ELECTRICAL GOODS ITC
Asked by
Input Tax Credit eligibility for electrical installations affirmed when items constitute plant and machinery and no civil structure is created.
ITC on electrical wires, goods and a transformer for a granite quarry is allowable if those items qualify as plant and machinery rather than parts of a civil structure; installations directly used in extraction/manufacturing are treated as plant and machinery and attract ITC, but the taxpayer must demonstrate with invoices, site photos and technical notes that no immovable civil structure was created and that the equipment is integral to quarry operations.
