Input tax credit allowed for foundation and structural support used with plant and machinery in factory construction.
Case-Laws
GST
Input tax credit was held admissible on works contract input services used to construct foundation and structural support for plant and machinery installed in the factory. The Authority reasoned that section 17(5)(c) blocks credit for works contract services used for immovable property, but the Explanation to section 17 expressly includes the foundation and structural support of apparatus, equipment and machinery within “plant and machinery”. Because the RCC and steel structures were used only to support the machines, absorb vibration and ensure stability, they were not treated as excluded civil structures. The applicant was therefore entitled to credit on the impugned services.
