Reconciling input tax credit

One of the key challenges of the erstwhile tax regime was that the levy of taxes had a cascading effect. In the GST regime, this was sought to be remedied by allowing input tax credit, commonly known as ITC, on procurements. In the module on ITC, you would have learnt that ITC can only be availed if the supplier has furnished the details of the invoice in their statement of outward supplies and has paid the tax to the Government.

Distributing input tax credits

An input service distributor or ISD is a facility made available to businesses to distribute the tax paid on input services from a centralised location.

In this module, you will learn what an ISD is, the manner of distribution of tax, the compliance requirements and the process of reconciliation prior to tax distribution.
