This discussion clarifies whether a GST-registered eatery charging 5% GST on food items can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on purchases like rice, sugar, and oil. The consensus is that restaurants operating under the 5% GST regime are not eligible for ITC on their purchases. This rule applies regardless of whether the restaurant serves alcohol or has air conditioning.
