ITC Denied on Diwali Gifts for Employees: Section 17(5) of GST Act Disallows Credit for Gift Expenses A company inquired about claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) for items purchased as Diwali gifts for employees, paid via bank, with an IGST invoice issued. Five respondents unanimously clarified that ITC cannot be claimed for these purchases due to Section 17(5) of the GST Act, which disallows credit for goods given as gifts or free samples. The consensus was that such expenses are not in furtherance of business and are therefore ineligible for ITC. (AI Summary)
