Regarding Confusion in ITC.

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the confusion surrounding claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) for stationery and telephone expenses when a client primarily earns rent income under GST. Experts confirm that ITC can be claimed for expenses directly incurred to earn rental income, provided proper documentation exists and conditions under Section 16 are met. However, claiming ITC for expenses not related to earning rental income or claiming in full without proper allocation is incorrect and may require reversal of the credit.

09 July 2025 Any expense incurred for earning the rental income, be it for stationery or telephonic charges, you can claim. But you cannot claim it in lumpsum. What you have been told is correct if you are claiming these expenses in total, i.e. even if not incurred for earning the income.
