Hello,

 

I am constructing a building on a rented property for hotel purposes. Can I claim the ITC on the construction expenses. The building is being build purely for business purposes.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether Input Tax Credit (ITC) can be claimed on expenses incurred for constructing a hotel building on rented property for business purposes. Generally, ITC is claimable on construction services if the supplier is GST-registered and you've paid GST on inward supplies. However, a key point is that if the construction costs are capitalised as immovable property, ITC is blocked under Section 17(5)(d) of the CGST Act, unless the expenses are not capitalised. Proper documentation and verification of supplier GST registration are essential for claiming ITC.

Would the section Section 17 (5) (d) of the CGST Act prohibits ITC claims on construction materials used in construction of immovable property except for plant and machinery not be applicable in this case?

Yes, construction materials such as cement, steel, bricks… and real estate construction services (except plant/machinery) are not eligible for ITC deduction if used for construction of real estate for the investor himself, whether for business or not.

Yes, you can claim ITC on construction expenses only if the expenses are not capitalized. If the construction cost is capitalized as immovable property, ITC is blocked under Section 17(5)(d) of the CGST Act. Check how your accounting treatment is slope game.

 You can claim ITC, if it is not capitalized, I agree with you Bradley Earnerst
