Input tax credit

Intertek India (P.) Ltd. v. Assistant Commissioner of Central Taxes and Central Excise

Where petitioner with multiple state registrations received foreign IT services invoiced to one state but consideration and tax under reverse charge were discharged by another unit which issued self-invoice as prescribed, denial of input tax credit on grounds of invoice address was unsustainable since statutory conditions for ITC were satisfied and self-invoice constituted valid tax-paying document. GST: Where petitioner cross-charged service value and corresponding input tax credit from head office to other states without ISD registration for July 2017 to March 2019, since unamended law did not mandate ISD registration and distribution route was not compulsory as per statutory materials, such cross-charge was not illegal and penalty demand was unsustainable
