Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether businesses can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on investments made in gold. GST is generally not applicable to gold investments as they are treated as capital assets rather than a supply of goods or services. Consequently, ITC cannot typically be claimed on such investments, as the conditions outlined in Section 16 for claiming ITC on goods or services used in the course of business are not met.
