Facts of the Case
The applicant was an authorized dealer of motor vehicle company. It filed an application to determine whether input tax credit would be allowed on purchase of vehicles which would be used for demonstration/test drive purposes.
AAR Held
The Authority for Advance Ruling observed that the provisions of GST laws nowhere specify that input tax credit shall not be available if any outward supply is made at lower price than its procurement value. The demo vehicles after a specified period of time would be supplied at price lower than purchase value of said vehicle. Therefore, the applicant would be eligible to avail input tax credit on purchases of demo vehicles which can be set off against output tax payable under GST.
