Input Tax Credits (ITC)
Case Study 1:Cenvat Credits to Works Contractor.
Scenario 1: Civil Contractor has undertaken Taxable

Whether he shall be available to take credit under GST?
Ans: YES u/s 17(5)(c). Only for Works Contract
Services.

Scenario 1: Builder/Developer has a partially completed construction. He continued to avail CENVAT Credit under
Service Tax Regime. Service Tax Credit is available on all the input services and not on inputs including works
contractors services. Vat is Payable at 0.6% & Service Tax is payable at 4.5% Stamp Duty is also paid at ~5%. Whether
Cenvat shall be available?
Conditions : - As per Section 17(5)(d), which states,
" (5) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (1) of section 16 and subsection (1) of section 18, input tax credit
shall not be available in respect of the following, namely:—
(d) goods or services or both received by a taxable person for construction of an immovable
property (other than plant or machinery) on his own account including when such goods or services or
both are used in the course or furtherance of business.”
Issues : - Inputs were mainly charged under Excise & VAT. Input services were charged under Service Tax. With the
Enactment of GST, segregation of Labour & Material under CGST, SGST and IGST become virtually impossible and
therefore, most likely no Credits whatsoever shall be made available to builders and standard fix tax rates shall be
made applicable only on deemed supply of services i.e. booking before OC.

T = Total input tax on inputs of a tax period
T=1000000
T1 = Input tax on inputs exclusively used for non business purpose.
T1 = 25000, T2 = 345000, T3 = 67000
T2 = Input tax on inputs exclusively used for exempt supplies.
T3 = Input tax on inputs in eligible
T4=472000
T4 = ITC attributable excl. for Zero rate supplies & Taxable Supplies.
C1=T-(T1+T2+T3) = 1000000-(25000+345000+67000) = 563000
C1 = Amount credited to electronic ledger.
C2 = Common credit after attribution of ITC to taxable supplies(T4).
C2=C1–T4 = 563000 – 472000 = 91000
D1 = Common ITC attributable to exempt supplies.
E = Total exempt supplies of a tax period. (Prev. month if no data)
D1=(E÷F) X C2 = (7/10) x 91000 = 63700
F = Total turnover of a tax period. (Prev. month if no data)
D2=5% of C2 = 0.05 x 91000 = 4550
D2 = common ITC attributable to non business purpose supplies.
C3 = remainder common credit attributable to taxable and zero rated supplies.
C3=C2-(D1+D2) = 91000-(63700+4550) = 22750
