This discussion clarifies whether Input Tax Credit (ITC) can be claimed on trucks purchased for the business of supplying sand. The core business involves selling sand to registered dealers at 5% GST, including free transportation. In instances where only transportation services are provided, 12% GST is collected. The consensus is that ITC on the transportation services can be claimed, referencing relevant GST notifications that allow for full ITC under specific circumstances for transport service providers.

Respected Sir/Madam We purchase sand from the register/unregister dealer and then sell it to the registered dealer @5% GST with transportation (free of cost), it is our main business. In some cases, we had also provided only transportation service from where we collected GST @12% (forward charges) In this scenario can we claim ITC on the truck purchased for the supply of sand?
