This discussion clarifies whether GST charged on car insurance premiums is claimable as Input Tax Credit (ITC). Generally, ITC on insurance for personal vehicles, even if owned by a proprietorship and used for business visits, is not allowed. This is because ITC on motor vehicles for transporting persons with a seating capacity under 13 is restricted, except for specific taxable supplies outlined in the Act. Consequently, GST on repairs and maintenance for such vehicles is also typically not claimable.
