[2] INPUT TAX CREDIT
ITC means credit of Input Tax Sec 2 (63)
Input Tax Credit [ITC] is the core concept of GST , as it’s a destination based tax.
ITC avoids cascading effect of taxes and ensures that tax is collected in the state in

ITC means at the time of paying tax on output, you can reduce the tax you have
already paid on inputs and pay the balance amount.
When you buy a product/service from a registered dealer you pay input tax on the
purchase. On selling, you collect the tax. You adjust the taxes paid at the time of
purchase with the amount of output tax (tax on sales) and balance liability of tax (tax
on sales minus tax on purchase) has to be paid to the government. This mechanism is
called utilization of input tax credit.
Input tax is the tax paid by a registered person under the Act whether on forward
charge or reverse charge for the use of such goods or services or both in the course
or furtherance of his business.

supplies” at the top of the Bill of Supply.
