Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment for business car purchases where GST is charged. It explains that while GST credit on cars is generally ineligible under Section 17(5), the full invoice value, including GST, should be capitalised as a fixed asset. Depreciation can then be claimed on this total value, not just the taxable amount. The correct journal entries and GSTR-3B reporting for ineligible ITC are also outlined.

Transaction should be recorded With bifurcation, as GST credit on car purchase is ineligible u/s 17(5) and the same should shown under ineligible credit in respective 3B. You can claim Depreciation on total Value.. i.e Taxable value plus Tax amount.
