A good news under the proposed the GST regime is that unlike the current VAT provision where a dealer can avail benefit of VAT paid under the state acts only, under the proposed GST regime a registered person shall be able to avail the input tax credit of GST paid both under the state act as well as GST paid under the central act i.e. input tax credit of SGST/UGST, CGST & IGST shall be available. Though some restrictions have been placed as regards inter-head adjustments of input tax credits, but apart from few exceptions, proper care has been taken to allow the seamless flow of credits across all goods & services. In this article we will try to understand all the provisions relating to Input Tax credits under the proposed GST regime.

In this article, unless otherwise specifically mentioned, all the sections &provisions mentioned here means the respective sections and provisions of CGST Act.

In this article, unless otherwise specifically mentioned, Inputs includes inputs on goods and inputs on services.

Some important definitions which are relevant for this article:

INPUT TAX means the CGST, SGST, IGST or UGST charged on any supply of goods or services or both made and includes IGST on Imports & tax payable under reverse charge provisions. However, Input Tax does not include the tax paid under the composition levy. [Section 2(62)]

INPUT TAX CREDIT means the credit of input tax. [Section 2(63)]

CAPITAL GOODS means goods, the value of which is capitalised in the books of account of the person claiming the input tax credit and which are used or intended to be used in the course or furtherance of business. [Section 2(19)]

TAXABLE SUPPLY means a supply of goods or services or both which is leviable to tax under this Act [Section 2(108)]

NON-TAXABLE SUPPLY means a supply of goods or services or both which is not leviable to tax under this Act or under the IGST Act. [Section  2(78)]

EXEMPT SUPPLY means supply of any goods or services or both which attracts nil rate of tax or which may be wholly exempt from tax under section 11 of CGST Act, or under section 6 of the IGST Act, and includes non-taxable supply. [Section 2(47)]

ZERO RATED SUPPLY means any of the following supplies of goods or services or both, namely:––

Credit of input tax may be availed for making zero-rated supplies, notwithstanding that such supply may be an exempt supply. [Section 16(2) of IGST Act]

The input tax credit shall be credited to the electronic credit ledger of the registered supplier. [Section 49(2)]

Though you may utilize tax credit of SGST/UGST for payment of IGST & vice-a-versa, also you may utilize tax credit of CGST for payment of IGST & vice-a-versa, however inter-head adjustment of SGST/UGST with CSGT and vice-a-versa is not allowed under the proposed GST regime. [Section 49(5)(e)]

T2=ITC on inputs used exclusively for exempt supplies. (TOTALLY DISALLOWED)

C2 = C1- T4 (PARTLY ALLOWED)

D1= Common ITC attributable towards exempt supplies.

D2= Common ITC attributable towards non-business supplies.

 

(The amount equal to ‘D1’ and ‘D2’ shall be added to the output tax liability of the registered person)

D2 = 5% of C2          (DISALLOWED)

Banking companies or a financial institution including a non-banking financial company

Banking companies or a financial institution including a non-banking financial company are generally engaged in supplying services by way of accepting deposits, extending loans or advances. These companies provides a lot of taxable & tax exempt supplies and it shall be very tedious to  maintain details of taxable & exempt services every month, so the government have provided them an option to

or

avail only 50% of the eligible input tax credit on inputs, capital goods and input services and the rest shall lapse [Section 17(4)]

The option once exercised shall not be withdrawn during the remaining part of the financial year: [first proviso to Section 17(4)]

    Sir, artile is good but for me, please reply
    I want to know whether a assessee/unit is not registered with excise as manufacturer but registered as DEALER in excise and also registered in state VAT Act.
    This assessee/unit is having excisble goods and its invoices in his name and Cenvat Credit balance in DEALER book and its buyer have the same dealer bills whether both are eligible for credit under CGST even they are not registered with excise

  10. CA Lalit Munoyat says:

    ISD
    “If some or all recipients of the credit do not have any turnover in their States or Union territories in the financial year preceding the year during which the credit is to be distributed, the “relevant period” shall be the last quarter for which details of such turnover of all the recipients are available, previous to the month during which credit is to be distributed [Explanation a(ii) to Section 20 ] ”

    How will one determine the “relevant period” if one or more of the recipients units of ISD don’t have any turnover in any month comprised in a quarter because as per definition,for distribution of ISD, it is a pre-condition that all the recipients units must have some turnover. (Nil turnover is not envisaged.)
