ITC refund in case of Transporter

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether a transporter, registered under GTA and paying 5% GST, is eligible for a refund of Input Tax Credit (ITC) on purchases like tyres and parts. The consensus is that if ITC is blocked under Section 17(2) of the CGST Act and cannot be availed, then a refund of that ITC does not arise. Refunds are generally permitted only for specific cases like deemed exports or non-resident taxable persons, as per Section 54.

10 October 2020 Dear Sir,
Transporter is registered under GTA @5% GST payable by Service Recipient.
Transporter can not claim the ITC on purchase of Tyre & thier parts.
Can the Transporter be eligible to take the refund against ITC purchase on it.
Kindly guide us and oblige.
