What is the relationship between GST input, output, purchases, sales and ITC claims? I am unclear about how this works.
The relationship between GST input, output, purchases, sales, and ITC claims is as follows:
- GST input is the tax paid on purchases made by a business.
- GST output is the tax charged on sales made by a business.
- The input tax credit (ITC) is the credit that a business can claim for the GST paid on purchases.
- The ITC claim is the process of claiming the credit for the GST paid on purchases.
- The ITC claim is adjusted against the output tax liability, which is the tax charged on sales.
- The difference between the input and output tax is either paid to the government or claimed as a refund, depending on the situation.
In summary, businesses can claim the GST paid on purchases as input tax credit, which is then adjusted against the GST charged on sales. The difference between the input and output tax determines the final tax liability or refund.
