Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether businesses collecting GST on commercial building rent can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) for expenses like painting, lift construction, and new generators. While ITC on lift construction is generally disallowed, painting costs are claimable if expensed, not capitalised. For generators, ITC is allowable if capitalised as machinery related to the building.
The lift construction related ITC cannot be availed as it restricted in sec 17(5) and the painting cost if capitalised to building cannot be availed however if it s chargee to p/l account the ITC can be availed. further if the generator is capitalised as machinary and to the building means the ITC can be availed.
