Quick Summary
This discussion explores the possibility of claiming Goods and Services Tax (GST) input tax credit (ITC) on interior works for a property used as both a residence and an office. The advice suggests that if the same address is registered under GST for the office portion, separate bills for that part of the work may allow for ITC claims. The nature of the interior work items is also highlighted as a key factor in justifying such claims.

Is your same address registered under GSTIN?

If yes, take separate bills for the office portion and claim ITC over it.

Pls specify the nature of items for interior works

Depends on what the interior work becomes:

• Interior works that become part of the immovable property (false ceilings, flooring, fixed partitions, built-in cabinets, wiring embedded in walls) are "construction" for Sec 17(5)(c)/(d) (which includes renovation, repairs and additions to immovable property to the extent capitalised). ITC is blocked if capitalised.

• Movable furniture, fixtures and equipment (loose furniture, AC units, lights not embedded): ITC is allowed if used for business.

• If the interior work is expensed (repair or maintenance, not capitalised), the 17(5)(d) restriction doesn't apply ("to the extent capitalised"), so ITC is allowed.

• "Residential premises" used for your professional office: ITC is allowed only for the business-use portion. Personal-use ITC is blocked (17(5)(g)).
