### ITC Claim for Machine Manufacturer
In the context of GST, if a machine manufacturer also performs repair job work, the treatment of Input Tax Credit (ITC) on raw materials and the adjustment of ITC depend on the specific activities and how they are reported.
#### 1. **ITC on Raw Materials:**
- **For Machine Manufacturing:** - If a manufacturer buys raw materials for producing machines, ITC on these raw materials is typically available since the raw materials are used in the manufacture of taxable goods.
- **For Repair Job Work:** - ITC on raw materials used for repair job work is not directly allowed. However, if the manufacturer is performing repair job work under a separate contract, the raw materials purchased for manufacturing machines cannot be directly adjusted against the ITC of repair job work.
#### 2. **ITC Adjustment for Different Activities:**
- **Separate Activities:** - If the manufacturer engages in machine production and repair job work as distinct activities, the ITC for raw materials purchased for machine manufacturing cannot be adjusted against the repair job work income.
- **Integrated Activity:** - If the activities are integrated, such as manufacturing machines and using those machines in repair work, ITC can be adjusted provided that the repair job work income is related to the use of the manufactured goods.
#### 3. **Reporting and Compliance:**
- **ITC Claim:** - Ensure that ITC is claimed based on the specific activity for which the input tax was incurred. In cases where the input tax pertains to multiple activities, it should be allocated appropriately.
- **Documentation:** - Maintain proper documentation to segregate inputs used for manufacturing from those used for repair job work. Proper records are crucial for ensuring compliance and accurate ITC claims.
### Excise Duty
- **Under GST:** - Excise duty on products manufactured in India was subsumed under GST. Therefore, if you are operating under GST, excise duty is no longer applicable. Instead, GST would be the applicable tax for your manufacturing and repair activities.
#### Summary:
1. **ITC on Raw Materials:** - ITC on raw materials used for machine manufacturing is generally allowed. - ITC on raw materials used for repair job work may not be allowed directly.
2. **Separate vs. Integrated Activities:** - Keep ITC claims and adjustments distinct for different activities unless they are closely integrated.
3. **Excise Duty:** - Excise duty is not applicable under GST for goods manufactured. GST would be the relevant tax.
For precise compliance and detailed guidance, consulting a GST professional or tax advisor is recommended. They can help navigate complex scenarios and ensure that ITC is claimed and reported accurately.
