INPUT tax credit admissibility on works contract

Contractor will do civil,plumbing,sanitary ,painting to our Office Guest House. Is it a works contract? Not directly linked to factory. So,are we entitled to input tax credit on GST paid on consolidated bill? Please guide.

Also due to supply and services being different HSN/SAC, is 18% flat of varying Gst rate be applicable?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the admissibility of Input Tax Credit (ITC) on GST paid for works contracts, specifically for office guest house renovations. While Section 17(5)(d) of the GST Act often disallows ITC on such services, an explanation allows it if the expenses are treated as revenue expenditure and not capitalised. The key is demonstrating that the expenditure is incurred in the course of or furtherance of business, even if not directly linked to production.

No ... you cannot , it's being disallowed in section 17(5).

Yes as per the Explanation Under clause (d) of section 17(5) , if such expenses is not capitalised & book as revenue expenditure , the ITC can be claimed.

Note : To book as revenue need to consider the nature of Expenditure & being allowed by you CA or otherwise objection will be raise during the Audit.

Sir

 

This is being treated as revenue spend. But it is Guedt House at City. Not within the proximity of plant. Not directly associated with production. Kindly advise.Civil,Plumbing,Painting as a composite works contract will cost Rs.13 Lakhs approx.

As per section 17(5)(d), If the expenditure is used in the course of or furtherance of business, can avail Input Credit. Means if You are getting and revenue or sale Income against the said revenue expenditure only you are eligible. 

Sir

It is Guest House meant for outstation employees, rarely for outside buyers. Difficult to appropriate spend between sales activity and internal purpose. Rgds,

yes it cover under the course & furtherance of business , can be say that it is facility being provided to employee in course of business .
