Builder Eligible for ITC on Client House Construction Under GST; Section 17(5)(d) Applies, 18% Tax Rate A query was raised regarding whether a builder can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) for constructing a house without outsourcing services. One respondent clarified that the builder is eligible to claim ITC on goods used, as the construction is not on the builder's own account but for a client, making Section 17(5)(c) inapplicable. Instead, Section 17(5)(d) applies, allowing ITC utilization subject to Section 16 conditions. Another respondent agreed, noting the tax rate on the transaction should be 18%. (AI Summary)
