04 June 2026 If ITC is claimed: You reduce your GST liability, but you must exclude the GST amount from the asset's capitalized cost.

If ITC is not claimed: You may capitalize the full cost (including GST) and claim depreciation on that higher base value.

04 June 2026 You can either claim ITC and exclude the tax from the asset's cost, or choose not to claim ITC and capitalize the entire cost (including GST) to claim depreciation on the higher amount. It is recommended to consult with a professional to determine which option is more advantageous for your situation.
