Sales tax ITC reversal credit

[sivakumar rathinasamy]

Sir,

We are leather tanning industry and we are processing Job work order. We are purchasing chemicals for Job work and we are taking input credit of VAT for purchase value and we are already reversing some % between 5 to 7 of input vat. Still we got notice from the sales tax dept.

What is the standard minimum % and Maximum % reversal credit to be done and give us the formula.

Thanks with regards,

Dear Siva,

It seems that you are not reversing the ITC as per the provisions mentioned in the TNVAT Act. Therefore TNVAT Department has issued a notice on your organization in this regard. Please check the relevant provisions as if you are doing jobwork only and not paying any output tax then you are not even allowed to avail the ITC under TNVAT Act read with Rules made there under.

Dear Sir,

Thanks for replying. But we are showing output vat for our sales at 70% of basic bill value and we are taking input credit for purchase of chemicals used for Job work.

Thanks with regards,

AI Summary

Input tax credit reversal: eligibility for ITC on job work supplies depends on output tax reporting and TNVAT treatment. Dispute over entitlement to Input Tax Credit in job work: a leather tanning unit claims VAT input credit on chemicals while reversing a small percentage and has received a departmental notice. The operative issue is whether ITC is allowable where job work is performed and the taxpayer reports output VAT at a stated proportion of basic bill value, versus the position under the TNVAT Act that pure job work without output tax discharge may preclude ITC.
