flight expenses can be taken as Input Credit ?

[rakesh rohilla]

I have booked 2 flight tickets for business meeting of a client of departure and return. Can i take credit of taxes paid on ticket and under which head i can adjust the input in GST portal. Moreover I have paid a hotel in cash of rs 1000, can i book input on this also or not. A small attention to this query is highly appreciated.

If the gstn is mentioned in the invoice, there is no restriction of taking credit. But in hotel case, credit of cgst,sgst of one state cannot be taken in another state.

Yes, you can avail ITC Subject to Tax invoice having your Company's name & GSTN number.

[DR.MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN]

The expenditure incurred should be in the course of or furtherance of business for availing input tax credit.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

It will be challenging to prove that the expense was not for personal purpose.

Credit can be availed as long as it is used in the course of furtherance of business

AI Summary

Input tax credit: eligible where tax invoice shows company name and GSTN and expense is for business use.
Claiming Input Tax Credit for flight tickets and hotel expenses requires a valid tax invoice in the company's name showing the GSTN and that the expenditure was incurred in the course of or for furtherance of business; personal use undermines entitlement. Tax credits must be claimed in line with invoice/GSTN matching on the portal, and tax components attributable to one state cannot be taken as credit in another state.
