Input Tax Credit could be a mechanism to avoid cascading of taxes. Cascading of taxes, in simple term, is ‘tax on tax’. Beneath this system of taxation, credit of taxes being levied by Central Government isn’t on the market as set-off for payment of taxes levied by State Governments, and the other way around. The tax charged by the Central or the State Governments would be a part of identical tax regime, credit of tax paid at each stage would be on the market as set-off for payment of tax at each future stage.

What is Input Tax Credit?
At the time of paying tax on output, you can cut down the tax you have already paid on inputs. This is coined as Input Tax Credit. It includes IGST charged on imports & tax collectible beneath reverse charge mechanism

Here is how:
When you get a product/service from a registered dealer you pay taxes on the acquisition. On selling, you collect the tax. You modify the taxes paid at the time of purchase with the number of output tax (tax on sales) and balance liability of tax (tax on sales minus tax on purchase) should be paid to the government. This mechanism is termed as utilization of input tax credit.

For example- you’re a manufacturer:

a. Tax collectable on output (FINAL PRODUCT) is Rs 450

b. Tax paid on input (PURCHASES) is Rs three hundred 

C. you will be able to claim INPUT CREDIT of Rs 300 and you merely got to deposit Rs 150 in taxes.

Who can claim ITC?
ITC may be claimed by someone registered below GST given that he fulfils all the conditions as prescribed.

a. The dealer ought to be in possession of tax invoice
b. The same goods/services are received
c. Returns are filed.
d. The tax charged has been paid to the government by the provider.
E. once merchandise is received in installments ITC may be claimed only if the last heap is received.
f. No ITC are going to be allowed if depreciation has been claimed on tax element of a capital sensible

A person registered below composition theme in GST cannot claim ITC.

What may be claimed as ITC?
ITC may be claimed just for business functions. ITC won’t be accessible for merchandise or services solely used for:

a. Personal use

b. Exempt provides 

C. provides that ITC is specifically not accessible

How to claim ITC?
All regular taxpayers must report the quantity of input diminution (ITC) in their monthly GST returns of form GSTR-3B. The table four wants the standard figure of eligible ITC, Ineligible ITC and ITC reversed throughout the tax quantity. The format of the Table four is given below:

A payer can claim ITC on a provisionary basis at intervals the GSTR-3B to AN extent of 2 hundredth of the eligible ITC reported by suppliers at intervals the auto-generated GSTR-2A return. Hence, a payer got to see to that the GSTR-2A figure before continued to file GSTR-3B. A payer might need claimed any amount of provisionary ITC until October 9, 2019. But, the CBIC has notified that October 9, month 2019, a payer can alone claim less than 20% of the eligible ITC accessible at intervals the GSTR-2A as provisionary ITC. This suggests that the quantity of ITC reported at intervals the GSTR-3B October 9, 2019 are about to be the general of the actual ITC in GSTR-2A and so the provisionary ITC being 20% of the actual eligible ITC at intervals the GSTR-2A. Hence, matching of the acquisition register or expense ledger with the GSTR-2A becomes crucial.

2) Credit note issued to ISD by seller– this can be for ISD. If a credit note was issued by the vendor to the atomic number 67 then the ITC afterwards reduced are going to be reversed.
3) Inputs partially for business purpose and partially for exempted provides or for private use – this can be for businesses that use inputs for each business and non-business (personal) purpose. ITC employed in the portion of input goods/services used for the non-public purpose should be reversed proportionately.
4) Capital merchandise partially for business and partially for exempted provides or for private use – this can be kind of like higher than except that it issues capital merchandise.
