Can take ITC Shortges and damages of Cement cost debit to transporter.


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A cement transportation business operating under forward charges with 12% GST is receiving debit notes from cement companies for shortages and damages, with GST charged at 28%. The core question is whether the transporter can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on these amounts recovered from their freight bills. Opinions differ, with one view stating ITC cannot be claimed as it's a payment for shortage, while another suggests ITC is claimable as these costs are integral to the business.
