Gst on goods provided for services services

217 views 4 replies

We are startup and provide services to monitor workspaces. E.g. we monitor air quality, temperature, humidity etc. As our service offering, we provide various hardware to monitor premises at customer place and we charge certain amount as installation charges. We then charge monthly charge for monitoring the premises.

If customer uses our service for 2 years, they don't need to return back our hardware or in other words, we don't take back the hardware.

How and can we claim GST paid on purchase of hardware as input tax credit and what rate do we raise invoice to customer. We are raising invoice only for services but question is how do we show the hardware in invoice? Or we need to show hardware at all.

Okay...
What about the hardware and it's purchase cost...?
Based on the facts of the case and as far I have understood this is what you can do!!!!!Since the hardware you have purchased is your property and it is used by you for rendering the service of monitoring the workplaces of your client. Without the hardware it is not possible for you render the service . Hence of you have a valid invoice for the hardware and you haven’t capitalised the gst paid on such hardware you may take input tax credit for gst paid in such hardware and it can be set off against output tax payable on services provided.. The above is one view..Another view is that the activity that you are doing is a composite supply wherein which rendering of the service is the primary supply and hardware is incidental and ancillary to it. In such case rate of tax of the principal supply will prevail.
It's fact that you must not doing business in Loss, so the Hardware cost you are providing to customer must be included in your service bill.

Yes , you definitely can avail ITC on hardware , but since you are providing it free to customer , ITC has to be reverse as per Section 17(5)
