A partnership firm involved in bakery manufacturing, currently paying 18% GST on sales, is expanding its business. They have purchased various plant, machinery, and kitchen equipment for this expansion. The question is whether they are eligible to claim the Input GST paid on these purchases. The consensus is yes, as these assets are being acquired for business purposes, making the Input Tax Credit (ITC) claimable.
