Can edible oil refiners claim refund of ITC due to inverted duty structure of packing material such as tin container,plastic pouches etc used for packing of oil?
As per above post, ITC cannot be claimed on packaging material wherein if goods of supply falls under nil rated tax. We purchase seeds which come packed in a bag which is nil rated supply. We process and pack them in new packaging material and sell it out. The new packaging material has a different HSN code from the initial raw material packaging. We sell the old package material out as we do not have further use for it and the packaging item attracts tax say 5 %. Although we primarily deal with seeds which is nil rated, once in a while, we clear this used packing bags with proper gst invoice. In such cases, can we claim the ITC of newly purchased packing material and use it to offset the tax which is incurred upon while selling the used packing material.
NO PACKAGING MATERIAL WHICH IS ONLY USED FOR MAKING TAXABLE SUPPLY ELIGIBLE FOR ITC
