Input tax credit (ITC)

Input Tax Credit or ITC under GST is the credit back of the tax a registered GST taxpayer pays on inputs i.e. purchases. This tax he is liable to get back from the government.

For Example: A registered taxpayer has generated a sales invoice which has Rs. 500 as tax for the final product and collected the same from his final customer. Let us assume he has already paid a tax of Rs. 200 while purchase of the raw material. Now the supplier from whom he may have bought raw material will deposit Rs 200 to government.Thus, this Rs 200 is the tax paid on the inputs which he can deduct from his liability on final product. So, the taxpayer needs to pay tax only of Rs. 300 (i.e.Rs. 500 – 200).
