Claim for Refund of Input Credit under GST

Hello! Everyone,

I have active GST number and paying my returns regularly. By profession, I am into the business of tours and travels.

Recently I've taken a truck on loan and invoiced under my GST no. I have got a GST credit of Rs. 5,40,000 at the tax rate of 28%. I have two queries which I'd like to ask the pannel and help me resolve it.

1) Can I do some kind of trading business and use the available credit to pay off the GST. And can it be used for products under 18% GST category.

2) Can I claim for a refund of this input tax credit available. If so, please let me know how should this be done.

Please guide me though this.

Thank You!

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses queries regarding the refund of input tax credit (ITC) for a truck purchased under a GST registration for a tours and travels business. The user wants to know if the substantial ITC of Rs. 5,40,000 can be used for a trading business or claimed as a refund. Experts advise that ITC on capital goods like trucks is generally not claimable if used for exempted supplies or if depreciation is claimed. It's recommended to use the truck for taxable supplies to be eligible for ITC, and to avoid potential penalties and interest by reversing ineligible credit.

1. Sir firstly I need to know for what purpose you are using that truck???

Thank You for the response.

The truck will be used for transport business not for self use.

And whether you are paying tax on forward charge for transportation business.

No. I'm not.

I want to use this credit for my trading business under the same name and GST ID. I also deal into spare parts wherein I'm looking to use this credit.

Or by any means can this credit be physically withdrawn by filing for refund.

It is not possible.

If refund is not possible. I assume this credit can be used in paying GST for my trading business.

No sooner or later department will ask you to reverse the ITC and that time you have to reverse back with interest.

Either justify that the truck is used only for you trading business and all the supplies are taxable in nature.
