This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether input tax credit (ITC) can be claimed on Cess paid during the purchase of motor vehicles, in addition to CGST and SGST. The advice given is that ITC on Cess can only be used to offset Compensation Cess liability on outward supplies, not other GST taxes. Furthermore, no refund is available for Cess paid if there is no corresponding Cess liability on outward supplies.

15 November 2022 Dear Sir,

One of my client has paid CESS while purchase of motor vehicle apart from CGST and SGST.

My query is can I claim the input tax credit of Cess amount while calculating my GST liability. There is no CESS liability on outward supply.

Incase ITC cannot be claimed can I get the refund of CESS paid.

Please help me in this matter.

Regards,
Divyesh Jain
