What is input tax credit?

(All you need to know)

Input tax credit is the credit manufacturer’s received for paying input taxes towards inputs used in the manufacture of products. Similarly, a dealer is entitled to input tax credit if he has purchased goods for resale.

All dealers are liable for output tax on taxable sales done in the process of his business. With the help of input tax credit, he can offset the output tax against the input tax already paid. Input tax credit is not applicable on all types of inputs. Each state has its own norms and conditions in this regard and are applicable accordingly.

1. Must possess a Tax Invoice / Debit or Credit Note / Supplementary Invoice issued by the supplier

2. Must have received the goods/services

3. Must have filed returns

4. Must ensure that the tax charged has been paid to the government by the supplier

5. Must have completed invoice matching and would have arrived at the final ITC post reversals.

Input Tax Credit eligible

To avail input tax credit benefits, the goods purchased should be for one of the below mentioned purposes:

Reversal of Input Tax Credit

ITC can be availed only on goods and services for business purposes. If they are used for non-business (personal) purposes, or for making exempt supplies ITC cannot be claimed . Apart from these, there are certain other situations where ITC will be reversed.

ITC will be reversed in the following cases-

Non-payment of invoices in 180 days

ITC will be reversed for invoices which were not paid within 180 days of issue.

Credit note issued to ISD by seller

This is for ISD. If a credit note was issued by the seller to the HO then the ITC subsequently reduced will be reversed.

Inputs partly for business purpose and partly for exempted supplies or for personal use

This is for businesses which use inputs for both business and non-business (personal) purpose. ITC used in the portion of input goods/services used for the personal purpose must be reversed proportionately.

Capital goods partly for business and partly for exempted supplies or for personal use

This is similar to above except that it concerns capital goods.

ITC reversed is less than required

This is calculated after the annual return is furnished. If total ITC on inputs of exempted/non-business purpose is more than the ITC actually reversed during the year then the difference amount will be added to output liability. Interest will be applicable.
