Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether companies can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on gifts provided to their staff. According to Section 17(5)(h) of the CGST Act 2017, ITC is blocked on goods distributed as gifts or free samples. Therefore, a company cannot claim ITC on the GST component of a silver gift worth approximately £10,000 given to employees, nor on silver articles purchased for the office.
As per the Provision of Section 17(5) clause (h) of the CGST Act 2017, Input Tax Credit ( ITC ) is specifically BLOCKED on Goods distributed as "Gifts" or Free Samples.
So the Company is not eligible to claim the ITC on GST component of Rs. 10,000 Silver Gift given to their staffs.
