Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the eligibility for Input Tax Credit (ITC) on company-owned vehicles. It confirms that ITC cannot be claimed on the purchase of a car, nor on associated maintenance costs like servicing and repairs, or insurance payments. These restrictions are due to specific provisions within the CGST Act, 2017, which prohibit ITC for such expenses.
