ITC
Tracking double taxation has become easy, in which ITC comes into play.
ITC means Input Tax Credit
And what it does?
It reduces the taxes paid on inputs from taxes to be paid on output.
For example
If I buy the raw material worth Rs 200, I will pay 24 @ 12% GST on it as tax.
Now after making product and cutting my profit if I sell it @ Rs 250 and now GST @ 18% on that product
So my product value will become Rs295 in which I will pay Rs 45 as tax.
But, here comes ITC.
And with this, I can say that I have already paid Rs24 as tax while purchasing raw material
So
I can reduce that amount claiming under ITC and will pay
45-24 = 21
Rs 21 as tax after selling my product.
