This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A tour operator currently paying 5% GST without Input Tax Credit (ITC) is asking if they can switch to the 18% GST rate with ITC to claim back the GST paid on new car purchases for business expansion. The advice given is that once a supplier opts for the 5% rate without ITC, they must continue with this option for the entire financial year. Changing the tax regime is only possible at the start of the next financial year.
