How to File Form GST TRAN-1: Part 2

In our earlier blog How to File Form GST TRAN-1: Part I, we discussed about filing GST TRAN-1 with details of CENVAT and input VAT credit carried forward. In this blog, we will discuss about how to file Form GST TRAN-1 for claiming transitional ITC on Capital goods.In the earlier regime of indirect tax, there were various conditions and restrictions for availing ITC on capital goods. For example, under Central Excise, a manufacturer can avail ITC up to 50 % in the current year and remaining in the subsequent year. Similarly, under VAT, each state had different provisions for claiming input vat on capital goods. As a result, on the date of transitioning to GST, businesses who have unavailed input tax credit on capital goods will be allowed to carry forward the unavailed portion as transitional ITC to GST.To be eligible to carry forward such credit, the businesses need to meet the following conditions:

• CENVAT and input VAT are allowed as input tax credit in earlier regime
• It is admissible as input tax credit under GST
