This discussion clarifies whether Input Tax Credit (ITC) can be claimed on services related to exempted commodities, specifically in the context of palm oil plantations. While the imported sprouts themselves are exempt from GST, the CHA (Customs House Agent) services used for their import are considered taxable. Therefore, businesses can claim ITC for these CHA services, even though the goods imported are exempt.
