Input Tax Claiming

This discussion explores whether a business trading jaggery can claim the 18% GST paid on packing materials. The business purchases unpacked jaggery with 0% GST, then packs and brands it, attracting a 5% GST on the final product. The question is whether the input tax on the 18% GST packing materials is reclaimable. Initial advice suggests 'yes', but further clarification on relevant notifications and parameters under Section 16 of GST law is sought.
