Section 140 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act outlines the transitional arrangements for input tax credit under the GST regime in India. These provisions govern how businesses can carry forward CENVAT credit from the previous tax regime, ensuring seamless transition and compliance. The section specifies conditions under which eligible duties and taxes paid on inputs, capital goods, and stock can be credited in the electronic ledger, thereby facilitating a smooth adaptation to the new tax framework. What is Section 140 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act about? Section 140 of the CGST Act deals with the transitional provisions for claiming input tax credit (ITC) under the new GST regime for taxes paid under the previous tax laws. Who can claim transitional input tax credit? Any registered person, except those opting for the composition scheme under section 10, can claim transitional input tax credit. What can be claimed as transitional input tax credit? Carried Forward Credit of CENVAT: A registered person can claim credit of eligible duties carried forward in their electronic credit ledger from returns filed under the old law before the GST rollout. However, this credit cannot be claimed if it pertains to goods exempted from tax or if the person has not filed all required returns for the preceding six months. Unavailed CENVAT Credit on Capital Goods: Credit for the unavailed portion of CENVAT credit on capital goods can be claimed, provided it was eligible under the old law and remains eligible under GST. Credit on Stock of Goods: Manufacturers, dealers, or importers can claim credit for eligible duties paid on inputs held in stock or inputs in semi-finished or finished goods held in stock on the GST rollout day, provided certain conditions are met. These conditions include using the inputs for taxable supplies under GST, possessing valid documents showing duty payment, and ensuring the supplier of services did not opt for any tax abatement. How should the transitional input tax credit be claimed? The process involves filing prescribed forms within the stipulated time frame and adhering to the conditions laid out in the law. The credit must be supported by appropriate documentation to establish compliance with the requirements.
