The Finance Ministry said the deadline to avail input tax credit (ITC) for last financial year will remain October 20.

About:

  • Input Credit means at the time of paying tax on sales, you can reduce the tax you have already paid on purchases.

  • Input Tax Credit (ITC) means reducing the taxes paid on inputs from taxes to be paid on output. When any supply of services or goods is supplied to a taxable person, the GST charged is known as Input Tax.

  • The concept is not entirely new as it already existed under the pre-GST indirect taxes regime (service tax, VAT and excise duty). Now its scope has been widened under GST.
