Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a company can claim GST input tax credit on expenses for furniture, repairs, and renovation of a rented office. The core issue is a single bill for a composite supply of goods and services. While GST on repairs and maintenance for business furtherance is generally allowable if not capitalised, the nature of the composite supply and separate charging of GST on goods and services are key considerations.

In my opinion, GST paid for the furtherance of business in relation to repairs and maintenance expenditures (such as chairs, tables, etc.) on rented property is allowable, but only to the extent that these expenses are not capitalized.

Sir we have entered into contract for supply of furniture and also office renovation I.e; composite supply of goods and services for which the dealer have charged a single amount whether gst paid on this amount would be allowed as input or not.

See, charging a single amount (in the nature of package) is not criteria for determining composite supply as composite supply is one in which one of the supply is a principal supply and these are naturally bundled. so in my opinion GST should have been charged separately on goods and services. Even otherwise services to be supplied does not pertain to repairing or maintenance of furniture etc.
