Key Takeaways<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Input Tax Credit can be claimed on capital goods under the Goods and Services Tax regime. By bringing capital goods under GST, the Government has aimed to reduce the tax burden on business operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being a registered taxpayer, you must claim ITC upon buying input raw materials<\/a> as these will be used for the furtherance of business. Thus, it is essential to offset the initially paid GST while procuring these materials to avoid paying tax on the same supplies twice. In this guide, we will mostly discuss ITC-related claim rules surrounding the supply of capital goods as per the GST Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Capital goods represent various business assets like equipment, machinery, vehicles, plants and other tools that the company would require to produce taxable supplies. For instance, an engine hoist machine used in a garage is a capital asset for the car workshop operator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To figure out the difference between the sale of capital goods and other inputs, let us look at an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Suppose, you own a restaurant. Let\u2019s say the ingredients required to make a specific dish include dairy, vegetables, spices, meat, and grains. These items are all inputs for the final meal sold to a customer. Hence, they help generate revenue but are consumed when the final product is served. Thus, you consider the ingredients to be business expenses.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, suppose a stove is being used to prepare the dish. It is a resource that cannot be completely considered as an expense or in this sense as \u2018inputs\u2019 as they do not get consumed within the year of purchase. Therefore, it is a capital good that depreciates over time. All business operators consider this part of the cost each year through accounting methods such as depreciation, amortisation, and depletion.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Are Capital Goods?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
