Input tax credit allowed for a specialised CCV tower treated as structural support forming part of plant and machinery.
Case-Laws
GST
The AAR held that a specialised steel CCV tower used in manufacturing insulated cables formed part of plant and machinery because the Explanation to section 17(5) includes apparatus, equipment and machinery fixed to earth by foundation or structural support, together with such foundation or support. On the applicant's process layout, the tower was an essential support system providing height, stability, alignment and operational integrity, so it was not a civil structure or immovable property for blocked-credit purposes. Accordingly, input tax credit on inputs and input services used to set up the tower was admissible and was not barred by section 17(5)(c) or section 17(5)(d).
