31 October 2018 When you purchase anything, you are required to pay GST on it. Later, you can claim input tax credit on the GST paid on your purchases. SImilarly, when you are purchasing any machinery for your factory, you will pay the applicable GST rate. This GST paid can be claimed as credit in the same way as inputs.

However, if you claim depreciation on the GST paid while purchasing the capital asset, you cannot claim input tax credit.
