Quick Summary
This discussion addresses what to do if you have Input Tax Credit (ITC) available in your GSTR-2B but choose not to claim it. It explores scenarios where claiming ITC might be complex or uncertain, such as with travel agent service charges, and advises on how to handle these situations. The consensus leans towards not claiming ITC if there's doubt, and it's confirmed that you can manually adjust Table 4.A.(5) to zero if you decide not to avail the credit.

Hi,

Please let me know the reason for not claiming ITC so that i can suggest properly 

Sir , Actually there are some doubts
...

Suppose I have booked an Air ticket or Hotel from MakeMyTrip. MakeMyTrip has a service charge of Rs 300/- ... Hence I have to pay GST of Rs 54 (18%) to MakeMyTrip on their service charge. This Rs 54/- will show in my 2B as ITC.

Now I am selling this ticket to my Customer with a Service Charge of Rs 500/- ... Hence I have to pay Rs 90/- (18%) as GST to the Government on my Service Charge..

Now my question is -
Can I claim & utilize this ITC in this case ?? Should I pay 90-54 = Rs 36/- only ??

some CA are saying yes some are saying No. As there is doubt , I thought not to Avail the ITC....

As per your case :

1- if you charge 18% on full value (including Ticket Price & Service), Then you can take benefit of ITC having regard to some condition like you should be registered in the state where hotel is in existence or flight embark.

* My View :- the above condition to get ITC of Hotel Booking & Air Ticket Booking, which are difficult to follow so mostly professional suggest not to avail ITC

2- If you charge 5% on full Value as tour operator, Then you can not take benefit of ITC except similar line business ITC.

*My View :- You should select second option

Further  you can make Table 4.A.(5) zero instead of Auto filled ITC amount.

 

Sir ,
As given in condition 1 ....

if I charge 18% on total hotel bill and give it to customer (Where Hotel is situtated in my state & claim the ITC) , What will be the PLACE OF SUPPLY and SAC Code ??

will it come under SAC 998552??

1- Place of Supply : Location of Hotel

2- SAC as mentioned by you is correct

 

And if I work on service charge & Commission basis ??

i mean Hotel is giving commission of Rs 100/- and I am also Applying Service charge of Rs 100/-

I am isauing Tax Invoice for both the cases of 18% .

Is this case , What will be place of Supply??
