GST on Motor car purchased

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether a proprietary transport business can claim input GST on a motor car purchased for Rs. 3,600,000. Generally, input tax credit (ITC) for cars is blocked under Section 17(5) unless the vehicle is used for resale, passenger transport (like a taxi), or a driving school. If the car is used in furtherance of the business beyond these specific purposes, ITC may be claimable; otherwise, it will be reversed.
