This discussion clarifies the rules surrounding Input Tax Credit (ITC) on free samples provided by manufacturers. It explains that ITC on raw materials used for free samples is considered a blocked credit under Section 17(5)(h) of the CGST Act. If ITC has been claimed, it must be reversed proportionately according to Rule 42. If ITC hasn't been claimed, it should be declared as ineligible ITC in GSTR-3B.
I am a manufacturer and supply 100 bottles of oil out of which 2 bottles I supply as free sample now I want to reverse the ITC for free supply can I apply rule 42 of CGST act
Yes I am a supplier but the raw material which I purchase for manufacturing the products which I supplied as sample shall I take itc or need to reverse
As per section 17(5) (h) of the CGST act 2017 , input tax credit. on free sample. is blocked credit or input tax credit not available ,so you need to reverse input tax credit .
Yes thank you if I have taken the credit attributes to raw material reversal will be done proportionately as per rule 42 or if I haven't taken the credit so far no need to reversal
