Hello experts,
Our company manufactures machinery and sell it @6.05% in Punjab and @2% against form 'C' out of Punjab. Except other raw materials which is purchased @6.05%, we also use electric motor, ac drives and other electrical items purchased @14.30% for this machines. So the query is:
1. Can we claim / deduct (ITC) full tax of 14.30% of electrical items used for such machinery, even though we are selling the machine @6.05% vat or 2% cst.
2. Also, can we claim / deduct (ITC) full tax in case where we use such electrical items in our factory for our machinery [used in production and not being sold].
