18 July 2024 To calculate the input tax credit available under GST for your existing stock purchased under the earlier VAT regime, we need to understand the transition provisions and rules regarding input tax credit (ITC) under GST.

Here’s how you can calculate the available input tax credit after 1st July, considering the details provided:

1. **Existing Stock under VAT:**
- Local VAT paid at 12.5%: ₹400,000
- Local VAT paid at 5%: ₹100,000

2. **Total VAT Paid:**
Total VAT paid = ₹500,000

### Transition to GST Input Tax Credit (ITC):

Under GST, the transition rules allow for the carry forward of the input tax credit of VAT paid on stock held on the appointed day (1st July 2017). Here’s how you can transition the VAT credit to GST ITC:

- **VAT Credit eligible for transition to GST:**
- VAT paid on stock held on 1st July 2017 is eligible for transition to GST ITC.

Since you have utilized all the VAT input credit previously, you can avail the following transition credits under GST:

- **GST Input Tax Credit (ITC) available:**
- For VAT paid @ 12.5%: ₹400,000
- For VAT paid @ 5%: ₹100,000

Therefore, the total GST Input Tax Credit (ITC) available after 1st July would be ₹500,000.

### Important Considerations:

- Ensure that you have all necessary documents (VAT paid invoices) to substantiate your claim for transition credit under GST.
- GST allows for the transition of VAT credits into the electronic credit ledger, which can be utilized for payment of GST liabilities.
- The utilization of GST ITC is governed by GST law and rules, and it should comply with all provisions regarding the eligibility and utilization of input tax credit.

This calculation assumes that all VAT paid on the stock held as on 1st July 2017 is eligible for transition to GST input tax credit, based on the information provided. If there are specific conditions or restrictions applicable to your situation, it’s advisable to consult with a GST professional or refer to GST regulations for detailed guidance.
