1. Company purchased capital goods on 08-07-2017 for Rs. 1,70,000/- for exempted and
taxable supplies.

2. Company purchased capital goods on 08-07-2017 for Rs. 1,50,000/- to be used for

Computation of Input tax credit:-

Step:-1(Most Important)

Example-1

4/7
Inward taxable & exempt supplies:- Firstly we can take full credit during the tax period. After
that we will reduce 5% every quarter or part of quarter. Because an exempt supplies capital
goods credit is not allow.

Example:-2

Capital goods purchase for exclusively use in exempt supplies dated 08-07-2017 Rs.
1,50,000/-.

After that company used same goods in taxable & exempt supplies.

20-08-2017 Rs. 1,50,000/- (July-Sep). It’s a part of quarter but we will calculate as
complete quarter.

Now let’s calculate computation of output tax liability =>

Note:-The aggregate of the amounts of ‘A’ credited to the electronic credit ledger under
clause (c ), to be denoted as ‘Tc’, shall be the common credit in respect of capital goods for
a tax period:.

Step:-2 Monthly Input credit

Tm=> Tc/60(5*12)

‘Tm’1=> Rs. 1,29,690/60 => Rs. 2161.15 per month credit

‘Tm’2=> Rs. 1,70,000*18%=> Rs. 30,600/-

Rs. 30,600/60 => Rs. 510/-

Note:-The amount of input tax credit attributable to a tax period on common capital goods
during their useful life, be denoted as ‘Tm’ and calculated as-

6/7
Step -3

Total input monthly=> Rs. 2161.15+510 => Rs. 2671.5/-

Aggregate of all such capital goods (Tm) Tr. => Rs. 2671.5/-

Note:-The amount of tax credit, at the beginning of a tax period, on all common capital
goods whose useful life remains during the tax period, be denoted as ‘Tr’ and shall be the
aggregate of ‘Tm’ for all such capital goods;

Step:-4

Note-The amount of common credit attributable towards exempted supplies, be denoted as

‘Te’ and calculated as –

‘Te’=> (E/F)*Tr

‘Te’=> 30,00,000/70,00,000*2671.50 => Rs. 1144.92/-

Finally we get exempt (Ineligible credit) portion amount, which need to be deposit along
with interest in every tax period.

Note:- The amount ‘Te’ shall be computed separately for central tax, state tax, union
territory tax and integrated tax.
