Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a private limited company can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on rent-a-car services when GST is charged at 12%. Generally, ITC on vehicle rentals is blocked credit under Section 17(5)(b)(I), unless the vehicle has 12 or more seats. It's also suggested to explore providers charging 5% GST to potentially reduce tax costs.

As per section 17(5)(b)(I) ITC on renting of vehicles is blocked credit , Input tax credit not available .

If motor vehicle which is being rented is 12 or more seater then credit is eligible. If not credit is not eligible. 

Also, to reduce tax costs may look at comparing quotes from other rent a cab providers who charge 5% GST instead of 12%.
