A restaurant owner is seeking clarification on GST implications. They currently charge customers 5% GST and want to know if they can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) at higher rates (18% and 12%) on raw materials. The general understanding seems to be that only 5% ITC can be availed, which could lead to an effective tax increase.
Our sister concern is a Restaurant and GST of 5% as per GST rates is charged to the customers , can ITC of 18% and 12% on the rawmaterials be claimed or only 5% is allowed to be availed
