Suggestions on GST Acts (July 2017) by Institute of Chartered Accountants of India
22. Denial of Credit on Goods Confiscated or detained
Clause i of Section 17(5) of CGST Act provides that input tax credit shall not be available in respect of the any tax paid in terms of section 74, Section 129 or Section 130 dealing with confiscation and detainment of goods.
Issue
When the Confiscated Goods are released and sold it will be subject to tax and hence to deny the credit thereon is not appropriate subject to tax, interest & penalty.
Suggestion
It is suggested that there be no denial of ITC on goods confiscated or detained. Interest & penalty may be charged but denial of credit lead to cascading and multipoint tax philosophy.
