Input Tax Credit Calculation

Input Tax Credit is the soul of GST. The reason behind the same is that, in the GST era, businesses will be allowed avail ITC across the state's borders and can be used to meet the output tax liability. This requires businesses to attach extra care towards input tax calculation. Availing the right ITC will ensure that the working capital of the business is maintained properly, and also help to maintain the credibility of the business.

Tax Calculation under GST

Under GST, the taxes applicable are CGST, SGST/UTGST & IGST.

• For intra-state transactions: CGST + SGST/UTGST will be availed
• For inter-state transactions: IGST will be availed

For all such transactions, whenever a business pays a particular tax, the appropriate amount will get apportioned to the respective electronic ledger, which can then be used to meet the future tax liability.

In order to calculate input tax credit, the following rules need to be adhered to:
