Quick Summary

Businesses providing scientific R&D services in agriculture can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on GST paid for housekeeping and security services. This is permissible if your business's output supplies are taxable and these services are essential for your operations. The services must be used for the furtherance of your business, such as maintaining labs and securing valuable equipment, to be eligible for ITC.
