ITC Practical Example

Suppose you are a manufacturer, and you manufacture smartphones in India. So, in order to manufacture a smartphone, you’d have to hire people, set up machinery and a whole manufacturing plant, and buy raw materials or parts from other suppliers to manufacture a smartphone. Correct? And when buying the raw material or machinery for your manufacturing plant, the seller will for sure collect 18% GST from you. So as per the ITC concept, you can record that tax amount in your books. And at the time of selling the smartphone to the consumer, you can collect the GST from them, but when it is time to pay back the taxes to the government, you can utilize ICT for tax deductions. Because you have already paid GST for raw materials, labor costs, and machinery setup.
