018-Central Tax, dated 23rd January 2018:

For the purposes of rule 42 and this rule, it is hereby clarified that the aggregate value of exempt supplies shall exclude:—

(a) The value of services by way of accepting deposits, extending loans or advances in so far as the consideration is represented by way of interest or discount, except in case of a banking company or a financial institution including a non-banking financial company, engaged in supplying services by way of accepting deposits, extending loans or advances; and

 

(b) The value of supply of services by way of transportation of goods by a vessel from the customs station of clearance in India to a place outside India.

 

Tax period:

As per section 2(106) of the CGST Act, 2017 tax period means the period for which return is required to be furnished. As per section 39 return is required to be furnished on monthly basis by the registered person except the person opting for composition scheme or persons eligible to file return quarterly basis on their aggregate turnover not exceeding Rs 150 lakhs.

 

Important note:

This rule is not applicable to persons opting for composition scheme.

 

Computing proportionate amount attributable to use for non-business purposes (i.e. Personal purpose) [Rule 42(1) (j) of the CGST Act, 2017]:

The amount of credit attributable to non-business purposes, if common inputs and input services are used partly for business and partly for non-business purposes, denoted as D2, shall be equal to five per cent of C2. Therefore, Amount of reversal of ITC attributable towards non-business purpose as per Rule 42(1) (j) of the CGST Rules, 2017 (denoted as D2):

 

D2 = C2 × 5%

 

Thus, if inputs or input services have been used for non-business purpose, as per rule 42(1) (j) of the CGST Rules, 2017, credit of 5% of “C2” will be required to be reversed. It means the same should be deducted from input tax credit on inputs or input services exclusively used for taxable supply in the electronic credit ledger.

 

Quantum of eligible ITC [Rule 42(1) (k) of the CGST Act, 2017]:

The remainder of the common credit shall be the eligible input tax credit attributed to the purposes of business and for effecting supplies other than exempted supplies but including zero rated supplies and shall be (denoted as C3)

 

C3 = C1 − (D1 + D2)

 

[Rule 42(1) (i) of the CGST Rules, 2017]:

Eligible ITC shall be computed separately for different taxes i.e. C3 shall be computed separately for CGST, SGST, UTGST and IGST.

 

[Rule 42(1) (m) of the CGST Rules, 2017]:

A registered person shall compute D1 and D2 (i.e. ineligible credits) in addition to ineligible credit at invoice level and add that amount to the output tax liability. This will be added on monthly basis and the registered person should pay the amount.

 

[Rule 42(2) of the CGST Rules, 2017]:

The input tax credit determined under sub-rule (1) shall be calculated finally for the financial year before the due date for furnishing of the return for the month of September following the end of the financial year to which such credit relates, in the manner specified in the said sub-rule and –

 

(A)    Where [Yearly (D1 + D2)] > [Monthly (D1 + D2)]

Where the aggregate of the amounts calculated finally in respect of D1 and D2 exceeds the aggregate of the amounts determined under sub-rule (1) in respect of D1 and D2, such excess shall be added to the output tax liability of the registered person in the month not later than the month of September following the end of the financial year to which such credit relates and the said person shall be liable to pay interest on the said excess amount at the rate specified in Section 50 (1) for the period starting from the first day of April of the succeeding financial year till the date of payment; or

 

(B)    Where [Monthly (D1 + D2)] > [Yearly (D1 + D2)]

Where the aggregate of the amounts determined under sub-rule (1) in respect of D1 and D2 exceeds the aggregate of the amounts calculated finally in respect of D1 and D2, such excess amount shall be claimed as credit by the registered person in his return for the month not later than the month of September following the end of the financial year to which such credit relates.

P Ltd. is not eligible to take credit on proportionate basis, because as per first proviso to Section 16(2), where the goods against an invoice are received in lots or instalments, the registered person shall be entitled to take credit upon receipt of the last lot or instalment. In the given case input ‘Z’ has been received in lots and hence the credit of input tax Rs 78,000 [i.e. Rs 7, 28,000 × (12/112)] paid on such input shall be taken by P Limited only after receipt of the fourth lot i.e. on 01.12.2022.
