Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment for GST paid on bank charges when Input Tax Credit (ITC) is not claimable. If ITC is disallowed, the full amount, including the GST paid, should be charged to the Profit & Loss account. However, if an invoice or debit note is available from the bank, ITC can be claimed, and the value should be reduced from the bank charges expense.

17 May 2021 ITC is allowed against the tax invoice or debit note issued by the supplier. In case such debit note/ invoice is available from the supplier the ITC can be claimed.In case claimed you have to reduce the value from the bank charges expense account.
