Input tax credit allows eligible businesses to reduce their GST liability using eligible tax paid on business purchases, subject to applicable GST conditions and restrictions.
Why ITC requires attention
Businesses should not treat every purchase invoice as automatically eligible for credit.
They should review:
- Nature of purchase
- Business use
- Valid tax invoice
- Supplier details
- GST data
- Applicable restrictions
- Relevant GST provisions
ITC reconciliation
A practical process is:
Purchase register → Supplier invoice → GSTR-2B → Eligibility review → ITC calculation
Good reconciliation can reduce the risk of claiming incorrect or unsupported credit.
