Project Report on Input Tax Credit

1. Acknowledgement
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my internship mentor and faculty members
for their valuable guidance and support throughout the duration of my internship. I am also
thankful to the organization for giving me the opportunity to work and learn in a
professional environment. This project report on Input Tax Credit is the result of the
knowledge and experience gained during my internship, and it would not have been
possible without the support and cooperation of all those involved.

2. Introduction
Input Tax Credit (ITC) is one of the most significant features under the Goods and Services
Tax (GST) regime in India. It allows businesses to claim credit for the tax paid on inputs
(goods or services) used in the course or furtherance of business. This mechanism ensures
that tax is collected on the value addition at each stage of the supply chain, thereby avoiding
the cascading effect of taxes.

The primary aim of ITC is to reduce the burden of taxes on businesses, ensuring seamless
flow of credit and improving the overall efficiency of the tax system. ITC plays a pivotal role
in reducing the cost of production and enhancing competitiveness by allowing
manufacturers and service providers to offset their input tax liability.

For example, suppose a manufacturer purchases raw materials worth ₹1,00,000 and pays
18% GST (i.e., ₹18,000) to the supplier. Later, when the manufacturer sells the finished
product for ₹1,50,000 and charges 18% GST (₹27,000), he can utilize the ₹18,000 paid as
input tax to reduce his output liability. Thus, he only needs to deposit ₹9,000 (₹27,000 -
₹18,000) with the government.

This system of ITC enhances transparency, prevents tax-on-tax, and simplifies the taxation
process for businesses, contributing to ease of doing business in India.

3. Eligibility and Conditions for Taking Input Tax Credit


To claim Input Tax Credit under GST, the following conditions must be met:
• The claimant must be a registered taxable person under GST.
• The person must possess a valid tax invoice or debit note issued by a registered supplier.
• The goods or services must have been actually received.
• The tax charged must be paid to the government by the supplier.
• The recipient must have furnished the relevant GST returns.
• The ITC must be claimed within the prescribed time limit.

Some other conditions include:


• Payment to the supplier must be made within 180 days of the invoice date. If not, ITC
claimed must be reversed.
• ITC can be claimed only if the invoice is reflected in the GSTR-2B form of the recipient.
• ITC on capital goods is allowed over a period if used for business purposes.

Examples:
1. A trader purchases laptops for office use from a registered supplier. If the supplier has
paid GST to the government and the trader receives the goods and the invoice, ITC can be
claimed.
2. If goods are used partly for business and partly for personal purposes, ITC is allowed only
on the portion used for business.

Ineligible ITC:
• Goods/services used for personal consumption.
• Goods lost, stolen, destroyed, or written off.
• Goods given as free samples or gifts.
• Certain motor vehicles, unless used for specific purposes like transport, training, etc.
