This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Input Tax Credit (ITC) on capital goods for newly registered businesses. For businesses making only taxable supplies, the full ITC on a new CNC machine can generally be claimed in the same month of purchase. However, if capital goods are used for both taxable and exempt supplies, the ITC must be claimed proportionately over 60 months. It's also important to note that ITC on the GST component included in depreciation is disallowed, and there are time limits for claiming ITC.

Don’t forget the time bar: ITC for capital goods must be claimed by the earlier of the due date for the September return of the following year or the annual return filing date. Also, if capital goods are used partly for exempt supplies, ITC must be reversed proportionately over 60 months. Finally, if the GST component is included in depreciation, the ITC on that portion is disallowed under GST law.
