Reversal of input tax credit: sale of exempt by products triggers reversal under VAT/GST credit rules.
Reversal of input tax credit is triggered by the sale of goods produced incidentally during manufacture, not by their status as by products. The statutory credit regime aims to prevent double taxation by granting input credit for inputs used in manufacture, but the legislature determines the extent and conditions of credit. A provision that uses the terms 'goods' and 'sale' does not distinguish by products from final products, so where the incidental output is marketable and sold for consideration, reversal rules apply.
