This discussion clarifies whether Input Tax Credit (ITC) can be claimed on gifts provided to dealers based on sales volume. Generally, ITC on gifts is blocked under Section 17(5) of the GST Act, as gifts are considered something given without consideration. However, if the commodities are distributed at a discounted price, meaning some consideration is received, then ITC may be claimable. In such cases, the consideration charged will be taxable, and GST will be recovered from the dealers.
