Input tax credit depends on whether hospital construction is a taxable works contract service or supports exempt healthcare services.
Availability of input tax credit for hospital construction depends on whether the construction constitutes a taxable works contract service-entitling ITC-or is for the owner's own use or leads to exempt health care services, in which case ITC is not admissible. The key inquiry is whether the activity is a taxable outward supply; if output is exempt (including certain hospital services or rent used for exempt services), inputs attributable to that exempt supply cannot attract ITC.
