Suppose you have purchased goods or taken services relating to your business. You would have paid GST on these purchases. The amount of GST paid by you is your Input Tax Credit (ITC). You can use this ITC against the GST payable by you on sale of goods or services.
For example, you have purchased goods from your supplier and have paid ₹ 10 as GST on those purchases. Now supposing you have sold goods to customers and have collected ₹ 30 as GST, you can use the ITC of ₹ 10 and will have to remit only ₹ 20 to the government as GST.
