GST on Mutual Fund


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A software consultancy is asking if they can claim Goods and Services Tax (GST) paid on mutual fund investments as input tax. The general consensus is that this is not claimable as input tax as it's for investment purposes and not directly related to the company's output supplies. However, the GST paid on mutual funds might be considered a deductible expense under the Income Tax Act if the income is declared under the head 'Profits and Gains from Business or Profession' (PGBP).

26 May 2022 A Software consultancy Pvt Ltd. Company - Invested money in Mutual Fund. Can it claim GST paid on Mutual Fund purchased as input GST?

27 May 2022 As per my view ITC can not be claimed as GST paid is not related to output supply of company and only for investment purpose.

27 May 2022 Thank you for your reply. One more question, whether Input GST on MF purchased is deductible expenses under Income Tax Act? Is it a Profit and Loss Item?

06 June 2022 Yes, it can be deductible, when income is declared under head PGBP.
