GST ITC NON AVAILABILITY

This discussion explores the eligibility of claiming Goods and Services Tax (GST) Input Tax Credit (ITC) when expenses are related to non-GST applicable items. Specifically, it addresses whether ITC on freight charges, when these charges are added to invoices for non-GST items like diesel and petrol, can be claimed against the sale of GST-taxable items such as oils. The general consensus is that if GST is not applicable to the primary item or the freight service itself, then ITC cannot be claimed.
