This discussion clarifies Input Tax Credit (ITC) availability for a Bolero-Hilux (HLXX0) used for site work, such as transferring oil barrels and labour. Generally, ITC is restricted for goods and services used in constructing immovable property, with exceptions for plant and machinery. However, if the Bolero-Hilux is used for providing construction services charged at 18% GST, ITC can be claimed. If services are provided at lower GST rates (1% or 5%), ITC must be claimed on a pro-rata basis. Importantly, ITC on Cess paid during purchase and on personal vehicles is not eligible.

Mr. A has purchased bolero-hilux HLXX0 for his site work like transferring oil barrel from one site to other site, transfer labor from one site to other site. Weather ITC available for above in GST for Mr.A ?

It depends upon output services. Under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act, ITC is generally not available for goods and services used in the construction of immovable property, except for plant and machinery. This applies even when the construction is for business purposes.

Mr. A is providing construction services then is it available ? Mr. A also paid CESS while purchasing the bolero it is eligible to take as input ?
