Question
My business is Supply and Sale of Natural Sand ( Reti, Moram) etc., I have 20 Truck and every month i have buy 1 new truck so than i can take claim input tax credit ? Also i can take credit Truck Tyre, Tube, spare parts etc ?
Answer
Section 17(5) of CGST Act blocks credit on motor
vehicles and other conveyances except when they are used:
(i) for making the following taxable supplies, namely:'
(A) further supply of such vehicles or conveyances ; or
(B) transportation of passengers; or
(C) imparting training on driving, flying, navigating such vehicles or
conveyances;
(ii) for transportation of goods
In your case the truck is purchased for transportation of goods (sand), hence
you are eligible for credit of GST paid on truck as well as for other related
expenses like tyre, tube, insurance etc.
