Can we take gst credit on Mask and covid related items.?

This discussion clarifies whether GST credit can be claimed on masks and other COVID-related items. The consensus is that if these items are procured for staff members to ensure smooth business operations and are used in the course of business, then Input Tax Credit (ITC) is available. This is based on Section 16 of the GST Act, as these items are considered necessary for conducting business, especially in the current climate, and no specific notification is required.
