As a society manager, you may have the query, can we claim ITC on society maintenance charges? So, the answer is yes. For goods and amenities used for maintenance, societies are eligible to claim an Input Tax Credit or ITC on the GST paid. Let’s check out few more important points on this.

Eligibility for ITC on Society Maintenance Charges

  • Registered Taxpayers: Only businesses or registered taxpayers under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime can claim ITC. If you are an individual or not registered under GST, you cannot claim ITC.

  • Business Usage: The maintenance fees must be paid for legitimate company needs. It cannot be claimed if the property is used for personal or domestic purposes.

Conditions for Claiming ITC on Maintenance Charges

  • Invoice Requirement: To claim ITC, you must have a valid GST invoice for the maintenance charges. The invoice should clearly mention the GST charged.

  • Nature of Charges: The maintenance fees ought to be directly related to how the firm is run. For instance, you can claim the ITC on maintenance costs for shared facilities utilised for business operations if you run a commercial establishment in the community.

  • Compliance with GST Rules: Ensure that the society is registered under GST and is correctly charging GST on maintenance charges. The society should issue a proper tax invoice that complies with GST requirements.

Required Documentation

  • GST Invoice

  • Proof of Payment: Payment receipts or bank statements.
