Answer to Q1) :

YES. M/s SS Enterprises is eligible to claim ITC on purchase of inputs like bricks, electrical fittings like lamp, wire, Cement, Sand, TMT Bars etc. For you, these are the inputs which are required for the output service ( course of business ). And as per the Provision of Section 16(1) of the CGST Act 2017, Input Tax Credit ( ITC ) on Inputs, Input Services and Capital Goods 'used in the course or furtherance of business' can be claimed. Hence M/s SS Enterprises is eligible to claim ITC subject to fulfillment of the 4 conditions as laid down u/s 16(2) of the CGST Act 2017.

As far Section 17(5) - BLOCKED CREDIT is concerned, the Recipient ( in your case M/s XYZ Ltd ) is not eligible to claim ITC on GST paid for the Works Contract Services supplied by M/s SS Enterprises. It is specifically Blocked under Section 17(5) clause (c) of the CGST Act 2017. Section 17(5)(c) needs to be read from the recipients point of view and not the supplier.

Answer to Q2) :

As per the Provision of Section 15(1) of the CGST Act 2017, GST is levied on the "TRANSACTION VALUE."

Now for calculating this Transaction Value, there are some items which needs to be added to it ( Section 15(2) ) and some items which needs to be deducted from it ( Section 15(3) ). Items like Taxes other than GST, Amount that the supplier is liable to pay but which has been incurred by the recipient, Incidental Expenses, Interest or late fees or Penalty for delayed payment of any consideration etc is required to be added with your Transaction Value. Kindly note that Transaction Value "does not include GST."

So the Taxable Value / Transaction Value will be Rs. 97 lakhs less the amount of CGST, WBSGST ( since 97 lakhs include GST portion ) and then GST needs to be charged separately. Now the GST Amount depends upon your Transaction Value (TV). First calculate TV on the basis of Section 15(2) and 15(3) and then GST shall be levied @ 18% on the Transaction Value.

Answer to Q3) :

As far as M/s XYZ is concerned, he needs to pay the consideration along with GST @ 18% for the Works Contract Services to M/s SS Enterprises. And M/s XYZ will not be eligible to claim ITC on this 18% GST paid since it is a Blocked Credit under Section 17(5) clause (c) of the CGST Act 2017. This Ineligible ITC needs to be reported in Table No. 4(D) column (1) of FORM GSTR-3B by M/s XYZ.

Answer to Q4).

GST Rate : 12% ( for Govt Works ).

SAC Code : 9954

How to calculate the tax amount ? : In accordance with the Provision of Section 15 ( as explained above ).

ITC is Available to the Works Contractor for the Inputs, Input Services and Capital Goods used for supplying the service subject to fulfillment of Section 16(2) four conditions.

My question No 1 :

Sir as per our local CA / Expert/ lawyer said “as per Section 17(5)(c) of CGST Act 2017 input tax credit in respect of work contract services has been restricted. ITC for works contract can be availed only by one who is in the same line of business and is using such services received for further supply of works contract service”.
